At a mintage of over 18.6 million, the 1852 is the highest for the Three Cent Silver Series making it the ultimate type coin. Extremely common through MS65, with 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.
