Description
1873 Two Cent, PR65 Red and Brown
'Original' Closed 3 Type
1873 2C Closed 3 PR65 Red and Brown PCGS. According to
Breen's Proof Encyclopedia, "It is probable that some of the
unsold originals [Closed 3] were melted after April 1, 1873 when
the new Coinage Act became effective, abolishing the denomination
and changing weights of silver coins." Amber and golden-brown
surfaces maintain considerable coppery color, explaining the
designation. Violet accents also appear over flashy fields and
expectedly sharp devices on this Gem two cent proof.(Registry values: N1793)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2753, PCGS# 3652, GSID# 2758)
