All 1852 3¢ pieces were struck in silver. Numismedia lists the following approximate retail values as of 04/2012:

Very worn condition - $26

Moderately worn - $48

Slightly worn - $56

Almost no wear - $144

Uncirculated - $192 to $5,430 depending on quality

Nickel 3¢ coins were also issued starting in 1865. This unusual denomination was created to help with change-making, in particular because the price of a first-class stamp was 3 cents for many years.

DISCLAIMER: The retail values quoted are the best available as of the date shown, but may vary significantly due to changes in the precious metals market. Also the wholesale (buying) price of a coin will be less than the selling (retail) price. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.
