What are your oldest or most valuable coins found in a roll?

This 1/8th REAL from Jalisco Mexico
It is slightly bigger than our cent and was jammed in a roll of wheats. A teller at BofA had saved me several rolls of wheats.

My oldest is a 1834 Capped Bust half:

My most valuable would be a 1920 Maine Commemorative half in nice shape.

Other interesting finds include an indian head cents, three cent nickel, peace, morgan and ike silver dollars, stone mountain half, a few dream boxes, quite a few dream rolls from customer rolls and many other strange finds. Things seem to have slowed down and I'm getting ready to take the summer off. Last summer I was in the same mood then a pallet of 2009 cents came into town and I scrambled around for a month and made a quick nice profit...maybe it will happen again with some 2010 coins! This hobby sure can be fun and I'm a persistent b*st**d!

Most valuable.... Hmmm.... I believe the 1921 Morgan I got a few months back

That's the oldest silver anyhow, I did find some indian head pennies last year.

Mine is in my Avatar. A 1640 lion dollar. Of course that was not CRhing but metal detecting. CRhing was a 1897 British Penny.
