I was looking through $50 of boxed penny rolls and found 14 wheat's this is my eldest find.

A 1911 Wheat penny! 105 years old and still in circulation... I've heard of flying eagles being found in circulation, but this is pretty amazing. Who agrees and what's your oldest find?

I can't imagine finding a IHC that sounds impossible to find in a roll. But I'm seaching at least one box a week. I wouldent doubt my IHC find isn't far away. My last eldest find was 1917. I found 3 in change and in rolls whiten 5 years. It's probaly the most common teen coin to find in rolls.

Congratulations. The more you search the faster you find some treasure. My oldest was a 1897 IHC many years ago.
