Boy Notices Odd Mark On Old Coin, Discovers Its Worth

Henry Ford

In Don’s lifetime, many rumors captured his imagination. But there was one particular rumor that prompted Don to hang onto that penny that he had found so many years ago.

Many coin collectors spread the rumor that Henry Ford himself had promised to give a new car to anyone who was lucky enough to find one of the legendary copper coins. At the time, Don desperately wanted a car from Ford. And, even though the rumor was debunked, Don still held onto his coin. And now, 70 years later, the coin was finally on auction.
