    The oldest for me was an Indian Head Cent. I can't remember the exact year off hand, but it was a common date from the 1890s and very worn.

    1866 shield nickel with a readable date and not much else.

    But what made me really happy was between Feb 14th and march 18th, I found three 1909 cents, two of which were VDBs.
