You can tell by whether the bust is pointy or rounded.

As for the good coins, a 1968 Quarter I have no luck

As for pennies and nickels, where I live I regularly get 50's and 60's, my oldest is probably a 1944 penny.

Be careful. Once I found a 1969S cent in BU, but hours later, I smelled vinigre and figured that the cent was washed with vinigre!

I got a 1900 Dime from the Post Office in 2000. They got it in circulation and saved it for me- cost 10 cents- it is in quite poor condition, but I could read the date figures.

The oldest I know I have is a 1955 penny from circulation, but I'm pretty sure I have up to 1950. I'd have to double check.

I have had a huuuuuuge jar of pennies for about 6 years now. I just got in to coin collecting a few months ago, and went through it. Found a 1921 Penny not sure if thats considered circulation or not.

If the penny has only been in the jar for six years, it is considered (for me) as a coin from circulation.
