    I'll add to this.
    Oldest Nickel I've found has been a 1930-S Buffalo
    Oldest Dime: 1957
    Oldest Half: 1964

    I still haven't found a silver quarter.

    1917 wheat cent is the oldest but I've also found some buffaloes, war nickels and a couple of silver Washington quarters.

    I found a 1936 S Cent last week in a roll I got from the bank when I got $5 worth. I have found older coins, but not this recently. I got a 1903 V Nickle in change 50 years ago. lol

    I got a 1938 Jefferson nickel in change once; I don't recall the mint mark. I also got a 1959 Washington quarter (also don't remember the mint mark).
