This includes Indian Head cents, Flying Eagle cents, V nickels, Barber dimes, Seated Liberty dimes, Barber quarters, Seated Liberty quarters, Barber half dollars, and Seated Liberty half dollars.

This also includes any 100+ year old obsolete size or denomination coins found in rolls.

Let's try to get as many different types listed above! (I know some like the Seated Liberty coins will be tough...) Please, when posting

For starters, here's an 1898 IHC I found coin roll hunting:

this also includes 1913 Buffalos nickels, I've found like 4 or 5 of them.
My oldest is an 1899 Liberty nickel. Before that I found 2 other Liberty nickels, 1907 and 1910

Oldest find is a 1923 Canada George V nickel and that would be 90 years old this year.

Here are my 100+ year old coins minus an Indian head that I can't seem to find. I do not recall the exact date, but I remember that it was from the late 1890s.

1910 Cent

Sorry about the sub-par photography. It was before I knew what I was doing, not that I know what I'm doing now, but I have improved!

Wow, Afterimage, nice finds! An SLD and an 1883 V nickel! That nickel looks in great shape, was it from a coin roll?

Thanks, guys! Yeah, those were all roll finds. I just about fell outta my chair when I found that Seated dime!

I'm guessing somebody broke into grandpa's coin collection and spent the '83 V nickel. It's much too nice to have been circulating for 130 years.

My oldest roll find is a 1911 Barber dime.

However, I found it almost twenty years ago.
