Not as exciting as some others but I was walking around a local flea market and found a good deal. They had some BU LWCs for $.25 each! Sadly they only had three, but I bought them all. My fiance laughed at me when my bill was $.81! Still enjoyed getting a good deal.

dmagku Sounds like you got a bargain.
I was in a thrift shop on Sunday and a guy discovered a set of NZ coins priced at $6. That was a steal - they were worth about $50.....sadly I was a few minutes too late.

Not the find of the century but there was 26 NZ 3d from 1943 (Silver) and 214 mixed coins from early 1900 to recent.....not bad for $5

This little coin came yesterday. It's very small, about the diameter of a USA half-dime.
