1873 Open 3 Liberty Head Double Eagle. . AU.
From the Dr. Jay M. Galst Collection.
Struck with both an open and closed 3 in the date, the 1873 open 3, as here, is the more common variety and one of the most obtainable dates in the Liberty Head Double Eagle series. This is the "type 2" Double Eagle with "Twenty D." as the identifying denomination on the reverse. A small scuff behind the mouth is the only contact mark of note. An attractive coin with much remaining luster.
