Worth millions of times its face value, the very first penny struck by the US mint is the holy grail cent coin for collectors. This particular example is likely to have been handled by George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, adding to its prestige. The coin was snapped up in 2015 for $2.6 million by Beverly Hills dealer Kevin Lipton.
