61 year record breaker!!

I posted this in "Best Finds" forum, not sure if it qualifies in the strictest sense. But to date, it's MY personal best coin wise. The readers digest version is that up till now the oldest coin I'd found was a 1935 Indian Head. But today, I found my first ever Shield Nickel circa 1874.

Here's the link to the best finds for the full story!
