I have nothing to contribute to this thread since I don't roll hunt, but I took a look at the video you linked to. Apparently, this guy found a Bust dime in a coin roll? That is nothing short of incredible.
On my honor as a Coin collector. This was actually pulled from a Fed Wrapped roll. I am happy to say it was pulled from the bucket before going through a penny sorter for copper coins.
A couple of years ago, I bought two rolls of 25-cent coins from a bank teller, in a small town in Nova Scotia. They were wrapped tightly in tin foil.
Every single coin in both rolls was silver. Let me say that again... Every. Single. Coin. Most were worn down to F down to G grades, but the youngest coin in the roll was 1910 (so they were .925 silver). At least 15% of them were Queen Victoria coins, but no key dates. At least 1/5 of the coins were worth more numismatically than silver melt...
My next visit to that bank, I brought some Starbucks gift cards for the bank tellers...

Best individual coins: - 1950-D nickel in about F - Multiple 90% Kennedy halves - 1891 V nickel in Fair/Poor
Best hauls: - 4 solid rolls of a dumped nickel collection, 1938-1965, 5 of which were hole fillers - Solid roll of Buffalo nickels, including dateless 1913 type 1's and some S mints - Box of halves that was maybe 10-15% GEM BU 1995P from the same cracked die
That would have to be my AU 1928-S Buffalo I found in a machine wrapped roll last year. To date, the only single coin I've found valued in the 3 figures...
Honorable mention goes to the old roll of nickels I got last year which had 30 Buffalos, 4 Vs, 3 Proofs, a 1959-D, and two moderns. Best coins were a 1912-D V, and a 1925-D Buffalo.
Also got a roll of halves last year which had 15 40%-ers.
I found a cent hoard last year which consisted of 58 machine wrapped rolls from 1974. 46 wheats, several hundred S-mint memorials, and lots of BU 1973-D and 1974-D singles (and a couple of original rolls) were found in that batch.
Mid-2016, I got a partial box (44 rolls) of nickels which had 170 pre-60s. A sister box had 37 pre-60s. Included amongst the 207 coins were a 1938-D and S, and an AU 1939-D.

In 2010 when I very first started, I stopped in a 5th 3rd bank and asked for halves. The teller said he had $108 worth. I only had $60 on my, so I bought that $60. While walking to my truck I saw that written on the rolls was 1964 in pencil. I opened 2 to verify, then hit the ATM and bought the rest. Every single coin was either a 1964 Kennedy 90% or a Franklin half. At the time, I had no idea how rare something like that was, as it was probably only the 3rd time I'd asked for halves. So - 216 90% halves in 1 fell swoop was my best ever hit and will probably not be topped by me ever.
i got 150 wl and franklins at a bank last year someone turned in. the girl said they dirty and wasnt sure I would want them. gave here 50 dollars for finding them.next day she had 16 silver quarters
A couple years ago I picked up $80 in cwr halves the first $70 were clad junk the last roll I opened had a 1933 S WL and a 1853 Seated Liberty In AG grade . Another cool find was a teller had around $12 in halves one was a 40% the other was an 1863 S Seated Liberty
Best single coin (Authentic, but damaged, 1955 Doubled die cent)(2012) Best box of coins(596-90%ers and 4-40ers from a brinks box of halves)(2009) Best bank stop(6 Solid rolls of bens and walkers in old taped up customer rolls)
Best single coin (Authentic, but damaged, 1955 Doubled die cent)(2012) Best box of coins(596-90%ers and 4-40ers from a brinks box of halves)(2009) Best bank stop(6 Solid rolls of bens and walkers in old taped up customer rolls)

I'd have to review the CRH threads for the Nickel and Cent dumps I've caught, but the best have been the nickel dumps where I picked up several V nickels and a bunch of Buffalo. One of those dumps I also picked up rolls of AU/BU 60s nickels where I found several DDO / DDR specimens. As for singular events, the 2 1950D nickels (AU/BU), capped cent, and a gold Ducat stick out in my mind.
