The Silver Three Cents Type 1 coin, issued by the United States in 1864, features a design that showcases the Roman numeral "III" on the obverse, surrounded by a wreath. This type of coin was produced to facilitate small transactions during the Civil War when silver was scarce. The Type 1 designation refers specifically to the design used from 1851 until 1873, which includes the unique placement of the design elements. The 1864 version is particularly notable for its relatively low mintage and is sought after by collectors.
