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 coin
4 full rolls of a dumped collection, 1938-1959
1 full roll of mostly dateless Buffalo nickels
1891 V nickel
1950-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.
