Description

1873 Two Cent Open 3 PR64 Red and Brown NGC. Two cent pieces were only struck in proof format in 1873. The present coin is a Choice example of this scarce, proof-only issue. All of the Open 3 coins were struck late in the year and are considered restrikes. Only 500 Open 3 proofs were struck, and the variety is much scarcer than its Closed 3 counterpart. The present coin is sharply struck, with intermingled golden-brown and red surfaces. Census: 18 in 64 Red and Brown, 29 finer (3/10).
