What's your best coin roll hunting find ever?

Hey I want to see what is the best find you've ever made since you started coin roll hunting? Post pictures if you can! Whether because it's you oldest, ,most valuable, rarest, error or any other reason it's all good! I've found a lot of awesome stuff over the years. My personal oldest is a 1907 Indian Head, oldest found in change is 1882 along with a couple 1892's. Found lots of error coins too. My favorite being a Canadian penny struck only on one side. I have tons more things I could say! But, it's your turn now! Let's make this a post that motivates people to OUTFIND us! lol

Yea I'm still lookin for my eagle in a half roll.
My best day CRH came by chance. I was dumping on a Saturday morning at my favorite dump bank, they had a new coin counter and it was not the industrial model that it replaced, anyways it was having trouble with the half dollars which gave ME and my favorite teller (Hottie) lots of time to chit-chat. She was so excited to show ME what she got the day before, she pulled out 20 Bens she rescued from the hopper the day before. I told her those are nice, what are U going to do with them? She said sell them. Not wanting to look like I wanted to take advantage I told her a coin shop to go to and see what she could get but if he won't pay more than $5 apiece don't sell them and I'll be back Monday. So I went back Monday and hand her $100 and she says "whats this for?" I told you I would pay $5 apiece, she said yea but is that too much? OK, how much do you want for them? She says how about $90? DEAL (she must have had the hots for ME like I had for her haha). Anyways she goes on about how she could have got more but didn't know if they was worth anything, how on the Friday before this old lady had bags of halves she cashed in. I said is that bag still here? Yes. Can I buy that bag? Yes. I walked out with a clear plastic bag showing silver all over- got over 100 Bens and '64's and almost 100 40%ers. Sometimes I wake up with a smile I can't wipe off and know I was dreamin about that dam bag again LOL. HH Mark

My best is the box with 134 keepers in it.

But a close second is the day I scored two solid silver rolls at one bank.

OLDEST HALF IS AN 1846 SEATED LIBERTY. UNFORTUNATELY SHE HAS A HOLE IN THE HEAD AND I'M UNABLE TO SEE IF IT WAS AN "O" MINT MARK. SEVERAL BARBERS AND WALKERS OVER THE PAST 18 MONTHS. LATELY THEY HAVE BEEN HARD TO COME BY. TOO MANY CRH"S OUT THERE.

Man a 38D Walking Liberty Half and not to mention a whole bunch of other great finds! Keep it up guys! I know I already mentioned some of my finds, but I have found a lot more really great stuff, a whole roll silver dimes once, she had Mercury and a 1913 Canadian Dime in it too. I'm continuously finding stuff, but to write them all down would take too long.

I haven't found anything too spectacular yet. So far, my best finds are a 1920 wheatie, and a 1958-D wheatie (My first CRH find).
