1873 - Coins

The Silver Three Cents Type 1, issued in 1873, is part of a series of coins produced by the United States Mint from 1851 to 1873. This particular type features a distinctive design including a large "3" surrounded by a wreath on the obverse and a simple shield with the word "ONE" above it on the reverse. Made of a silver-copper alloy, the Type 1 primarily served as a means for small transactions, particularly in the context of rising prices post-Civil War. Collectors often seek this coin for its historical significance, unique design elements, and as part of the broader narrative of U.S. numismatics during the 19th century.
