<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KingofThings, post: 51910, member: 468&quot;]&#039;One of the first pennies ever minted in the U.S. sold for nearly $1.2 million in March. The 1792 copper coin is called the Birch Cent, named after its engraver, Robert Birch, and it’s thought to be one of only 10 similar coins known to exist. The penny is about twice the size of a modern penny and features a profile of “Miss Liberty,” a woman with flowing hair, and the motto (that was later abandoned), “Liberty, Parent of Science &amp; Industry.” The Birch Cent was sold by Stack’s Bowers, a rare coin auctioneer, at the Whitman Coin &amp; Collectibles Expo in Baltimore.</p><p><br /></p><p>And while the Birch Cent sold in March wasn’t exactly a bargain, it wasn’t the most expensive one ever sold. A buyer paid $2.5 million for another Birch Cent in January.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hoping you find an old coin that will take care of your taxes!&#039;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
