Mine would be 8 solid rolls of bens and walkers and another roll of 40%ers out of $100 in CWR's. There was also an XF '46 DDR in those rolls. :)

1945 P Nickel. Nothing amazing, but for someone who just started, I'm pretty happy :)

I found this 2011D Lincoln inside a bankbox awhile back...

What's-Your-Greatest-Find-Ever?

I found the coin on the left...

I sent it to PCGS, and it came back to me looking like this...

What's-Your-Greatest-Find-Ever?


I traded it, along with $60 to get this...

What's-Your-Greatest-Find-Ever?

What's-Your-Greatest-Find-Ever?


I then sold the 1/4 eagle to my brother for a couple-hundred dollars.

I used the couple-hundred dollars to buy multiple bags of wheats from my local dealer.


I've had more fun with that $.01 coin than you can possibly imagine.

Ive been searching for a few months now. So far, the best I've found was a 3x 1964 Kennedys and 4x 40% Kennedys in one box. I would be overly excited to just find one Franklin in a box.

It's been a few years now, but while looking for Ikes a teller tried to convince me that the really old dollars of the same size were real US money. She convinced me, and I took all 9 Morgans off her hands for $9.00.

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:

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.
