America's Only Three-Cent Coins
Both versions of one of America’s most rarely seen coin denominations…
• America’s original three-cent piece, struck in 75-90% silver from 1851 to 1873.
• The nickel three-cent piece, issued only from 1865 to 1889.
• Both obsolete coins—not seen in circulation for more than 130 years—were designed by U.S. Mint engraver James B. Longacre, best known for his iconic Indian Head Penny.
• Most were melted for the precious silver in the 1800’s, or destroyed by the U.S. Treasury when they became obsolete, leaving just a fraction for today’s collectors.
• Each coin is in gently circulated condition and is sealed in a protective holder.
• Accompanied by a deluxe wooden Display Chest (measuring 5" x 1½" x 4¾"), complete with a wooden insert that flips up for better viewing of the historic coins.
• Comes with an expertly written Collector’s Guide, filled with fascinating information about the history and designs of three-cent pieces.
• Guarantee of Satisfaction: Free returns for replacement or full refund.
