Best Answer

There were 2 varieties of 3¢ piece minted that year. One is scarce, the other is not.

If it has a star on one side and the Roman numeral III inside a large "C" on the other, it's the rarer silver coin. As of 09/2008, retail values are:

$335 in worn condition

$400 with moderate wear

$510 with almost no wear

If it has Miss Liberty on one side and the Roman numeral III inside a wreath on the other, it's the more common nickel coin. Values are $15 / $22 / $40

This unusual denomination was minted primarily to facilitate buying postage stamps, which cost 3¢ at that time.
