coins \ Coin \ United States of America \ 3¢ (Three Cents) \ Nickel Three Cents \ 1880 \ Philadelphia
The Three Cents coin was introduced in the United States in 1851, created to facilitate small transactions and counter the impact of the Gold Rush on the dollar's value. The Nickel Three Cents coin, made from a nickel-copper alloy, was minted from 1865 to 1889. The 1880 Philadelphia Mint issue is notable for its relatively high mintage but still can be found in various conditions, which affects its collectible value. Collectors often seek these coins for their historical significance and unique design features, including Lady Liberty depicted on the obverse.
