Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7034 Posts	Posted 11/29/2024 10:41 pm Sorry late to the party....I have a love hate relationship with gold coins, I love to collect them, hate to grade them from photos. That being said, I'm seeing this coin at MS-61...maybe 62 for a Friday coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5672 Posts	Posted 11/30/2024 01:25 am Although the reverse is nice, the obverse left field and the face are pretty banged up. I'd say MS-61, possibly 62 at most. Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6385 Posts	Posted 11/30/2024 03:22 am The closed 3 1873 is scarce and valuable in mint state, while the open 3 variety is about the most common Type 2 double eagle. If this were the closed 3 variety perhaps certification would make sense. Assuming the first obverse photo is at all accurate, this coin has severe marks. The two crossed scratches in front of the face look like graffiti. Based on my experience sending gold coins to PCGS I can't see them giving this coin a pass. I'm seeing MS detail, damaged, scratches, and/or graffiti. Report this Post to the Staff
