Million-Dollar Penny

From the March 22, 2015, Parade Magazine.

A rare 1792 Birch Cent will be auctioned by Stack's Bowers during the Whitman Coin and Collectibles Spring Expo March 26-29 in Baltimore.

It's one of only a handful of the original coins still in existence that were produces just after the founding of the U.S. Mint.

One sold earlier this year for more than $2.5 million.

Follow Up:  It sold for $1.175 million.
