Oldest Roll Find

Today I found a 1920-P Lincoln. It was the only wheatie in six rolls.
Anyone find anything older?

The oldest coin I've found was a 1910-S Lincoln cent

 

ive found a 1912 s wheatie

 

I found a 1909 p once, oldest I've found. Wish I found the 10 and 12 S cents though! Nice finds guys. Oh, and congrats on your find! Nice find. :thumb: What's the condition?

1886 cent about two years ago in a box from the bank.

 

Just out of curiosity, what denomination was the roll you found it in.

My oldest is a tie between a 1912 Wheat Cent and a 1912D Barber Half (in VF-XF condition to boot, full Liberty on head and full lines on the shield)

Don't know where the thread is, but someone posted awhile back about finding a real from the 1700's in a bag of dimes.

 

gatzon:
I am still amazed by that Barber half dollar!
Congrats on a great find.

 

1916 cent just a few weeks ago, they are still out there!!

 

haha, an 1865 2 center in a roll of quarters a year and a half ago.

 

1919, and 1918 wheats a couple of weeks ago....Lots of 30's, and tons of 40's still out there..I do a box of pennys almost everyday.......I keep all 1970, and earlier, and cherry pick all the 70's, 80's, and newer......Wish I would have stated this 30 years ago....My goal is to put away a box of pennys every week, and not touch them...In 30 years or so I can either go thru them, or sell as unseached boxes for big bucks....Tom

 

I bought (2) $25 boxes of pennies (cents) today, the wife has the roll searching bug after finding a wheat cent Sunday night in change !!
I'll post any goodies Monday.

Edit: We are saving all copper cents

 

I found a 1888 indian that was really bad shape. i guess that why no one kept it. other than that a 1910 wheat.

 

Cody, you got cheated out of 23 cents...lol.

 

i know this isn't older than 1920, but my oldest is a 1938 jefferson nickel. i've only done 30 rolls of nickels though.

 

1909 p cent as well
