$550 		No Arrows, Near-Gem Original, Newtown Collection.. Light crust outlines the protected areas of this Closed 3 example, while medium rose-gray centers lead toward pleasing blue-green color at the rims. Although not excessively rare, these coins were produced for only a short time at the beginning of 1873, before the Mint realized that the 3 in the date more closely resembled an 8. WB-4, with the date far to the right and a clash in the lower right portion of the reverse shield. CAC notes 32 coins total, three examples in AU50, and 14 pieces finer. The CAC price guide value is $525. This is a solid collector coin at the stated level, scarce with original preservation and featuring the “closed 3” numeral punch. Ex. Heritage (August 2023, lot 27236), realized $720. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #6336. December 1969
