5 Copper Coins Worth a Lot of Money

1872 Indian Head Penny

Slightly more than 4 million were minted and most went into circulation. What makes certain coins of this date rare is their “exceptional condition,” according to The Spruce Crafts. Some of the more valuable examples are so well preserved you can still see the original bright red-copper color. These coins are valued at $126,500 and in particularly excellent condition (the price listed is for an MS-67, or high mint state, for example).
