This my oldest. Have no idea what the answer to your question is. Now I’m curious myself
1035-1060
Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
Beautiful @Justacommeman!

It would have to be a non-U.S. coin..... So I would also like to know the oldest U.S. coin...that should be easy to identify. Cheers, RickO
They don't do ancients, but they do early Anglo-Saxon stuff. Here's a sceat from the late 7th century (Stack's Bowers picture from this auction). I imagine there might be stuff from earlier in the 7th century at the start of Anglo-Saxon coinage. Mid-5th century qualifies as ancient Roman

those are neat. is the 220 overstruck/doublestuck?
Might be multiple strikes, might be die clashing. I'll have to take a closer look at some point.
Another oldie, an early british sceat (695-740) ...
