Literature

The United States three-cent piece underwent a major transition between 1859 and 1865. The Civil War caused the public to hoard silver coins, leading Congress to pass the Coinage Act of 1865 on March 3, 1865. This act introduced the new copper-nickel three-cent coin designed by James Barton Longacre
