This is the oldest penny I've ever found 1934

Got this back as my change at the gas station. Pretty cool.

@dale74 I don't think he's a numismatist so it probably doesn't matter to him.

Being a US coin, it could have been used in "crafts" before he acquired it - some channels promote some coin cleaning methods as "fun science experiments".
