[QUOTE="furryfrog02, post: 4521553, member: 41219"]Tonight I searched my 700th box of Lincoln cents (at least by the count in my notebook). At box 699 I was thinking to myself that it had been quite awhile since I had seen an IHC. Imagine my surprise when this fell out of a roll. I expected it to be a later date 1900-something but I was blown away when I saw what it was. 1879! At 141 years old, this is now the oldest coin I have found while searching rolls. Is she in great shape? No. But you gotta give it to her, she has been out working hard for 141 years. Show me a 2020 Lincoln cent after 141 years of circulation and tell me how great it will look...Oh wait, they will have all rotted into nothingness!
