The 3 Cent Silver coin, also known as the 3cS, was minted in the United States from 1851 to 1873. It was created primarily to facilitate commerce during a time when the price of goods was influenced by the increasing circulation of smaller denominations. The coin is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, featuring a unique design that includes a depiction of the Goddess Liberty on the obverse and a wreath on the reverse. Due to its limited production and unique denomination, the 3 Cent Silver is a sought-after collectible among coin enthusiasts.
