1853 3 Cent coin 

The 1853 Silver Three-Cent Piece is one of the most sought-after collector coins nowadays because there are so precious few available. Not only was this coin produced well over 150 years ago, it was produced in limited quantities for a limited period of time. As an extension of this, there are only a few of these coins remaining on the market today. Understanding all of this, it makes sense that there has never been a better time to get your hands on one.

On the obverse side of the coin, the first thing you will notice is the simplicity of the coin’s design. In the center of the coin is the shield of the United States as it existed at the time. The shield exists within a 6-pointed star. Around the outer edge of the obverse there is an inscription that reads “United States of America.” Finally, the 1853 year of minting is inscribed towards the bottom of the obverse.

The reverse side of the coin is just as interesting as the obverse, and in the center features the coin’s 3-cent face value. What must be mentioned about the face value is that it exists as Roman Numerals, and sits within a large, fancy letter “C.” Around the outside of the central imagery you will find 13 individual stars, each one representing one of the original 13 colonies of the United States.

Please pay through online option if at all possible.
