Maine penny The Maine penny, also referred to as the Goddard coin, is a Norwegian silver coin dating to the reign of Olaf Kyrre King of Norway (1067–1093 AD). It has been suggested as evidence of Pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact.
==Discovery== Guy Mellgren, a local resident and amateur archaeologist, said he found this coin on August 18, 1957 at the Goddard Site. This was an extensive archeological site at an old Native American settlement at Naskeag Point on Penobscot Bay in Brooklin, Maine.〔 A 1978 article in ''Time Magazine'' called the discovery site an ancient Indian rubbish heap near the coastal town of Blue Hill.〔 〕 Over a lengthy period, a collection of 30,000 items from the site were donated to the Maine State Museum. The coin was donated in 1974.〔
