Starting a new collection.....

For years I've been working on solely half dimes and I'm down to the tough to find varieties.....
So to entertain myself until they come along, I'm starting on 3¢ Silver Trimes. I've always been attracted to our small silver coinage because I love how intricate the designs are. I'm not going to go crazy, I'm just going to assemble a simple, low cost date set..... At least that's my current intention.... LOL...
So to kick it off, I picked up this well worn but lovable PCGS G06 example today:
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

I’ve always thought those were cool. I agree, having a side interest can really help keep one patient in the core collection.
Ms70, one of the first coins I ever had in my collection was a 3 cent piece. Don't know where it came from. 1853. I showed it to my cousin. I never saw it again. Last I heard he was working in a muffler shop in Gardnerville , Nevada and his wife was doing time in the state pen for God only knows what. You get what you deserve. He got his.
You will have a lot fun with this happy coin @ms70
I like the moon......simple innocent reverse make me happy just to look at it 

It reminds me of Dream Works logo I am fond of....HAPPY collecting
Well that's a road less traveled, for sure.
You may quickly discover (or already realize) that a handful of dates are common, many others less so, and most of the later dates almost impossible.
If forum member/dealer Scarsdale doesn't see this thread, please contact him directly.
He is one of the few specialists (at least that I know of) in this series, and I'm sure you can learn a lot from him. And he always has candy at his table at shows
I have had a late developing interest in these coins... I do not have any yet, but intend to look at them for potential acquisition.... Cheers, RickO
