The Closed 3 Variety from 1873 displays serifs on the 3 that are so close, it can be confused with an 8. Scarce only as a high-end gem with brown color. Otherwise, it is quite common. The same applies to examples with red-brown surfaces with scarcity starting at PR65. Full red examples are even scarcer. Only rare, in any way, if there are cameo surfaces. Look for attractively toned brown pieces or blazing red surfaces as those are highly sought after and not too tough to find.
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.
