I'm only at 1857 - Flying Eagle. I may have to remedy that after seeing what some of you have...

I believe my oldest is an 1851 Large cent, but I may be a little off in the date. Next I have an 1857 FE too. I used to have a Spanish 8 reales shipwreck coin from 1783, but sold that a while back. I know it's not a US coin, but it was used in the US until the Mid 19th century.

Currently it's an 1831 capped bust Half Dime. Hoping to get an older Half Cent soon though :)

Here's my oldest. 1818 Large cent, rotated about 120 degrees. Nice solid low condition with an obvious but rare error (R5), my favorite kind of coin.
