[QUOTE="brucee, post: 645623, member: 834"] I found this 1856 penny yesterday in the parklands near my home . Great condition considering where it was ( low swampy ground ). The oldest coin I have found so far . It is a bit different to old pennies I have found before, the date is on the head side , and it it is about 2mm smaller than a normal penny and only 2mm bigger than a halfpenny . It has a hole drilled in it , I think perhaps it was worn by someone as a good luck charm maybe .[ATTACH type="full" width="837px" alt="01E17166-BFD9-41A6-ADDE-145EEB09365F.jpeg"]2007[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" width="837px" alt="880BFBBD-923F-4977-9362-CF6F1CCC3EF7.jpeg"]2008[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
