LibertyEagle20 Pillar of the Community United States 1189 Posts	Posted 04/04/2015 4:06 pm I think my oldest is a 1920-P Wheat penny, it's a very common year though (minatage of 310,165,000!!). I also found a 1936 Buffalo nickel with a nice readable date a few weeks ago. Report this Post to the Staff
