1852 3 cent silver piece. One of my favorite coins that I own. I hope my pictures are good enough, but what do you fellas think about it? And if I were to get it graded what would your guess be for the grade?

I’m thinking it’s about a 45 or so

I like it, the patina brings out the details nicely. Is that a coin for the 7070 album?

A cool coin.
very nice, have never seen one
35 or so to my eye.
Probably not worth getting graded due to the costs.
FLATTEN THOSE STAPLES!

vegas, baby!
I like it. It’s a fun little coin and yours is nicely circulated. I used to think the trime was the smallest diameter regular issue US coin, but that honor goes to the type 1 gold dollar (14mm vs. 13mm). Thanks for sharing.
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
Mine slide around and get "lost" in that album!

You have a very nice circulated coins with a nice honest look. But to your question of should you have it graded, the answer is a question of "why have it graded" Your coin is not very valuable and slabbing it will not add any value to the coin, so unless you have concerns about its authenticity (seems unlikely from the photos) there is no logical reason to waste the monies on grading fees. Instead use those funds to buy another nice coin and spend $1 or so for a nice Kointain capsule to protect this coin.
Just because you can have a coin slabbed does not equal good idea.

I think it looks nice, but wonder why you might want it graded. It might be "worth" $100-$200 (more or less) and certification at PCGS would burn through $20 or more. I like it and would suggest that you enjoy it raw.

Nice circulated condition. My second favorite classic coin design after the Flying Eagle Cent!

thank you guys, not going to grade it but glad to hear that its most likely authentic

You should add that to the start of a type set or a short set of silver three cent pieces. It's a nice coin for the grade.

Heres my 3 cent nickel as well. Technically both are still legal tender. Though i wouldn’t want to spend them lol.

Neat little coin, they're tough to find not bent due to their thinnest.
