cipster Pillar of the Community United States 2362 Posts	Posted 10/20/2011 09:30 am Nice Three Cent Silvers everyone! I only have three coins to submit for the next 16 days so I'll sit by and enjoy the show. I'm also confident that with only three coins I can still win the ugly coin prize in this category.

CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 10/20/2011 10:07 am I was going to save this for one of the later dates, but it's clearly a type one. 1852 is as good as guess as any. Report this Post to the Staff
matthewpj73 Valued Member United States 187 Posts	Posted 10/20/2011 11:08 am -->captainfwiffo--> I like that the dies are slightly rotated so that you can tell which side of the "pendant" was to be displayed when this was worn as a necklace. Interesting that the reverse was meant to be shown, I would have assumed the star would be the focal point of any jewelry made from the silver Three Cent pieces.

CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 10/20/2011 11:24 am I've heard that a lot of these were kept on a wire or string in order to keep track of them because they were so small, rather than for use as jewelry. Rather than having them loose in your pocket, you'd have them on a string so they wouldn't get lost. Sorta like a coin purse, I guess. The notion about the rotated dies hadn't actually occurred to me. If it had, I would have left one of the sides rotated in the image to show the rotation.

matthewpj73 Valued Member United States 187 Posts	Posted 10/20/2011 11:34 am I didn't know they were kept on string/wire like that, but it makes sense...thank you for that bit of info. Also, I was looking at the coin again, and I might be imagining it, but it looks like there is a die clash, I think I can see shield to the right of the last roman numeral one...

grancap74 Valued Member United States 289 Posts	Posted 10/20/2011 11:39 am At least now I have something to post here. I've had difficulties working on the photos, never took some of this small of a coin. I remember when I received our collection, my grandfather had put this into the "token" bag with bus tokens and the like. Unfortunately, this is our only one for here. I will always think that these coins for this topic are the most interesting in our history and I get envious looking through the pictures. Report this Post to the Staff
