Despite PCGS’s estimates that the Close 3 (or “Closed 3” as it is sometimes called) Three Cent Nickel is more common than the Open 3, I find not to be the case. Perhaps that refers to Uncirculated coinage, however I can tell you that the 1873 as a date is not encountered all that often, and the Close 3 even less so. Despite that, they are cheap, probably as not that many people collect the series. This is a nice original coin with no problems.
