Question: What is the most valuable single coin you've pulled from circulation?

Out of curiousity.. what is the single most valuable coin you've pulled from circulation or paid face value for?

Mine was a 1921 Peace Dollar I got years ago...
As for best in pennies: 1922 Canadian Penny low mintage
As for best in halves: None more than silver content value ... Never gotten a Barber in 10 years of searching.
(Updated 2/16/10 - did find a 1901 very worn Barber two weeks ago (AG-03))
As for best in dimes: 1927-S in VF condition
As for best in nickels: Don't search nickels
As for best in quarters: Don't search quarters

Notables although not extremely rare or valuable (all circulated)
1892 Columbian Expo Half Dollar
1986-S Ellis Island Half Dollar
1994-D World Cup Half Dollar
1992-S Olympics Half Dollar

1883 V Nickel no cents. Not worth too much, but was amazed this thing was still in circulation.

1938D Walker. I will be honest, not sure if it counts, I paid the teller $5 for it at the window.

Next would be a 70D Kennedy from the tiny bank at Wallyworld.

Here is my 1938d in at least Fine condition. When I found it I posted it here and the title was something like "My meager finds" as I found this and maybe a few 40%'rs. Right off the bat someone said check your red book and sit down (or something like that from what I remember)
