1873 Closed 3 Two Cent Piece
PR66 Red and Brown

1873 2C Closed 3 PR66 Red and Brown NGC. Ex: Hilt Collection. A scarce proof-only date, the 1873 comes in two varieties. Specimens with a Closed 3 in the date are regarded as originals, while those with an Open 3 logotype are considered restrikes. It is possible, though, that the Open 3 pieces were also struck in 1873. The present Closed 3 Premium Gem has peach-gold, cherry-red, and olive-green surfaces. The strike is intricate and no carbon is perceptible. Census: 40 in 66 (1 in 66 ) Red and Brown, 2 finer (10/16).
