Indian Head Pennies
Exclusive minting of one cent coins called “Indian Head Pennies” back in the 1850’s led to an incredible surge of demand over the course of the next fifty years. These coins only really started to circulate properly towards the end of the century, and by 1907 there were hundreds of millions in circulation. These days, you wouldn’t even be able to give these away to a collector, as they have also been redesigned and re-released in honor of late president Abraham Lincoln.

Happy Meal Collectibles
Happy meals have been enticing kids to nag their parents to go to McDonald’s for over fifty years. Armed with great marketing campaigns, the collectible toys that came with each meal changed regularly, so there was an element of scarcity and time pressure to get as many as you could. These days, even some of the original toys won’t collect much at auction, although there have been exceptions where the toys have fetched anywhere from $250 to $500.
