<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Topcat7, post: 2541369, member: 73372&quot;]Thanks for that. (I pretty much guessed that the &#039;III&#039; equals &#039;3&#039; and the &#039;V&#039; equals &#039;5&#039;.) Can anyone add to that, Please?</p><p><br /></p><p>I mean, I have never heard of a three cent piece. Why did it come about, and where did it go? Is there a two cent piece and/or a four cent piece? What about a six cent piece?</p><p>Why was there Roman numerals on these coins, when I have an 1863 (Silver) and a 1904 (Silver) one cent coin that don&#039;t have the Roman numeral&nbsp; &#039;I&#039; on it and yet the next year (after 1904) the &#039;V&#039; appears and five years (after 1863) the &#039;III&#039; appears.</p><p>Is there some significance here? Surely there is a story?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
