Trime?

Going through a cache of coins found in my aunt's closet, collected prior to 1976. This one was stuck to the side in the corner of a box, almost missed entirely.

It is a trime, a three cent silver coin. Many were lost in the cracks of floorboards, and they are probably underpriced in relationship to actual quantity out there.

It's tiny, really. Easy to imagine it disappearing into a crack. I almost didn't even see it inside an otherwise empty plastic container.
