Description

1873 Two Cent, PR66 Red
Sharp Closed 3 Coin

1873 2C Closed 3 PR66 Red NGC. Among the finest NGC-certified Red examples of this final-year proof, with only a pair of Red Cameos arguably finer (6/21). Reflective fields and sharp devices complement the rich copper-red color on each side. A small speck on the left edge of the shield and another in the right wreath branch serve as pedigree markers. Many numismatists attribute Open 3 1873 proofs as restrikes, but the Closed 3 coins are universally recognized as original proofs. Census: 7 in 66 Red, 0 finer; 2 in 66 Red Cameo, 0 finer (6/21).(Registry values: N2998)
