Owner's Description

Purchased from Mark Feld 10-19-07 for $800<br /><br />Essentially color-free with highly pleasing satin-like surfaces and a bit more flash than many Type l examples display. Mint-made did striations can be seen on each side when the coin is tilted properly under a good light source. They are not particularly unusual but are mentioned for the sake of accuracy.<br /><br />***********************************<br />1852 THREE CENTS - SILVER<br />***********************************<br /><br />Mintage:<br />Circulation strikes: 18,663,500<br />Proofs: 1 known<br /><br />Designer: James Barton Longacre<br /><br />Diameter: ±14.3 millimeters<br /><br />Metal content:<br />Silver - 75%<br />Copper - 25%<br /><br />Weight: ±12.4 grains (±.8 grams)
