Status: Sold

This is an 1853 Three Cent Silver coin, often referred to as a "trime." Struck from 75% silver, these coins were introduced to streamline small transactions during the mid-19th century. This particular example bears the iconic six-pointed star on the obverse, while the reverse features the Roman numeral III within a laurel wreath. Housed in a clear protective holder, the coin offers a glimpse into a key period in U.S. numismatic history.
