U.S. Penny
Remaining Coins Possibly Worth Millions At Auction
Published
The last of the US pennies were minted this week … and experts now say the coins could be worth millions when they go up for auction next month, according to a new report.
As you know, the final 1-cent coins were minted Wednesday in Philadelphia after 232 years in circulation.
In December, those pennies will go up for auction, and the last 5 coins ever stamped could sell for a whopping $5 million each because they contain an omega symbol that reflects their special status, USA Today reports.
John Feigenbaum, a rare coin expert, told the outlet … “Collectors would go nuts for a modern rarity of business-strike Lincoln cents.” As a result, Feigenbaum puts the value for each of the 5 special coins between $2 million and $5 million.
Now that’s not chump change!
