June, 1917

Back in 1917 that pile of change was hard earned and every cent counted. Today, many countries such as Canada are discontinuing (or have discontinued) the cent because it has too little buying power. I suppose that's what happens when you mix aging infrastructure, careless spending, and trillions of dollars of debt and that's only in America. Anyway the picture above is some coins that are all dated before 1917 on top of a June, 1917 issue of the National Geographic Magazine shown in the video below. Most of them have been posted about and the ones that haven't are listed below.

Worn Down to Nothing (almost) Trime Version!

 This is an 1852 silver three cent piece or trime as they were called back in the day. Back in the mid 1800's a stamp only cost  three cents which is the reason for this seldom seen coin and three dollar coins which were used to buy sheets of 100. There are a few different varieties for this series involving different numbers of lines around the star and an olive sprig above and a bundle of arrows below the III. This date had the highest mintage and is worth about $25.00-$30.00. There was also a copper-nickel version with a different design that was issued because of silver hoarding during and after the Civil War. It was dime sized and not very popular because people would use it as a dime in machines or spend it as a dime in stores. They were soon phased out and not seen plentifully in circulation again.
