I sure wish I had found this with my detector, but I'll take it anyway.
On my usual coinstar route I picked up an odd coin, but my eyes aren't good enough to see the date. Once I got home I discovered that it's almost two centuries old! So I did the research...
It's a 1826 Georgius IV copper half-penny.

This is the oldest coin I've ever found. Why the hell would someone toss it in the coinstar? Oh well, I'll put in a coin bezel for my daughter who loves every English.
Thanks for looking. I hope you find a great one!
