The first year of issue for the Three Cent Silver Series, which also happens to be one of the most common issues. This fantastic type coin is extremely common through MS64 with MS65 and MS66 being slightly tougher to find. Only MS67's and better would be considered scarce.
Obverse Description
A six-pointed star with a harp in the center is surrounded by UNITED STATES OF AMERICA on the periphery and the date positioned at the bottom. For the type I issues (1851-53) there is no frame line around the star.
Reverse Description
The roman numeral III is centered in the design ensconced in a large, bejeweled letter C surrounded by 13 stars on the periphery.
