Im curious what peoples favorite finds are. My favorite find was an Alphonso XIII 50 cent piece 1904. I found this when I was younger at a baseball game. I was playing on the ground and seen this coin. This coin is in excellent condition. So what is your favorite find?

That's a cool coin to find in bleachers?

I don't find anything at games, but I have picked up some cool stuff at coin shows:

I know I probably sound like a broken record because out of my woping .... 12 posts I think I may have mention my job 11 times.

I work at a fast food resteraunt called Sonic as a carhop (I'm 19 and in college so I do have higher aspirations) but I am around so much change at that job. I have a cup of it I take home every time I work thats tips. Heres some of my more notable finds (off the top of my head) in almost 2 years.

wheat pennies, no keys, now low dates
fair share of canadian pennies/nickles/dimes/quarters
bicentenial canadian dove penny
canadian royal mounted police quarter
dutch dime and english 10 pence
2 bicentenial kennedys and almost a roll of bicentenial quarters
a 1979 SBA coin from each mint (D,S,P)
1950 silver quarter
1940's Mercury dime


plenty of golden dollar sac coins and the Presidential dollars are actually really commonly spent by customers (surprisingly) I've never had to go to the bank to get the president coins, I just keep them when the customer spends them and I have all the presidents so far.

One of the coolest finds I've seen at work was a fellow employ found a silver certificate in his 1 dollar bills.

Like Kurt.......I have no notable "finds".......I have to "buy" my things !
I've found the occasional Wheat penny in pocket change.......or a few things from searching halves by the roll, etc. etc.
