1792 Birch penny coin

The 1792 Birch penny coin is truly one of a kind. This was the first penny minted in the U.S. and is any collector’s dream. It is said that the penny was also handled by both George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, to add more reasons as to why anyone would want to have it in their collection.

In 2015, it was sold for $2.6 million by Kevin Lipton, a Beverly Hills dealer.

Let me tell you something. If I happen upon the chance to so much as hold this penny, I’m not washing my hand for an entire week!
