The Nickel Three Cents coin, also known as the "trime," was struck in the United States from 1865 to 1889. The 1873 edition is a part of this series and features a distinctive design, showcasing a shield on the obverse and a wreath on the reverse. This coin, valued for both its historical significance and low mintage, is particularly sought after by collectors. The denomination was introduced as a response to the rising cost of postage and was utilized primarily in everyday transactions during the late 19th century.
