    Sure but the oldest one is only 97 years old and we're looking for the "oldest" cents.:rolling:

    I have an 1855 Uno Centimes coin from France. Not sure if its worth anything but it looks to be at least an XF-AU. My next one would be a 1857 Flying Eagle in XF.

    A quick look and I found a 1928 dollar that was my grandfathers birth year. He had the dollar coin in his pocket for many years and it shows the wear. Sure not in mint condition, but I wouldn't take a hundred dollars for it. Now I carry it in my pocket.:rolleyes:

    My oldest is an 1818 Large Cent, but its a very low grade. Probably G at best (but its my oldest American coin-along with my 1818 Half Dollar so I really like it).

    1856 Flying Eagle Penny or Cent. Glad no one got carried away with the old penny/cent correction stuff.
