Designed by James B. Longacre and struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this coin belongs to a short-lived series produced from 1854 to 1889. It was an unusual denomination conceived partly to facilitate the purchase of sheets of postage stamps (100 three-cent stamps for $3) and to complement the small silver three-cent coins in circulation at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"478\" data-start=\"261\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"272\" data-start=\"261\"\u003e\u003cspan
