1899 V nickle is the oldest one I have listed on Numista, but I know I have an older Morgan
Taking a break from swapping for a while, but still interested in pre 1799 Spanish coins, I will make time for that!

Looking for pre 1783 coins

Well, basically, I mean a coin you ACTUALLY own. Like, in real life, currently. (ones that are shipping to you count).

Indeed the oldest American coins are reales and maravedis minted in Santo Domingo and Mexico in 1535.

American:  1773 halfpenny

USA:  1806 25 cents


I amassed my collection of American coins when I lived in the USA, since then I have concentrated on British Empire.

1848 Braided Hair Cent.  I don't collect the series.  Just got the urge one day to buy a large copper.

You do know you don't need to quote all the time.  Just hit the reply button  and then type "bump".  I can see why the guy got confused when you quoted him and then typed "bump"  And you can edit your own posts to corrct spelling errors, you don't need to make a whole new post quoting the whole previous post.

That's listed. I do have more, however. I only list coins that are worth it... Some EF 60's dime isn't really worth it.
