coins \ Coin \ United States of America \ 3¢ (Three Cents) \ Silver Three Cents (Type 1)
The Silver Three Cents Type 1 coin was minted in the United States from 1851 to 1853. It features a design by Chief Engraver James B. Longacre and showcases a wreath on the reverse side, symbolizing commerce and prosperity. These coins are composed of 75% silver and 25% copper, and their small size made them a unique and intriguing part of U.S. coinage history. The Type 1 version is distinguished by its initial appearance and the absence of the word "CENTS" on the reverse.
