I was sorting through a collection of old silver dimes for a relative who had collected over 600 of them. The oldest of the coins was this 1870 coin. Wow, I thought! I have never seen such an old dime. On the reverse side it has a large Roman number III. After a little web search I discovered that this coin is not a dime at all. It is a Nickel Three Cent piece. Hmmmm, not being a coin collector, I certainly had never heard of such a thing. Interesting history this Three Cent Nickel. It was originally designed when postage dropped from five cents to three cents and folks wanted an easy-to-handle, small denomination coin.
