I'm not sure whether the three cent silver and three cent nickel need seperate pages or not. They were not seperate denominations, like the half dime and the nickel were. The three cent pieces are odd ducks.Brian Schlosser42 21:19, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)


What postal rate changes in 1889? First-class was still three cents as far as I know. Stan 05:49, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)


Just added some images. They seem to work better side by side; with a separate entry under obverse/reverse/obverse/reverse the table is too long. Should the size of the silver images be proportionally smaller to the nickel, to keep the scale? Splarka 06:27, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] current value?

It would be nice to see some indication of how much this coin is worth today (to collectors, I mean, not its legal value, which I suppose is still just three cents). --Trovatore 21:10, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

They range anywhere from $14-$28 dollars low grade, to $485-over $3000 for up to proof grades. I'll see if I can find a good site for price listings, but those things change and range way to much for use to put them on every type of coin in wikipedia. Joe I 21:23, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
