rjkingston Pillar of the Community United States 642 Posts	Posted 04/09/2011 10:22 am wasn't big on 3 cent pieces before, but now I'm hooked ! Here are some of my 3-Cent finds from the 19th Century lot I got in yesterday. Grading opinions, and is that a major die break / crack on the obverse of the second one?

You found these in the 19th Century and you just got them in yesterday? Who was the carrier, Pony Express? J/K. That's a die crack. Oh, but it's a biggie! As you continue to experience these, you'll see, many of them are cracked, here and there, that's pretty common. Report this Post to the Staff

Darth Anarchus Pillar of the Community United States 1388 Posts	Posted 04/09/2011 5:13 pm That's quite a beautiful lot And if that die crack was any bigger, it would have turned into the mother of all Cuds'... Report this Post to the Staff
rjkingston Pillar of the Community United States 642 Posts	Posted 04/09/2011 5:24 pm Quote: SDcoinguy: I would love to see your entire 3 cent collection This is pretty much it These are mostly common date 3C's and they replace the 2 nickel 3Cs I had before So I went from 2 to 13. And one will go to upgrade my 7070. Quote: you said you have a piece from every date and mm? That's what I'm trying for it. I've got a lot left to go....the hardest ones left to go I might add. When I post my count of unique pieces in my collection, I consider a piece unique for date, mm, type, and major die variety. Report this Post to the Staff
Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 04/09/2011 6:51 pm NICE, NICE, NICE! I'm a HUGE fan of the Nickel 3 Centers! And talk about you getting an instant collection! Wow! The 3 Cent Nickel is just a great design and a unique part of our US numismatic heritage. I loved it when I told my kids about the US's "3 cent nickel". They looked at me like I was completely mental! (How can a "nickel" that's worth 5 Cents be only 3 cents?) And then I laughed! And then showed them the coins...
