THIS 3 CENT PIECE IS AN ALL ORIGINAL NICE COIN WITH AWESOME DETAIL, FULL LIBERTY ON THE CROWN, AND A FULL RIM (SEE PIC'S). ON THE REVERSE ON THE ROMAN NUMERALS, ALL THE LITTLE LINES ARE STILL PRESENT! THIS IS NEAR MINT STATE, REALLY NICE COIN!! FACTS: The original purpose of the Three Cents coins to provide an intermediate denomination between the Cent and Half Dime, making it easier to change some of the odd foreign coins that were legal tender in America at that time. These tiny coins were known officially as "Trimes" and unofficially as "fish scales." SPECIFICATIONS: Designer: James Barton Longacre Diameter: 17.9 millimeters Metal content: Nickel - 25% Copper - 75% Weight: 30 grains (1.9 grams) Edge: Plain Mintmark: None (all dates of this type were struck at the Philadelphia, PA Mint)
