    The cent was actually found by a friend and I made a trade for it, so I don't know if that counts, oldest I've found personally was a 1910 in pocket change. Nickel was in pocket change believe it or not, finding that v nickel was actually what got me into collecting

    I love those v nickels! Any thing is great to make a new coin collector.

    Ya it was a lucky find, hopefully not a once in a lifetime find though. When I first stumbled across it I thought it was foreign being that I wasn't a collector at that point. Fortunately I took a closer look.

    Nice ones Stax. I'm too lazy to take a picture but I found a 1904 IHC. Which would be my oldest.

    Nice find! Those are my oldest circ/crh finds, I've yet to find an IHC in a roll, I always manage to convince myself that the next roll is the one... Hopefully one of these days it actually will be

    As "the Great one" said... "you miss 100% of the shots you don't take."

    Keep trying - eventually you're going to run into one. I've found 2 (1889, 1905) in my 6 months of hunting this year...

    Always cool to have that happen... earlier in the week, I found a Buffalo and a War Nickel in the very first roll I searched that day!

    Sorry for the picture quality.

    I don't think the picture quality matters! This is a nice coin. Please post a pic of the barber!
