coins \ Coin \ United States of America \ 3cS \ 3-Cent Silver \ 1856
The 3 Cent Silver coin, also known as the 3cS, was minted in the United States from 1851 to 1873. The 1856 edition holds particular interest among collectors due to its mintage of just over 1.2 million coins, making it one of the more available dates in the series. Made of 90% silver and 10% copper, the coin features a unique design, with a representation of Liberty on the obverse and a laurel wreath on the reverse. Collectors value these coins for their historical significance and the distinct denomination that reflects the inflationary pressures of the time.
