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.

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.
