1873-S $20 Closed 3 Liberty Double Eagle PCGS MS63

1873-S $20 Closed 3 Liberty Double Eagle – PCGS MS63

This 1873-S $20 Liberty Double Eagle, featuring the scarce “Closed 3” date variety, has been certified and graded by PCGS as MS63. PCGS’s secure holder ensures the coin’s authenticity and MS63 grade.

The “Closed 3” refers to the styling of the numeral “3” in the date, where the ends are nearly joined—unlike the more open version also used in 1873. This subtle variation adds collector appeal and historical interest to the coin.

Designed by James B. Longacre and struck from 1849 to 1907, the Liberty Head Double Eagle remains one of the most iconic gold coins in American history. Each piece contains nearly one full troy ounce of gold, making it highly valued both for its gold content and its numismatic significance.
