Liberty Half Eagles
1873 $5 Closed 3 MS62 NGC. This copper-gold example has ample peripheral luster, a decent strike, and modest field marks for the grade. The 2017 Guide Book Closed 3 mintage of 112,480 pieces is incorrect, since the figure excludes the Open 3 production and quotes a separate mintage figure of 112,505 coins for the Open 3 variety. In reality, both date styles account for a portion of the total mintage of 112,480 pieces. Uncirculated Closed 3 examples are seldom seen. Census: 23 in 62, 12 finer (4/17).
Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 6/2006), lot 3346; Denver Signature (Heritage, 8/2006), lot 1881; Dallas Signature (Heritage, 4/2007), lot 1725; Summer FUN Signature (Heritage, 7/2009), lot 1600.
