It had seemed like a while since I turned up a stunner in my coin searching, but last Friday I think I found one (at least for me). In a box of halves that had a whole lot of 40's, towards the end of it, I found a 1901 British Honduras 50 cent piece. Obviously I didn't know what this was for a second and even after reading its inscriptions I had no idea what it was worth.
My catalog states that 10,000 were minted and that it is 92.5% silver (.3465 ASW, so it's a bit smaller than a US half). The value they give for F is $35. Perhaps this one is worth $30 or so?
This is the second non-US & non-Canadian silver coin I've ever found and this one makes my top 10 most valuable list.

Here's a picture of a "semi-stunner" I found in February. A 1943 British Raj Half Rupee I found in a roll of quarters. It's 50% silver (.0937 ASW).
