Description
1873 Closed 3 Two Cent, PR65 Brown
Some Mint Red Remains
1873 2C Closed 3 PR65 Brown NGC. It is possible that some
1873 Closed 3 proofs were melted as unsold when April 1 arrived,
and with it the mandate to switch to the Open 3 design. This Gem
example avoided the melting pot, and instead was well-preserved by
careful hands. An overlay of bluish-brown patina allows faint
glimpses of Mint red to survive and embellish the sharply struck
surfaces. All Closed 3 proofs are considered "originals," while the
1873 Open 3 proofs are so-called restrikes. Census (Closed 3): 15
in 65 Brown, 9 finer (9/17).(Registry values: N1793)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2753, PCGS# 3651, Greysheet# 2757)
Weight: 6.22 grams
Metal: 95% Copper, 5% Tin & zinc
