Oldest I've found, in less then 50 rolls (hey, I am still new!) was a 38 Jefferson.

If your talking 40 years ago, I would say a few Indians, all were rough. Probably every P mint except for the 14 and 15. A lot of S and D mints from 1917 – 1919. But hardly any Mint narks after 1920.. One coin still in my collection, an AG 1924 D.

1876 IHC, which is still the cornerstone of my Whitman folder collection!

Dateless buffs. The oldest dated coin was, for me too, a '38 Jefferson.

1892 Columbian Half? 1844 Brit half-farthing? Way cool!

Maybe a Wheatie from the 'teens. I forget. I got a 1920 Buffalo nickel once.

That's in bank rolls.

From circulation, my oldest is a 1909 Lincoln cent (no VDB... or S, alas). Pretty low grade. AG or even Fair.

1917 Lincoln Cent

CHAMELEON

I found a circulated 1913 Type 1 Buffalo Nickel in a roll once. Another time I found a nearly perfect 1941 Jefferson nickel with full steps in a roll (probably graded MS-67/68 FS). Also got a 1916 & 1917 Walking Liberty Half $ from the bank when I was requesting half dollars.

The day before I left Sidney, Ohio in 1978 to move to Colorado Springs, I bought a roll of Ike dollars to spend along the way. Found an 1887-O dollar with a hole in it. Wore it on my keychain for years as a memento.

Then there was that time my wife and I were on our honeymoon in Rome, and I "borrowed" a stone from the Coliseum as a souvenir. Under it I found a roll of Nero Denarii wrapped by Brinkus Maximus.......

It would have to be the brand new bank roll of Guam quarters I opened 2 weeks ago and pulled out a 1974 and 1968 Washingtons.
