All 3 cent pieces issued by the US Mint had dates. If yours is worn so the date is not on it anymore then you will have to be know whether it is a silver 3 cent or a nickel 3 cent. The nickel 3 cent is about the size of a dime and the silver 3 cent is smaller than a dime. Without a date the value of these coins would be about $1-$2 for the silver 3 cent and about 25-50 cents for the nickel 3 cent.

One had an "open" 3 which means the top and bottom of the 3 do not meet on the left side of the number and the "closed" 3 which means the top and bottom of the 3 do meet on the left side of the coin. All of these 3 cent pieces were minted in the Philadelphia mint facility.
