Cool finds in half searching

[scotty1418]

I've been doing 3 boxes a week with a low silver count so I've kept my interest by putting together additional P&D sets.

Lately I came across a 1961 Canadian half - which looks really neat!

Today I had:
1 '69
1 1897 British penny!

By far my oldest coin and neat to see something so old with Queen Victoria on the obverse!

Anyone else found any real old British pennies?

Scott,

During a stretch I was finding more British than 90%ers. Here are some of the 1800 ones along with some other Euro Coppers.
