Jdford Valued Member United States 362 Posts	Posted 12/11/2021 4:22 pm I like the old school coins. Would like to know your thoughts of this one. What do you think? Mint state? Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34440 Posts	Posted 12/11/2021 5:31 pm @jdf, the trimes are a very cool series, but this one has some pretty severe damage that would likely push me away.

Muscovy59 New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 12/11/2021 8:32 pm I like 3¢ silvers too - for the right price I'd have no problem adding that one to my collection even with the stated damage Report this Post to the Staff
Slerk Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 1557 Posts	Posted 12/12/2021 03:28 am Does it seem to me or does 3 cents have problems with saving? They are mostly bent, leaky and rusty. Report this Post to the Staff

They are thin, tiny and soft. The earlier ones, which use a copper-rich alloy, usually held up a little better. But yes, in general this coin is often found bent. It won't "rust", however, as it has no iron. Well, I suppose some Chinese fakes do. Edited by pristine2 12/12/2021 06:15 am Report this Post to the Staff
