You never know what you’re going to find until you dig it up. I thought I was about to dig another button. (18) on the NOX usually is. However, that all changed when I saw this little guy pop out. Sure looks like an early drop.

Enjoy!

HISTORY OF THE TRIME - this smallest of United States silver coins, called the trime by the treasury department, was authorized by Congress March 3, 1851. The first three-cent silver pieces had the lions bordering the six pointed star. From 1854 through 1858 they were two lines, while issues of the final 15 years she’ll only one line. Issues from 1854 through 1873 had an olive sprig over the III and a bundle of three arrows beneath. Nearly the entire production of non-proof coins from 1863 to 1872 was melted in 1873.
