The 3 Cent Silver coin, minted from 1851 to 1873, was created in response to the increased demand for small denomination coins in the United States. The 1855 issue features the obverse with a liberty head and the reverse displaying a Roman numeral "III," indicating its value. This coin was minted in 90% silver, making it a collectible item due to its historical significance and the relatively low mintage numbers for certain years, including 1855.
