A coin only a variety collector would appreciate at this grade...
If you’re including all post-colonial coinage, and then it’s this:
If you mean struck by the US mint, then this one:
This is my oldest/lowest grade coin in my collection. I have older but all graded much higher.

This is the oldest lowest grade one that I have, it’s a hand-me-down that Mrs_Spud gave me when she upgraded to a VG8

After seeing @Creg buffalo, we all know there are tons of no date buffalo's out there.
I'm just wondering why we don't see many PO1 buffalo's? I did a quick search of some pop reports, Unless I'm missing it......I didn't see many. Wouldn't you think there would be a lot of PO1 buffalo's out there?

Earlier coins are XF/AU so this is the closest I could find for both halves of the assignment.
For my WLH collection, the 1916's are the lowest & oldest. The 21's are also G6. For my Morgans, the 93-S in G4 is the lowest. I like the look of this grade when not messed with and not white from dipping, the date is strong and most of rims are still there and don't bleed into the motto.
Here is my oldest American coin, an Oak Tree Shilling.
If you narrow that down to "made in the Americas" it would be this 8 reale cob. This piece does have a date, "1654."
Fantastic Chain cent!!
My oldest by far.

I cannot do it in one coin, but I can do it in two coins.
1794 head of 94, graded G4
1798/7, graded AG3
My oldest graded American coin is an 1825 CBH in ANACS VF30. I also dug a Machin's Mills half cent but it's corroded and not worth grading.
The lowest graded coin, an 1873 No Arrows, Open 3 half dollar in F2. It was formerly in the top-notch "Newtown" collection, much of which is being auctioned off early next year. It was sold off separately from their main set which is mostly choice AU and MS coins. This one stands out in the consignor's gallery at GFRC for being far more worn than the rest of their set.

Unfortunately not at my current location, but in my colonial/foreign type collection I have a Henry VII half groat coin. This type was dug in Newfoundland. NGC45 (1485-1509).
I think when you combine the two, this is the one for now

I love the O-115, especially in lower grades. The spacing between the reverse lettering and the scroll has the aesthetic of a 1795 small eagle reverse draped bust dollar. Not sure why, but it has an appeal unlike other marriages!! Maybe I am getting too nutty...
