Re: What's your oldest CRH find?

I found a Spanish 1 reale coin, minted 1772-1777 or 1785-1802. I can't make out the exact year on it. It was in a box of nickels.

I remember someone on here finding an old roman coin in circulation...

Re: What's your oldest CRH find?

When I first started CRHing, I searched through my change jar and found an 1882 Indian head penny. I've already had a few that my dad gave to me, but I found it amazing that i found one in my change!
