1852 (1) U.S Silver Three-Cents
- 1852-Type I
The 1852 Silver Three-Cent Piece Is A Coin That Any Serious Collector Will Go To Great Lengths To Get Their Hands On. The Reason For This Is Because The Coin In Question Is One Of The Most Interesting Pieces Ever Produced By The US Mint. It Was Only Minted For A Short Period Of Time And Lays Claim To The Title As Being The Lightest Coin Ever Produced By The Mint. With All Of This Being Said, The Limited Quantity Of These Coins Having Been Produced Combined With The Fact They There Are Fewer Available All The Time Means That Now Is As Good A Time As Ever To Get Your Hands On One.
On The Obverse Side Of The Three-Cent Piece, You Will Find In The Center The Shield Of The United States Within A 6-pointed Star. The Shield Is Quite Small, And That Is Impressive For No Other Reason Than The Technology Of The Time Was Crude. Around The Outside Of The Central Imagery You Will Find An Inscription That Reads “United States Of America.” On The Bottom Part Of The Obverse, You Will Also Notice The 1852 Year Of Minting Inscribed.
The Reverse Side Of The Coin Is Interesting For A Few Different Reasons. In The Very Center, You Will See The Coin’s 3-cent Face Value Marked By A Roman Numeral 3. The 3-cent Face Value Exists Within A Large “C,” And Around The Outside Of That There Are 13 Stars. These 13 Stars Are Representative Of The 13 Original Colonies Of The United States.
