The Three Cents coin was produced by the United States Mint in two primary types: the Silver Three Cents (1851-1873) and the Nickel Three Cents (1865-1889). The Nickel Three Cents coin, introduced in 1865, was made from a copper-nickel alloy and was designed to address the shortage of small denomination currency during the Civil War. The Philadelphia Mint was the primary source for these coins, with the 1865 Nickel Three Cents being particularly notable for its historical context linked to wartime circulation. Collectors value these coins for their unique design, historical significance, and varying mintage figures.
