Description
1873 Open 3 Two Cent, PR66+ Red
The Finest at PCGS
1873 2C Open 3 PR66+ Red PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. Most two
cent proofs were struck early in the year in 1873. All so-called
originals (an estimated 600 pieces minted) feature the Closed 3.
However, a small number of restrikes were made with an Open 3 in
the date. Walter Breen reported in his Proof Encyclopedia:
"One of these is seen for every 9 or 10 of the closed 3." Today,
the ratio is closer to 1:3 based on certification totals.This Premium Gem has earned both a Plus designation from PCGS and a CAC approval sticker for quality within the grade. Color is a blend of copper-orange and pumpkin-gold with deeper brick-red over the central reverse. The raised devices are lightly frosted, delivering partial contrast against the moderately reflective fields. None graded higher. Population: 6 in 66 (1 in 66+) Red, 0 finer. CAC: 3 in 66, 0 finer (11/20).(Registry values: N4719)
Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2754, PCGS# 3656, Greysheet# 2762)
