lucidfind Valued Member United States 203 Posts	Posted 03/26/2025 1:54 pm I have been looking to obtain a Trime, and this one showed up at the LCS, it is very worn, but I am stoked to finally add one to the collection. Report this Post to the Staff

Maine Member Valued Member United States 450 Posts	Posted 03/26/2025 2:13 pm Congrats lucidfind. I too like these kind of odd denominations. Half Cents, Two Cents and Three Cent pieces. It is cool explaining these denominations to younger numismatists to be. A history lesson indeed. Report this Post to the Staff
HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24918 Posts	Posted 03/26/2025 2:13 pm Nice addition, lucidfind! Actually it's not all that worn - it looks pretty good to me. These coins were plagued with weak strikes. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2001 Posts	Posted 03/26/2025 10:52 pm I remember back in the late 1960's when you could find loads of these in the junk bin at the LCS. Most of them were holed for charm bracelets. Report this Post to the Staff

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10478 Posts	Posted 03/27/2025 01:51 am I like collecting 3 Cent Silvers, great addition! One of the more highly produced years at 11.4 million but still very nice! Report this Post to the Staff
