In April of 2006, an avid coin collector released three of his extremely rare, and valuable, pennies into circulation. As of January 13th, 2009, no one has come forth saying they have found them.
Noted coin dealer Scott Traversannounced three years ago he had released three rare and valuable pennies into circulation, but none of the coins has been reported found.
“Not only does it appear that these three pennies are out there waiting for someone to cash them in for a pretty penny, there are lots of others that are just like them that are out there,” said Travers, author of the book “One-Minute Coin Expert.”
In a bid to encourage a new generation of coin collectors, Travers parted with the three one-cent coins in April 2006.
The pennies include;
- 1914-D Lincoln Cent worth $300
- 1909-S V.D.B. Lincoln Cent worth $1,000
- 1908-S Indian Cent worth $250
