CPC24 Pillar of the Community United States 619 Posts	Posted 01/09/2013 02:12 am I was going through a bag of halves, when this popped up. I thought it was a carwash token at first, then I saw "ONE CENT"! Needless to say, it's the oldest coin I've ever found in circulation...

Derek Valued Member United States 125 Posts	Posted 01/09/2013 5:00 pm That is AWESOME! That is the same year cent that I have that my dad gave me as a small sliver of his collection. Back when he got a bunch of large cents in the 70's they only sold for about 7 bucks a piece. You imagine buying them at that price today? lol Report this Post to the Staff
CPC24 Pillar of the Community United States 619 Posts	Posted 01/09/2013 6:20 pm Definitely my oldest find. Is it a large or small date? I think a small date goes for $15-20, right? Report this Post to the Staff

CPC24 Pillar of the Community United States 619 Posts	Posted 01/09/2013 8:48 pm I thought it was a large date. I also found a few silver halves including an impaired proof. Perhaps someone raided a collection.. Report this Post to the Staff
