The Three Cents coin, minted in the United States from 1851 to 1889, was produced in two primary types: the silver Three Cents (also known as the "Trime") and the Nickel Three Cents. The silver version, featuring an intricate design, was composed of 75% silver and 25% copper, while the Nickel Three Cents, minted from 1865 to 1889, was made from a nickel-copper alloy to help reduce costs. The Nickel Three Cents coin was primarily implemented to facilitate transactions during the post-Civil War economic landscape, and both types are considered collectible due to their unique history and rarity, particularly in uncirculated condition.
