Oldest one I have found so far is an 1896 Indian Head penny. But I know people have found older on here.
 

1820 Large Cent in a bag of halves.

1876-CC seated dime in F-ExFine condition, in a box of dimes from one of my local banks. See my old posting of Aug.18,2014., but a poor picture.
 

1875 seated half; unfortunately it has a hole for chain.

1848 seated dime.

1889 Indian head cent.
 

1915 British Penny in a roll.

As for US coinage, a heavily worn 1918 Standing Liberty.

1914 cent. Nothing special.
 

No really old coins

Oldest coin so far 1947 penny, Next oldest coin is a 1960 quarter. I have mainly searched school yards as parks aren't available until the late fall and winter. I did post a nice bulova watch I find in mid august. It is running like a top since I took it to the jeweler. You guys with the really old coins water my eyes.
