A trime was a 3c US silver or nickel based coin from the 1850-1870s originally minted to make it oonvenient for postal patrons to pay the new 3c postage rate introduced in 1851 in the US.
A few post offices used a cancellation based on the Trime.
I have collected these cancels for a number of years and now that I'm having major medical problems, I have the time to expand my knowledge/collection. I have search a number of publications for any articles about trime, but to no avail. I have gone through the America Stampless Cover Catalog and found a few notations there.
Does any one know of other references that they could point me to.
Here's what I currently have in my database. The "x" means I have a copy in my collection.
