Description
1873 Two Cent, PR64 Brown
Alleged Restrike, Open 3
1873 2C Open 3 PR64 Brown PCGS. CAC. Walter Breen and the
Guide Book call the Open 3 two cent proofs of 1873
restrikes, although it is entirely possible they, too, were made in
1873. Breen exaggerates in his Proof Encyclopedia: "One of
these is seen for every 9 or 10 of the closed 3." In reality, there
is little difference in the availability of the two variants.
Blue-green and amber-gold tones richly color this near-Gem proof.
The diagnostic die line through the base of TR is clear.
Population: 35 in 64 (1 in 64+) Brown, 14 finer in this category.
CAC: 5 in 64, 14 finer (11/17).From The E.B. Strickland Collection. (Registry values: N1793)
