The Indian Head Penny - $1,000!


Recommended Posts

One of the first "old" coins many of us find when we begin metal detecting is the Indian head penny.

It was the second "small" cent, after the Flying Eagle cent. Do you know why the Flying Eagle cent, which preceded the Indian head penny, lasted just three years?

Who was used as a model for the Indian on the penny?

And which Indian head penny is worth a thousand dollars, even in not-so-great condition?

These questions and more are all answered in this week's show.

(By the way, if you've never listened to any of these shows, they are all pretty short - this one clocks in at about four minutes. And they include more solid information than you'll find in a half-hour "reality" show.)
