The Silver Three Cents Type 1 coin, minted in 1865, is part of a series of three-cent pieces produced by the United States government. This type features a distinctive design with a seated Liberty on the obverse and a small, ornate shield on the reverse, set within a circular wreath. The coin was primarily issued to facilitate transactions during the Civil War, when coin shortages were common. Due to its limited mintage and historical significance, the 1865 Silver Three Cents Type 1 is a sought-after collectible among numismatists.
