The Three Cents, also known as the Trime, is a denomination that was issued by the United States Mint from 1851 to 1889. The Nickel Three Cents was introduced in 1865 and was composed of a nickel-copper alloy, differing from the earlier silver versions. The 1870 Nickel Three Cents is notable for its relatively low mintage, making it a sought-after collectible for numismatists. Collectors value this coin for its unique design featuring a prominent "III" on the obverse and its historical context during a period of transition for U.S. currency.
