    THE first coin that captured D Brent Pogue's attention was a 1915 wheat penny. He was 10 years old, and at the time, he thought it was worth US$250 million.

    "The only value of that coin is my sentimental attachment to it," Mr Pogue said from his home in Dallas. He estimated the penny is probably worth two US cents today.
