1873 CLOSED 3 INDIAN HEAD CENT PENNY SNOW 1 POPULAR DOUBLE LIBERTY DIE! (IH669)

Description

Perfect variety coin for that Indian Head Cent collection at an affordable price.  Often called the "Chief" of all Indian Head cent varieties, or otherwise known as the 1873-Doubled Liberty, this variety is always in very high demand and sought-after by all collectors in all grades. Fivaz and Stanton state in their book, that in lower grades (as this one is), the variety can more easily be attributed and identified by the doubling on the eye and lips.  Here with this coin, the doubling is more evident along the forehead and nose, as well as under the nose and upper lip.  Please see close up photo.  In these grades where the headdress and LIBERTY are often completely worn, the nose and lips are the only place where one can attribute the coin correctly, although this coin does still exhibit some degree of most all the known diagnostics, including die cracks and lines and other anomalies.  Fivaz and Stanton value this coin in Very Fine at ,000.00.  It is very rare and very difficult to stumble on and find with only about 300 known in all grades.  It is in our best, subjective opinion, this coin's condition is Very Good with a published value of between 0 and 0. Please note that the high-resolution photos bring out far more flaws than what one can see in-hand.  The coin itself does surprisingly look to be a far better grade in person to the naked eye, and has a pleasing even medium-chocolate color. Great eye-appeal in-hand for the grade...
