Not awfully impressive compared to some, but my oldest is a 1912. My oldest Canadian is a 1926.

I'll post the latest date oldest find: 1946.

BUT, I've only searched about 35 rolls total. I've recently committed myself to a Jefferson nickel album so that will be my CRH priority, with a little Lincolns on the side. Sorry Tom...

My oldest is a 1909 Lincoln... not quite the vintage that some of you folks have found, but since I live up here in Canada I figure not too bad!

1918 AG3 wheatie. I couldn't even downgrade it to FR or PO so I could pretend it was the start of a lowball collection. Didn't even break 100 years yet. At least there's room for improvement!
