Closed 3 1873 Two Cent Piece, PR65 Red and Brown

1873 2C Closed 3 PR65 Red and Brown NGC. CAC. The 1873 Closed 3 is a scarce proof-only issue with an estimated mintage of only 600 pieces. Without looking at the 3 in the date, the Closed 3 is easily discernable from its Open 3 counterpart by the strength and completeness of the horizontal shield lines. For a Red and Brown coin there is very little brown to be seen here. Most of the original red remains on each side. The fields are moderately reflective and the only mark worthy of mention is a short, horizontal planchet depression to the right of the lowest part of the 2 on the reverse.(Registry values: N1793)
