Amazing find! My best is a 1936 Walker half.
Interestingly, this isn't the first time I've heard of someone finding gold in a roll. I could understand people trying to cut their losses back in the 40s/50s/60s when investment gold was still illegal to own (although coins were exempt as Conder pointed out) but I would think that all gold would have been found long ago, especially when gold became legal again.
Speaking of people trying to cheat banks and vending machines, I heard a long time ago of a customer who spent a dime roll filled with 3 cent pieces, thinking they were making a $3.50 profit. People will try absolutely anything.

My best CRH'ing find was a 1917 DDO that I sent out to PCGS for grading. It shot a F15. Still have it in the SDB after 10 years since the find. |

Wow Small Fortune;
That was a find of a lifetime for sure dude! What mad you decide to go through the old rolls in your attic at that time? Or did you just spontaneously go up there and do it to get the task over with one day? I bet you almost fainted. I probably would have! LOL...

Conder102 is right in 2012 I worked for an estate buying show traveling the country and a guy came in with a 9 oz gold bar. It tested 22 kt and my boss was afraid to buy it. He had said it was worth $14,000 but we didn't know what was in the middle so I went in and bought it for $9,000. I knew instantly it was melted gold coin. The test and the color. He found it in an old tackle box from the 40's or 50's and that's what I told the boss grandpa was afraid of the government and melted his coins. 22 kt jewelry fron the Middle East has a different color because of the other 10% metal composition.
