A three cent piece thread

I've accumulated at least a dozen in those grades over the years various ways sold some off no idea what's around this is the only one I actively bought is ms -63 with great color

 

I have 1867 and 1873 3 cent pieces. They're really neat coins and quite the conversation pieces.

 

one of my clashed pieces..

Yikes!

It does look like a crude mockup doesn't it? Hadn't looked at it closely until today.
