Re: 2006's oldest finds so far

With so many new forum members and the halfway mark of 2006 fast approaching it's a good idea to bring the year's oldest list back to page one. Here's what to shoot for everyone!

Here is the breakdown on the 100 Morgans that I got at the bank.

I thought that there was an 1878 but it looks like 1879 is the earliest.

1879 Philly (3) 1879 O (1)
1880 Philly (3) 1880 S (5) 1880 O (1)
1881 Philly (1) 1881 S (10) 1881 O (5)
1882 Philly (2) 1882 S (1) 1882 O (1)
1883 Philly (3) 1883 O (2)
1884 Philly (5) 1884 O (4)
1885 Philly (3) 1885 O (2)
1886 Philly (4)
1887 Philly (3)
1889 Philly (4)
1890 Philly (2) 1890 S (4)
1891 Philly (1) 1891 O (2)
1896 Philly (5)
1897 Philly (2)
1900 Philly (6)
1921 Philly (13) 1921 O (2) tiny mint mark

The bad news...no Carson Citys or scarce dates. The good news is that these look like they have been stored for a long time and most are in great condition. Many have strong mirror fields and very little wear.
Where do you get rolls of dollars? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

Re: 2006's oldest finds (FINAL RESULTS!)

Although I didn't post it under this thread (manily since I didn't know about), I found a 1883 V-nickel (without cents) this year.

It was listed in my first post.
