This year I have found a 1909 S, 1909 vdb (VG) and a 1910S The 1909S is rarest and could only be made out under a microscope very dinged up/abused so I would have to say the best was the 1910S readable but very worn. (this week) So far this year IH's have eluded me. Very upsetting with the volume I have gone through ($2200) a friend got one in change and he rubbed it in my face knowing that I search a lot.

Best - 1924-D (VG condition)

Oldest - 1898 Indian

Oddest - Toss-up (some foreign, a penny-sized mint insert coin, half of a magician's penny, holed pennies, etc.)

I search primarily bags, so I find quite a few foreign coins mixed in that would be pulled out prior to rolling them and putting them into boxes.

I am up to just over 628,000 pennies this year. There is outside chance I might reach 1,000,000 by the end of the year.

Oldest:
1883 IH (but my last IH was in May 337,000 pennies ago, I figure I am due for one soon)

Best:
1914-S also had a Red/Red Brown 1909 VDB in AU condition.

Oddest:
I always find odd stuff due searching bags, most if not all of it would be removed before being rolled. Numerous flattened pennies, foreign coins, other denominations, washers, slugs, wire coils, key chain rings, jewelry, pennies with holes in them (one had two footprints cut into it), half pennies (or to be more specific pennies missing half the metal), etc.

I found a 1880 Great Britian large cent about 10 days ago but of course it was in with halves not a penny box. HH Mark

The oldest I have found in a roll is a 1895 IH. On day I found two IH's under the coin counter at my bank though, one was an 1864 IH.

The rarest by mintage was a 1932 Wheat (9 million minted).

Good luck, remember it's not only luck, but location and volume!
