Those are cool little coins. Did you have a question about your coin or coin collecting in general?

Its hard to value your coin without pictures or at least a detailed description but its probably worth very roughly $40 depending on exactly what condition its in.   05-06-2008, 09:09 PM   #5 (permalink) rzage What Goes Around Comes A     Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Chicago Posts: 5,559 My Mood: Hey David 3 cent pieces are great coins,especialy the silver ones like yours,keep collecting & have fun,if you have any questions just ask, the members here are pretty knowledgeable and always willing to help. rzage   05-07-2008, 07:06 PM   #6 (permalink) Mark Feld Rare coin dealer     Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: San Diego Posts: 1,744 Quote: Originally Posted by Jonathon Welcome to coin talk David!

Actually, without an image, we have no idea what the piece is worth, based merely upon a description of "very good". "Very good" might not be the condition of the coin in numismatic terms.   05-07-2008, 10:16 PM   #7 (permalink) Jonathon Senior Member     Join Date: Apr 2008 Posts: 217 Quote: Originally Posted by Mark Feld Actually, without an image, we have no idea what the piece is worth, based merely upon a description of "very good".

Very true but he didn't say "graded very good" so I just automatically assume that by "very good condition" its around VF to XF.   05-07-2008, 10:19 PM   #8 (permalink) Mark Feld Rare coin dealer     Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: San Diego Posts: 1,744 Quote: Originally Posted by Jonathon Very true but he didn't say "graded very good" so I just automatically assume that by "very good condition" its around VF to XF. Perhaps it is. But maybe it's Fine, or AU or deeply/darkly toned unc. - we just don't have any way of knowing at this point.   05-07-2008, 10:28 PM   #9 (permalink) Jonathon Senior Member     Join Date: Apr 2008 Posts: 217 Yep.
