As it turns out, however, the penny wasn’t the real reason why she agreed to steal evidence.
Legend had it that the four pennies together would provide clues leading to a long-lost treasure, and Stern intended to find it.
Thanks to Glen Carter staging a heart attack at police HQ, Elizabeth was able to sneak into the evidence lockup and get her hands on the penny.
The action started when Red’s car was smashed into by a van so that Abraham Stern could rob Red of a very valuable penny that was one of only four in the world.
