A new client gave me a gift yesterday, an 1803 Large Cent, which is now my oldest coin.

A dealer I know gave my name as a referral to one of his customers. I met with the guy and he is going to hire me to handle a legal dispute. He gave me a gift, an ANACS Net graded VG8, Fine Details, corroded/damaged 1803 Large Cent. It is now my oldest coin, beating the previous coin (an 1929 large cent) by 26 years.
The coin is now 202 years old and IMHO is way cool. Looking at it takes me back in history to when the USA was an infant. If the coin could talk, its history from 1803 until it was slabbed would be incredible to hear.

That would be a lot of talking.

That would be a lot of talking.
The last few years might be boring though
