Pleasing 1873 Closed 3 Two Cent, PR63 Brown

1873 2C Closed 3 PR63 Brown NGC. 1873 was the final year of the two cent piece, and was a proof-only issue. The Closed 3 type was struck before its Open 3 counterpart, and it is estimated that the former had a mintage of approximately 600 pieces. Lovely chocolate brown patina shows traces of bright red luster in the protected areas. The strike is crisp, and the surfaces are exceptionally clean for the grade. A wonderful type coin.
