1851 Three Cent Silver (3CS)

The 1851 three-cent silver piece, or "trime," marks the inaugural year of this unique and fascinating series, introduced to address the need for small change and facilitate the purchase of postage stamps.

This coin, graded MS66 by PCGS and adorned with a CAC sticker, showcases stunning, original surfaces with bright luster and vibrant pastel toning. The strike is sharp, with clearly defined design details on both the obverse and reverse. Its attractive patina and smooth surfaces make it an example with remarkable eye appeal. A true superb gem.
