Description
1873 Two Cent, PR66 Brown
Proof-Only, Scarce Open 3 Variety
1873 2C Open 3 PR66 Brown PCGS. CAC. The final date of the
two cent series was proof only. Closed 3 proofs are original
strikes, while their Open 3 successors are "alleged restrikes," per
the Guide Book. The Open 3 variety is scarcer, with less
than half as many survivors as the Closed 3. The present Open 3
specimen displays ocean-blue and wheat-brown toning with a blush of
plum-red patina near the left scroll end. The luminous surfaces are
unabraded and show only infrequent trivial carbon, along with a
couple of tiny flan imperfections on the reverse border.
Population: 8 in 66 (1 in 66+) Brown, 0 finer. CAC: 9 in 66, 0
