1854 THREE CENT SILVER NGC XF 40 APPEALING NATURAL MEDIUM GREY WITH A COUPLE OF TINY OBVERSE CUTS AS OLD AS THE COIN ITSELF. An excellent example of the much scarcer Type 2 Variety of "Trimes", minted from 1854 through 1858. Just 4,913,700 business strikes of the Type 2 were ever produced. Compounding the scarcity would be the diminutive nature of this tiny coin, so prone to loss or damage.
