1911 cent, late 1800s Indian Head cent, and I'm sure I am forgetting some. The 1911 cent came from a roll and the indian was got back in change.

During the late 70's and early 80's I would roll hunt half dollars. Just looking for silver I would find many 40% and a few 90% coins but this was my oldest find.

Nice Seated! You must have found lots of Barbers, Walkers, and Franklins then.

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.

Let me see what I have pics uploaded of. All coins pulled from rolls in Sault Ste Marie Ontario Canada.

Latest and my favorite 100+ year old CRH find: 1857 Flying Eagle

1892 Indian Head cent

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!
