I was wondering what your oldest coin ever was. Mine was a 1943 canadfian penny from the school halls. I also found 3 wheats there.....and I'm in Canada.
 
Mine is a 1777 Spanish Half Reale. Found in some woods with a bunch of bullet lead and brass shells from many different generations.

This will be a fun thread.

Mine is a 1655 Liard DE FRANCE King Louis XIV (14th) Juvenile Bust 1643-1715. Found one last season and also found one in 2010
 
1874 Canadian 5 Cent Piece. Was in the same hole with 11 Indian head pennies. My coolest old pocket spill ever.

That is my oldest readable. I have found 5 shield nickels but i cant read the dates on any of them. :(

I found two large cents, the first one is completely toasted, the second is 1834, so that is my oldest w/ a date.
