Description
1873 Two-Cent Piece. Open 3. Proof-63 BN (PCGS). CAC.
Richly original antique copper-brown surfaces are smooth, inviting, and suggestive of a higher Choice Proof grade. This is the more elusive of the two date logotypes of the final year Proof-only 1873 two-cent piece; survivors are approximately two and a half times rarer than their Close 3 counterparts. Traditional numismatic wisdom has it that the Close 3 examples are originals and the Open 3 specimens restrikes, although there is no documentary evidence to support this theory. The premium Choice Proof-63 specimen offered here is worthy of strong bids.
PCGS# 3654. NGC ID: 2754.
