A 1792-dated copper cent has sold for $1.15 million, a US auction house said yesterday. The experimental coin with
a silver center was one of the first ever struck at the United States mint and is one of just 14 known to have survived.
It was purchased in 1974 for $105,000 and was sold to a dealer representing investors at an auction held in conjunction
with the annual Central States Numismatic Society convention in a Chicago suburb.
“Some 1792-dated cents have
a silver plug as a proposed way to overcome a flaw in the Mint Act of 1792,” said Todd Imhof, vice president of Texas-based
Heritage Auctions. “That congressional law would have made pennies of the era too large and heavy for practical use.
AP
RARE: This 1792 penny has silver in its
center.
“So the mint’s chief coiner suggested making a smaller sized coin using a tiny silver plug with three-fourths
of a cent worth of silver and a quarter-cent’s worth copper surrounding it.”
Congress then reduced the
official weight of the cent, making an all-copper coin more practical. The first early American cents were struck for actual
circulation in 1793 were a little larger than a modern quarter coin.
The experimental coin is graced with a portrait
of “Miss Liberty” and the inscription “Liberty Parent of Society and Industry” on the front and a
wreath and the words “United States of America One Cent” on the back.
