The 3 Cent Silver coin, minted from 1851 to 1873, was produced by the United States Mint to ease transactions in the growing economy. The 1871 issue is particularly notable among collectors due to its relatively low mintage and status as a date with specific variation in mint marks. These coins are composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, making them an attractive option for numismatists and those interested in silver content. The design features a unique three-pointed star, which distinguishes it from other silver coins of the era.
