This happens to be the LOWEST minted Barber Half ever produced (1914 no mint mark) - Only 124K minted. Well it was my favorite until I sold it for $130

I found a 1972 Dbl die cent in 1987. Definitely my coolest find. What made it special was the fact that I lived in Idaho at the time and this coin was very far from it's Philadelphia birthplace. I was 13 years old and the coin was worth a lot of money to a young kid. I sold it for about $75. Wish I would kept it.
Composition: 79.1% Copper, 20.5% Nickel, 0.4% Iron

1/100 of an American dollar is a cent. It is NOT a penny. The word penny is used by several other countries, such as Great Britain, to denote their smallest denomination. In order to be numismatically correct, you must use the term cent to describe the American coin.

Well I have two for the price of one that I found in the same roll 4 Days before my birthday. It was a very exiting find since that day I took my first vacations in 8 years since I am in this country and went to Washington Dc to the museums and to Mount Vernon the the home of President Washington. Sorry about the photos they do not show the coins very well
1883 no cents...found it today along with 25 other v nickels. Also found an 1888 but its pretty beat to hell, and a 1912 with a mint mark, not sure what it is though since it's so worn. If its a 12 S thats the new favorite hahaha, but for now its my 1883. My new oldest.
2013 running total:
Oldest coin find of the year (and overall) 1858 flying eagle
total silver oz x 27.53678
I know you no longer have this in your posession since its technically illegal to own a counterfeit...but lets just say you decided to keep it, and you were going to get a quote on how much its worth, what do you think it would be?
I asked my local dealer and he said that they can be had for about 20-25 dollars but I did see one on eBay going for over $60 once.
