1873 Closed 3. Choice Brilliant Uncirculated. Gently glowing yellow-gold shows a hint a red. The strike is remarkably full with an inconspicuous hairline noted just left of the reverse wreath ribbon. The Closed 3 is one of the rarities of the later Gold Dollar dates with only approximately 1,800 pieces struck. While 38 appearances of the Closed 3 are recorded by Dannreuther and Garrett in their 10-year auction listing, only two of these were in Choice Mint State condition.
