Can I be somewhat tacky and display my ONLY 3 cent denomination of anything I have in any of my collections? That's it !!
My best 3cS so far. PCGS PR63 And my best 3cN. PCGS PR65 CAM And then the runners-up... ... but those are all "bygones". This one, however, is in my present collection. It is a much less expensive coin than any of the ones above, but as you see, it still has plenty of eye appeal.
Yes, you're a new member of the 3-Cent Club, now! Here she is again, in my hasty cellphone pictures from the other day. Let me know when you get her. I think I see evidence of die clashing on the obverse, below Liberty's hair bow. Looks like it might be the impression of one of the I's (from the Roman numeral III on the reverse die), perhaps. I don't know for sure. Clashed dies are relatively common on this type, in any event.
I found an 1852 while detecting in Charleston S.C. 2 years ago. It was the best find of that trip. It was about a foot deep. I like to have never found it, that’s why you never give up.
