billjones Pillar of the Community United States 1499 Posts	Posted 04/25/2016 1:13 pm A lot of collectors don't seem to like little coins, but I've enjoyed them since my days in elementary school. My first Silver Three Cent Piece was a 1851 that graded Fine in those days. It would be a VF today. I bought it from a lady who said she found in a field while she was plowing. It was in surprising good shape given the source. I could be believe how small and light that coins was. At any rate here is the piece that currently fills the Type I hole in my type set. What grade would you give it? Report this Post to the Staff

bpoc1 Rest in Peace United States 4078 Posts	Posted 04/25/2016 4:18 pm Wow! I have a love/hate relation to the "trime." This coin sparked my interest after inheriting some coins. MS-60 to be safe. Not sure of the rims reverse 11.00 to 1:00 Report this Post to the Staff

Alan Pillar of the Community Canada 1463 Posts	Posted 04/25/2016 10:50 pm I'll say 65 with a notable die clash seen on the inside of the "C" to the left of the "III" Report this Post to the Staff

billjones Pillar of the Community United States 1499 Posts	Posted 04/26/2016 08:53 am I guess this one threw you a curve ball. PCGS graded this 1852 trime as an MS-66. It has original surfaces and good luster for the type. It about the best I've seen for one of these coins which was made from only 75% silver and 25% copper. That often results in unattractive toning. Report this Post to the Staff
