Description
Desirable 1873 Closed 3 Two Cent
PR66 Red and Brown
1873 2C Closed 3 PR66 Red and Brown PCGS. 1873 was the last
year of the short-lived two cent piece series, and this final issue
was proof-only. A closed 3 indicates that this piece was an
original, according to Breen, while an open 3 means it is a
restrike, probably struck years later. Delightful
mahogany-patinated centers are surrounded by areas of original red
in the periphery. This piece is fully struck, as one would expect
from a proof, and shows no visible marks. A mere 600 proofs were
struck.(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2753, PCGS# 3652, GSID# 2758)
