I found a 1914 D Wheat cent in some CWR from my local bank. It was in the last roll and the last coin I looked, not much of a story but, still a great find.

Four silver dimes in my best box...

1917 Mercury dime, from a few rolls


What-Was-Your-Best-Coin-Roll-Hunting-Score-Ever?

Then there was the time I stopped at the LCS and got 42 LWC to work on an old folder and when I got home I found another hole filler a 1913-D LWC from the $50 in pennies I had in the car good thing I had not bought that one for 25 cents or MORE!

I can't decide which is best

I don't have one best, but several smaller that stand out (last five years)

56 solid rolls of wheats in one bank haul (I thank my wife).

Two solid rolls of steel wheats (thanks again hon).

1938D key Walker in a solid roll of Walkers and Bens.

Six Barber dimes, part of a 12-box dime order.

$20 bank roll of halves, solid silver

Several occasions of multiple solid silver rolls of halves
When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
Roll hunting since '77
Dirt fishing since '72

500+ buffalos in a single $100 box of nickels. Granted, the vast majority were dateless, but with some help from nic-a-date, I was able to put together almost a complete set from that one box. Also included was a very worn 1921-S that was (just barely) identifiable without having to use acid. It made a good finale to my roll-hunting career, as the bank I got those from would soon begin charging for rolls, and my dump bank got rid of it's coin counter.

Mine is nowhere near, especially the piles of Buffalo nickels.

My first box of pennies had a 1920 (oldest small penny) and a clipped planchet 1981 (my only error). A couple of KGVIs too
Or a 1960 and a 1961 nickel (my oldest nickels) in a single roll - I only bought two. And a 1968 silver quarter in the only quarter roll. On the same day.

I've been more successful asking tellers what they have behind their counter, it's once netted me a 1967 50 cent coin (my only silver one).

Well, I was knocked off the couch Yesterday, when I opened a roll of quarters, and out popped..... 13 silvers, my new record.

And to think I was going to stop doing quarters...

I had also opened up a roll of dimes and found 13 silver dimes about 2 weeks ago.

My best find was 7 Indian cents in one bag! They were all from the 1880's and in full Liberty condition! I was blown away when I saw these.
