Indian Cents
1873 1C Closed 3 MS65 Red and Brown PCGS. CAC. After a couple months of production, the Mint began receiving complaints that the 3 looked too much like an 8, and they modified the punches, changing the Closed 3 to an Open 3. For most denominations, the circulation strike Closed 3 coins are much rarer. This Gem Indian cent exhibits rich reddish-orange luster that is blended with chocolate-brown toning. Population: 41 in 65 (2 in 65+) Red and Brown, 4 finer. CAC: 10 in 65, 1 finer (11/16).
