If you don't already own a Red Book I would suggest you buy one and read it at your leisure. They are packed with information, you don't have to buy one every year (heck, I buy one every fifteen-years or so) and they likely cost less than $20 brand spanking new. They are a great resource.
Failing that, you might want to spend a few minutes on the PCGS CoinFacts site.

giantsfan20, please stop insulting gabe9991. I see nothing in the Forum Rules that prevent him from asking questions here.
This coin is an 1852 3 cent piece. I recommend you purchase the latest edition of the Red Book of US Coins. If you want to identify a US coin, you can easily look it up in the Red Book, along with many errors, varieties, and information about coins such as weight, diameter, and designer.
Yes, I agree. How do we get new collectors if we treat the people who post to this site with a question like dirt?
The Silver Three Cent Piece was the lightest U.S. coin ever issued. It was also the first U.S. coin issued where the governemnt made no bones about it. The coin DID NOT contain three cents' worth of metal at the time. It aided in the purchase of the new three cent postage stamps which was a reduction in the mail rates.
The little coin actually has a lot of neat history surrounding it, but its small size made it hard to handle.
Here is a high grade one so that you can see what it looked like when it was new, although this one is toned.
A Three cent silver coin... quite worn, but still easily read... Where did you find this one? Cheers, RickO
@gabe9991 that is a very neat coin to have. I also have one or two. An odd denomination for sure. Most people today can't even imagine that we ever had a three cent coin.
And in case you are wondering, the three "I"s in the back are the Roman numerals for "3". I doubt that they teach Roman numerals any more in school and probably haven't done so for decades.
There is so much about this coin that is fun and different.
The Union issued a three cent note as well, during the Civil War.
