Found that 25 centavos at a TD Bank Penny Arcade.. worth maybe $100?

Those are my best finds, from CRHing.

Figured I would start this thread because Im genuinely curious to hear some good stories- let's hear 'em! What are your best CRH finds?

Mine was actually 10 days ago... a G-6 1918-D Buffalo nickel. Worth about $30 based on the $22 value in G-4 and $40 in VG-8. Best of all, it replaced the one in my Dansco Album which was an AG-3!

In my relatively short stint as a CRHer, I would say mine is a rotated reverse Jefferson Nickel that I posted not too long ago. Don't know what I would actually get for it; but, I would assume that it would be more than a silver war nickel.

Hightek: in all the many years of my coin collecting days (since the '60's) I have NEVER come across a double cross strike penny like you found. Great find & congrats. HH
