Oldest Wheat Cent you've found in circulation

What's the oldest wheat cent you've found in circulation? You can post a picture of it as well, if you want.

Oldest Wheatie I've found was a 1910 when looking through change.

I've found at least 5x 09P's in my searches. Including 1 pretty rough VDB.
Here's one of the nicer 09P's:

 

1909

 

Well, since I started in 1948, I was still finding Indian Heads. But the oldest Wheat Cent would be a 1909 VDB.

 

1914

 

1909 VF/XF. I was surprised at the condition.

 

1909 I've been collecting for a long time also.

 

1909P Wheat. 1863 IHC.

 

1909, another old geezer here who started in 1949. But the oldest U.S. coin I've ever found in circulation was dated 1853. A&R half dollar.

Kind regards,

1909 when I was just a kid using single digits as my age. (They were still making wheats at that time). I've also found several Indian Head Cents too.

 

1909 P and VDB. The two 1909's I have found are both the oldest in my collection. I found the 1909 VDB in a crazy hunt... I got a box of pennies, with absolutely NOTHING good in it until the before last roll. The second to last roll had a 1909 VDB, 1917, 1926, five 30's, and some 40's and 50's to make it a total of 43 wheat pennies in a 50-coin roll. The last roll was quickly opened as I hoped to get the same results, but instead the hunt ended with a BU 1958-D. Probably never going to top that ever in any of my other hunts.

 

All great finds. The BEST find I ever had in change was a Twenty Cent piece. It was given to me back in the 50's in change as 25 cents. I had to bring the change to my Mother. It would be 5 cents short and she would know it. She forgave me and told me to put it in me collection.

 

The oldest cent I ever found searching boxes (and I searched a lot) was at least one 1910 cent and quite a few from the teens. I found like 5 1919s cents within a short period of time for some reason. This was between 2009-2012.

 

Not sure, but I know I have found some teens.

 

So Cool! Is it valuable?

 

Like some others, 1909. If you search long enough, you can find most dates.

 

Would an 1858 LL FEC count? Change in the cafeteria back when I was in 8th grade.

 

So Cool, great story

 

Cool story. If I'd only known as a child....

 

1909 VDB.
