Old one is an 8R cob. Cert Verification says dated 1701-1733.
Date might be partly visible as 1711?

For a narrowly focused half dime collector like myself the answer is pretty straightforward. My oldest coin is a 1794 half dime (I wish I could say that it was a 1792 half disme, but alas it is not), and my 'newest' coin is an 1873 half dime. I do have a few 'modern' Lincoln cents and Jefferson nickels, but I do not consider them part of the collection

It's a 1983 silver "Onza" from Mexico. It was one of the first really successful silver bullion one troy ounce coins, beating the Silver American Eagle by a few years. Proofs of these piece were made in very small numbers. This was a recent Heritage win.
--Severian the Lame
1787 Fugio PCGS F-15 is my oldest, (raw or certified)
2015 Lincoln Cent PCGS MS-66 is my newest certified, (though I could pull out some pocket change if you'd like). Gotta have that new "shield reverse"!!
(Really need to get a camera again....)
I'll post the oldest and newest of my toned collection
Well, I was trying to go for the over and the under on this hand, but I can't beat Lydian gold.
The Ancient Egypt - Ptolemy II or Ptolemy III (285 to 246 B.C. or slightly later), AE, 46.9mm, 73.3 grams. Obv, Head of Zeus Ammon, dotted border; rev, Eagle on thunderbolt, looking back, wings open, dotted border. Obv. Cracks, edge a bit porous. This coin comes nicer, but this is a large specimen. These photos are more red/yellow than actual coin.
U.S.A. ATB Quarter Dollar, 2017, Frederick Douglas homestead, Cu-Ni, 24.3 mm, 5.67 grams. I received this coin in change at the doughnut shop today, 09/27/2017
True/ truer color - which is better for illustration (non-commercial) purposes?
Not completely sure which one in my collection I've had the longest.. probably my Churchill commemorative from back in grade school days... but my newest is:
Some very interesting coins here.... I would really have to do some searching to determine my oldest....might be my two cent pieces from when I was a kid.... newest would be the Congratulations ASE....Cheers, RickO
Henry VI groat (1430-31) is the oldest, 2017 ASE is the newest.

Great thread!

Since I restarted collecting about 3 years ago, this is the first I added to my "permanent" collection.
Last newp I imaged was this 42-S walker I bought raw. Not many of these you can see where the thumb and forefinger separate.
Wow, there are some awesome looking coins here!!!
Thanks for sharing them.
