What are your best finds in circulation?

What is the best coin or coins that you recieved in change or "sniped" out of a register? I recently found sniped a 2006 silver proof state quarter at a baseball game which is why I am creating this thread. Other than that I have found one rosie. So lets see them.

Oh I got another one, back in 98 I was working at Ace hardware and this kid came in and bought some electrical parts totaling $10.42
I was standing near the register and noticed the cashier examining his coins but she eventually took them in. So I asked to see them after the kid left and she said they are funny quarters. They were all uncirculated silver Washingtons, $10.50 worth. So I bought all of them and put them away and actually forgot about them till 3 years ago I was super happy to rediscover the cup I put them in

Today i got a 1969 D Washington Quarter as change for a redbull at 7/11. At cointrackers.com it says it worth $3 at worse and $12 at best....and I just started coin collecting about a week ago and still havent gotten my first box for coin roll hunting....Heres hoping that its a good omen of things to come =)

Cointrackers is a horrible website for coin values. Unless it is in MS-65+ it has a value of 25 cents. Hope your next quarter in change is 5 years older.

What defines in circulation? Because technically any coin we find from coin hunting is in circulation. So if that's the case its my 1888s Morgan Dollar worth $200 bucks that I picked up from a citibank for face value

I recently received a war nickel in my change at McDonald's, a silver quarter in my change at Chick Fil a about 5 years ago, and a mercury dime while working a cash register at a grocery store about 10 years ago. I also got a 1928 $2 US Note from a 7-11 back on the Fourth of July

A lot of people on here may not believe this, but when I was 18, my friends and I went to a local restaurant and I paid with cash. I put the change in my pocket and when I got home, I put the change on my dresser and noticed that one of the quarters looked a little different......It was a 1853 Seated. I have it on my profile page as my avatar, just click on my username and you'll see it.

Cool thread idea.

Wow. It sounds like someone was partying hard that night!
