Description
1873 Open 3 Two Cent
Dual-Toned PR66 Red and Brown
1873 2C Open 3 PR66 Red and Brown PCGS. A gorgeous example
of the proof-only Open 3 restrikes, which were believed struck
after the series' official end in 1873. Walter Breen's Proof
Encyclopedia, listing these in its Restrikes and Fantasy Pieces
chapter, comments that "one of these is seen for every 9 or 10" of
the Closed 3 two cents. He also makes the curious comment "Reverse
same as 1872 and closed 3 1873's, or sometimes a different die"
without further elaboration. This piece is largely orange-toned on
the obverse and plum-toned on the reverse, a stunning presentation
with some tinges of blue near the rims on both sides. The strike
and preservation are both top-notch. Population: 20 in 66 (1 in
66+) Red and Brown, 0 finer (1/24).(Registry values: N2998)Selections From The Towers Collection.
