Pulled 5 silver dimes from a $1000 bag, one was a 1900 Barber dime. |

That would have to be my
1853 gold dollar bought at a Manchester (U.K.) coin show, for 30/- (one pound ten shillings) in 1970, on a visit there.
Even in today's 2102 dollar values, the price I paid would have only been about $10.

Not really my find, but in about 1964 a fellow student offered my a beautiful (about VF) 1914D buffalo for $0.25. I took him up on the deal and still have the coin.

Scotty what is the value on that penny? I think I found one like that and I think everyone thought it was PMD not legit so I think I tossed it back, I'd have to go back and look: https://goccf.com/t/123594 |

wrestling_135...I just finished sending you an answer via PM.
I don't want to turn this thread into a discussion about the coin that I found.

Value-wise, my greatest find was a 1950s Franklin I got loose from a bank a couple years ago. My favorite find is an 1890 Indian cent in G-8 from a bank roll in 2007. |

My best find while roll hunting was my first Buffalo nickel, a 1918/7 overdate that I acid treated and sold for $300 on ebay. |

I guess my greatest find would be a 1924-D LWC while searching about five years ago. |

My best find was a zinc penny blank planchet. Not worth much, but that's my best besides a 90% half.

My greatest roll find was a $5 Indian well worn (in that it had no date) from a roll of nickles back in the 70's.

Value wise, any one of the '64 halves that I turned up in my first box (beginner's luck!) In terms of fun, I've had a lot of very fun finds in my nickels: 1994-P/1973-D Magician's coin4 full rolls of a dumped collection, 1938-1959 1 full roll of mostly dateless Buffalo nickels1891 V nickel1950-D (nothing like finding the key date after 3 years of searching) Several nearly-uncirculated coins from the early 40's When silver hit nearly $50/oz about a year and a half ago, I did the math and found that I had nearly $400 worth of silver that I had gotten at face value, but decided that I would rather hang on to it to pass down to my children and their children someday. I never found any error coins, except for a couple greased quarters and a nickel. |
