The Closed 3 Variety from 1873 displays serifs on the 3 that are so close, it can be confused with an 8. This variety is far more rare than its Open 3 counterpart. Common through MS63 with MS64's and finer gems becoming more scarce. We start seeing true rarity in this issue at the MS65 level especially with red color.
Obverse Description
A portrait bearing the likeness of a Native American in full headdress framed by the words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the periphery. The date is centered at the bottom under the portrait.
Reverse Description
The reverse bears the denomination of ONE CENT in the center surrounded by a wreath bearing a ribbon with arrows tied in at the bottom center.
