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

A war nickel. Don't laugh!

Alrighty, an update. My most valuable coin that I've found is a 1913-S Type I buffalo nickel. Am I the only one that found a type I?

I have found a type I before but from Philadelphia. Not really a key but the type didn't even last a year.

Mine would have to be the 1983 DDR penny found last year in xf condition. I have also found 2 '70d halves and '55 Franklin key date.

I just sold my 2007 George Washington Missing Edge Lettering for $28.75, so Either that one , or my 1925 Stone Mountain.

Got an 1884-O Morgan silver dollar at face value from a tellers tray on June 6, 2009.
Also have gotten a 1946-D Booker T. Washington commemorative half and a 1952 George
Carver/Booker T. Washington commemorative half both in the same roll. Last but not
least, I got a 1946 Walking Liberty Double Die reverse in a complete roll of Walkers I
got in May 2007. A coin dealer told me it's worth about $50.

Nice Find.. I have yet to get a low mintage early commemorative.. Weak strike but looks to be in AU/low MS condition too... Sometimes I just want to quit (meager finds of late) but seeing finds like that incourages me to continue. Please tell you got that in a roll from a ordered box.

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

Yes, found in a box I ordered from B of A. I couldn't believe it myself when I saw it. It's a beauty and one of my favorites. Thanks for looking!

I don't know if its the most expensive or the best - but it was exciting to me.

It was 4 quarters (someone was paying me with quarters), and 4 were proofs - still shiny, still had the raised brush "frosting". And no bag marks, I think she just took them out of a collection. I had them graded and sold 2, kept 2.
