Description

1873 Closed 3 Two Cent, PR64 Red and Brown

1873 2C Closed 3 PR64 Red and Brown PCGS. An early 1873 proof from the Closed 3 logotype. Harry X Boosel made the date famous with his lifetime of research. We know that proofs of most denominations are all Closed 3 pieces. This is because most proofs were struck at the beginning of the year, and the modified Open 3 logotype was not introduced until after the proofs were struck. A few exceptions, such as the two-cent piece, exist. In this denomination, all coins were proofs, including examples of both date styles. This moderately reflective proof is mostly brown, but exhibits portions of mint red on both sides.(Registry values: N1793)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2753, PCGS# 3652, Greysheet# 2758)

Weight: 6.22 grams
