Struck in .750 fine silver, these coins were introduced in 1851 to help facilitate small transactions during a time when silver shortages and postage rate changes impacted everyday commerce. With a unique star design on the obverse and a Roman numeral III on the reverse, the Trime is a fascinating and affordable entry into early U.S. coinage.
