Few U.S. coin series are as specialized as 2-Cent and 3-Cent Pieces. Produced for relatively short periods, these denominations have become favorites among collectors of early American type coins.

As collectors ourselves, we understand the historical significance of these uncommon denominations. We recognize the importance of originality, rarity, condition, and eye appeal, and we understand that collectors often spend years assembling complete type collections or specialized sets.

Whether your collection includes a few important pieces or an advanced holding, we'll evaluate every coin with the knowledge and care it deserves.

We Review Everything

We Review Everything

Collections of early U.S. type coins often include pieces with varying grades, surface conditions, and levels of rarity. Even circulated examples may be highly desirable to collectors.

There's no need to identify key dates or research individual coins before contacting us. We evaluate every coin in the collection, not just the finest examples, and consider the collection as a whole when making an offer.

Our decades of experience allow us to recognize the qualities that matter most to collectors of early American coinage.

We Come to You

We Travel to Large Collections

Many collections containing 2-Cent and 3-Cent Pieces also include other early U.S. denominations, type coins, and specialized holdings built over decades.

For qualifying collections, Anthony's travels throughout the Northeast and surrounding regions to evaluate and purchase collections in person. There's no need to package or ship valuable coins. We bring the buying process directly to you, making the transaction convenient, secure, and straightforward.

Direct Sale vs. Consignment

Why Sell Instead of Consigning?

Selling through an auction or consignment service can involve months of waiting, commissions, and uncertainty about the final selling price.

Selling directly to Anthony's offers a simpler alternative. We evaluate your collection, make a competitive cash offer, and provide immediate payment when you accept. No lengthy waiting period. No commission fees. Just a straightforward selling experience backed by decades of numismatic knowledge.
