2c, 3c & 20c PIECES

The obsolete denominations are underappreciated in today's market.  This could be an opportunity for the astute collector.  Silver three cent pieces are often called "trimes" which makes me believe that nickel three cent pieces should be called "trickels".  Both series have their share of tough dates and varieties, especially the 1852 over inverted date trime and the 1887/6 business strike "trickel" (one for sale below!).  We have several 20c pieces including the scarce 1875-CC and 1876.

2c PIECES
Image	Description	Price
	1868 2c piece PCGS PR64RB.  We recently acquired this coin, and it is a match for the 1871 2c piece below, with this coin having bright red on both sides!  The coin is nicer than the picture.  Come see one or both of these coins at a show and you will see what I am talking about.	$2,500  Quantity:
	1871 2c piece PCGS PR64RB.  The coin is the brightest red 2c piece I have ever seen.  No one who has seen this coin at any show has seen any brown on it anywhere.  Again, the coin is gorgeous bright red on both sides!  It's difficult to believe but the coin is nicer than the picture.  Expensive but well worth it if you want a super coin.	$2,500  Quantity:
