1873 Gold Dollar ($1) Open 3

Bursting with bright, satiny luster and a rich orange-gold hue, this MS62 Open 3 beams with lively eye appeal. The strike is crisp for the date, with bold detail that pops under a lamp, and the surfaces read as original and undisturbed by any past mishandling. A bit of scattered friction in the open fields set the ceiling, but the vibrant cartwheel action more than carries the look. Housed in a PCGS gold shield holder and approved by a green CAC sticker, this example has that fresh, unmolested skin we all love to see on gold dollars.
