Well my oldest CRHing finds are still the 1878 and 1878S Morgan dollars (not sure which one of those is older lol) as I mentioned here a couple of years ago. It will be difficult for me to beat those two in terms of age. But earlier this year I found my oldest nickel that Ive ever found CRHing with some good nickel rolls I managed to get that had several buffalos as I remember. Its a full date 1913 T1 buffalo that was an ender too. I didn't get a pic of the coin in the roll but u can still see the machine ring on the face of the coin (unfortunately). I never posted it at the time but I just thought posting it here now on Buffaloboy's thread seemed appropriate.

Merry Christmas and HH!

Merry Christmas, SilverFace! That is a beauty, too bad the crimper got to it. I would love to find a pre-1920 buffalo nickel with a nice readable date without acid treating it, earlier this year I found a 1913-S raised mound buffalo nickel, mine is dateless though.
I hope 2014 brings you some older coins!!

Let me know if these qualifies - A few weeks ago I was at my dump bank and prior to me dumping, I looked into the reject tray and saw four coins - three foreign and one American coin, an 1860 Indian Head not in too good of shape. Start dumping and I look up the reject tube and there are a lot of coins stuck. Again foreign and an 1820 Large Cent in good condition.

1919 s Wheat x 2, from 2 boxes, one in each, from my first serious stab at CRH. I still prefer to dig mine up, but it's interesting that so many older coins are still in circulation.

 

[Guest 1551]

Oldest cent = 1917 Wheat
Oldest Nickel = 1919 Buffalo x2

 

[ugotit22]

1857-seated half
1853- large cent
Few 1800 barber and Indian heads

 

[mark1982]

1900 barber dime
1917 walker x3
1835 German pfennig was told it's worth about 25$. Second one I found I believe the other was a 1857.
