Nice one, rpmes! 1800s IHCs are tough to find in circulation.

Just pulled this baby tonight! I guess its a good 4 or 6 maybe, it does have some discoloration and corrosion I believe on the obverse, but it still has good eye appeal.

I just learned how to zoom on my new phone, so here are some better pictures than are currently posted in the Lincoln Cent hunting thread.

These are the 2 oldest I have found so far. I have pulled 2 other IHC as well but I do not have pics for them currently. Not to bad for Canadian coin rolls.

After just recently posting on this thread, I beat my old record by 15 years!

1889 V nickel.

Well worn and corroded, but about 125 years old!

That 1913-D Wheat cent is a very rare find. Only approximately 15 million minted.

Yeah, it looks like it has been dipped in a chemical or something. Maybe cleaned? Don't shoot it wasn't me lol! The condition doesn't matter to me, it's a 1911 and a hole filler.
