A copper penny minted in 1792 and kept in a tobacco tin for decades was auctioned Monday for $437,000. The chocolate-colored penny, the ninth known example of its type, bears the date 1792, an inscription "Parent of Science & Industry: Liberty," and the likeness of a woman's head representing Miss Liberty, Goldberg said.
