Sorry, Dorado. Just saw your pic request. Will set up the camera this weekend. The old copper coin is just a beat-up large US cent...

The oldest coin I currently have in my possession is this VERY worn 1874 GB Penny
What-Is-Your-Oldest-Coin?

For now this is my oldest...But I have ordered an ancient Gallienus coin. This is from the Roman Empire and dates from 253-268 A.D This will most definitely take over my oldest coin slot when it gets here.

I have a few of note:

This is the 1851 large cent that was my great great grandfather's pocket piece. http://goccf.com/t/235882

1867 3-cent nickel that I snagged from circulation a few years ago: http://goccf.com/t/186347

My oldest foreign coin is an 1868 Victorian shilling.

Pics of my oldest coin as requested. The large cent has a completely slick reverse. Can't read the date, but I think I can make out "182?"
