@Halfamind Can I understood as the government began to prepare for the csating of Three Cent neickel.And melting them didn't bring much benefit? I really didn't catch a sight of Three Cent Silver after 1862 today! And I've bought a 1852 online!Yeah! |

@wan — enjoy your 3 cent coins — a great piece of history. It is human nature to hoard precious metals in times of war and crisis, even though it would take more than 40 of the tiny silver Three Cent coins to make one ounce of silver. |

I really like those Three Cent Nickels, I'd do a set except the 1885 looks pretty daunting! |

I also think the extremely small size of the Three Cent Silver pieces made them a lot less popular. I prefer the Three Cent Nickel too--you can get gorgeous proof ones for not so much money! |

@halfamind Good morning!1865 is a civil war year.And this makes this coin more hitoric.The silver one is rquite smal.No wonder these small silver pieces have been preserved.
Thank you!

@Icutler Good morining! Since 1889,there are no more Three Cent.I I found after 1883 they are quite expensive,especially 1885.They are real gems. |

The 1885 one is quite scarce and valuable as a business/circulation strike. This being said, the proofs are not expensive. If you want to collect the series, you can do so by getting the proof 1885 at a very reasonable price for a gem proof. I only have one Three Cent Nickel myself--an 1878 one. It is a low mintage, proof only year, but the survival rate is really high, so they aren't even that valuable. |

@Slerk You mean people diden't want to spend their silver and gold coins? Yes, people were hoarding silver and gold. Put yourself in the place of a person who finds himself in a country that is immersed in war, you do not know what will happen tomorrow and whether you will be able to buy food for yourself with the money that is in your pocket. But if you have silver or gold in your pocket, you are sure that you will be able to purchase the goods that you need |

The Three Cent Silver, and later the $3.00 Gold and by default the 3CN, were issued to buy Postage Stamps |
