Description
Near-Pristine 1873 Open 3 Two Cent
Rare Restrike, PR64 Red and Brown
1873 2C Open 3 PR64 Red and Brown PCGS. The last two cent
issue, one of several denominations abolished under the "Crime of
'73." The Open 3 two cents are much rarer than their Closed 3
counterpart and are considered restrikes. Breen's Proof
Encyclopedia opines that only one is seen for every nine or 10
of the Closed 3s. The clearest diagnostic, besides the numeral
difference, is the here-obvious die line running horizontally from
the left base of the T in TRUST. The lustrous surfaces are
primarily orange-red, with brown device high points. There is
little obvious carbon, although a tick appears in the lower wreath
on the reverse. Population: 56 in 64 Red and Brown, 18 finer
(7/10).(Registry values: N1793)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2754, PCGS# 3655, GSID# 2761)
