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.

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.

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

Congrats for the add...
When I first saw one I was amazed at how small it was.

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.

I like collecting 3 Cent Silvers, great addition! One of the more highly produced years at 11.4 million but still very nice!
