Description
Sharply Struck 1873 Closed 3
Two Cent Piece, PR64 Brown
1873 2C Closed 3 PR64 Brown PCGS. The Closed 3 proof-only
two cent pieces are believed struck in the final year of the
decade-long series from 1864 to 1873, to the extent of 600 coins.
The Open 3 twos are believed to be later restrikes. This Closed 3
near-Gem Brown example actually shows lots of mint orange-red
remaining, alternating with plum throughout. The strike is nearly
full, spots are absent, and the only contact we see is a hair-thin
mark to the right of the date, well-hidden in the patina. A nice
example of this last-year issue.(Registry values: N1793)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2753, PCGS# 3651, GSID# 2757)
