Anyhow I had to share some pics of the 1852 Three Cent Silver that I found in the bag. Its my first 3 cent silver and I paid 5 cents for it. Not bad huh??? Ive always wanted one of these. .   02-26-2008, 04:44 PM   #2 (permalink) Leadfoot Numismatist     Join Date: Apr 2005 Posts: 5,620 My Mood: Cool find!

And some of the other indians were better dates. But I bought the bag hoping for early better date wheaties and I was happy with what I found there too. It was a nice bag.   02-26-2008, 05:00 PM   #5 (permalink) clembo A closed mind is no mind     Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Southern tip of that big pond known as Lake Michigan.

You probably know this, but for anyone who doesn't the nickname of the 3-cent silver piece was "fish scales" because of their small size and how thin they are.   02-26-2008, 05:00 PM   #7 (permalink) dreamer94 Coin Collector     Join Date: Sep 2006 Posts: 1,429 Nice find!
