The 3 Cent Silver coin, also known as the 3cS, was minted in the United States from 1851 to 1873. The 1873 issue produced at the Philadelphia Mint is particularly notable as it marks the final year of this denomination. Constructed primarily of silver, the coin was created to facilitate small transactions, especially during periods of high inflation. Its unique size and rarity make it a desirable piece for collectors focusing on U.S. coins from that era.
