1873 Gold Three Dollar


1873 Gold Three Dollar

Closed 3

Circulation Mintage: 100
Estimated Survivors: Less Than 12 in Mint State
Obverse Text: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA | LIBERTY
Reverse Text: 1873 | 3 DOLLARS

Estimates place mintage of this date at 600 to 900 or so coins, however the figure was not recorded by the Mint. As a date, the 1873 Close 3 $3 in any grade is a proud holder of the “third-rarest” title of the series behind just the 1875 and 1876 Proof-only issues in terms of absolute rarity. It is estimated that fewer than a dozen examples can truly be called Mint State today, as most of the known examples show some sign of circulation.
