Alas, 163373 is not prime! For the first 100 terms, I get:

{3, 7, 3, 3, 43, 101, 19, 269, 1873, 41, 241, 3137, 139, 9011, 9187,

Larger concatenations are probable primes only, of course. For the  
suggested subsidiary sequence (terms are 'least number', instead of  
'least prime'), I get:

{3, 1, 1, 21, 11, 43, 47, 157, 753, 51, 917, 273, 2409, 703, 413,

Somewhat more constrained but, to me - appealing, would be to limit  
oneself to terms that are 'least prime whose digit-reversal is also  
prime' (A007500). For this, I get:

{3, 7, 3, 3, 79, 701, 157, 1103, 11959, 1901, 10273, 92753, 17047,
