Description

This is an 1858 Silver Three-Cent Piece, often referred to as a 'trime.' The obverse features a large six-pointed star with the Union Shield at its center, encircled by 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' and the date '1858' below. The reverse displays the Roman numeral 'III' within a stylized 'C', surrounded by a wreath of an olive sprig and arrows. This coin is a Type II, minted from 1854 to 1858, and is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper. The coin has been graded as G (Good). Heavy, dark toning is present across both sides, along with significant wear that is consistent with its grade.
