- 1873 Two-Cent Piece. Close 3. Proof-65 RB (NGC). Exquisite surfaces combine original mint color with desirable toning. Largely sable-brown with some extremely vivid gold, pink and apricot hiding the most protected recesses of the design. Fully struck to a high Proof standard and expertly preserved, fully justifying the Gem grade assigned by NGC. This issue is key to completion of a specialized two-cent collection, as the 1873 is a Proof-only coin that comes in two variants. The Close 3, offered here, is believed to be the original issue of the year, with a mintage estimated in the current Guide Bookto be 600 pieces. This is one of the finest extant, and will please even the most discerning numismatist. Provenance: From the Birdwatcher Type Set, with a portion of the proceeds to benefit The Nature Conservancy. PCGS# 3652. NGC ID: 2753. Click here for certification details from NGC.
