Thanks for the update, gotta love it when we beat our previous record for oldest coin in each denomination.

The only one I didn't beat was quarter, but I've found 2 since this post that were newer.

If I remember correctly, my oldest & most unusual was a 1873 three-cent piece (nickel var), found in a dime box., in fine+ condition. It had to come out of a collection somewhere, but yet it looks like a foreign coin unless you examine it closely. I'm not complaining, it goes in with the OLD TYPE COINS, in my collection.

Joblll: any chance of a pic? Amazing find; everyone along the way who touched it probably thought it was a foreign coin. Is it a BUST design variety, going back to the early 1820's. Nice going, a keeper none the less.

About a year ago, when TD banks were a dumping ground, I walked in to dump a weeks worth of gone through coins. They pull their machine out because I would dump close to $2,000 a week. Upon doing so, I could see some coins in a blocked reject tube. Upon getting them free, I found an 1820 Large Cent. It was worn but you could still observe everything. Other coins found include a very worn Flying Eagle cent. It was in a CWR. Looking straight on, you couldn't tell what it was. But turning it ever so slight, you could see the outline of the eagle. Found an 1876 Indian cent in AG condition. Found a few Liberty nickels. A few barber dimes. Don't do quarters. Oldest half found was a 1901 Barber.
