<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 25367709, member: 101855&quot;]Your 1852 Silver Three Cent Piece has the sharpness of an AU. It appears to have original, never dipped or cleaned surfaces which is a big plus. </p><p><br /></p><p>The only downside is the line that is running down from the rim, through the second &quot;T&quot; in &quot;STATES&quot; and into the star and shield. If that is a scratch that is <i>into the coin </i>it would probably prevent the piece from a straight TPG grade. </p><p><br /></p><p>Otherwise, it&#039;s a piece that is very nice for a lightly circulated example. Many of these coins have dark black spots. These pieces were 75% silver and 25% copper. All of the other silver coins from this period were 90% silver and 10% copper. That odd alloy makes a difference. </p><p><br /></p><p>For $70, you got a good deal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
