What's the nicest coin you found while CRH'ing?

Feel free to post your nicest coin(s) found while CRH'ing, pictures would be great too!!!

My nicest coin: got it yesterday in a box of nickels, a 1945-p war nickel that looks like it was minted yesterday. Usually nickels of that time period are dull worn and gray, but this one has full mint luster and only a little wear on the triangle in the monticello the steps and jefferson's hair. I can make out 3 steps on the monticello.

Sorry no picture, my camera is bad quality and I do not know how to post pictures.

Thanks for posting your nicest coin finds!!!

The nicest coins I generally find are BU red pennies, haven't found a BU wheat yet, but plenty of memorials from the '70s and late '60s. No pics because the coins generally just go into the copper melt after checking for die varieties, plus my camera isn't detailed enough to show off that it looks nice, just that it is a memorial cent.

The nicest condition coin would have to be my first WL that I found while CRH last week. Its a 1943 and in fantastic shape.

As for the "coolest" coin found for me would be my 1902 barber dime that I pulled a few weeks back from a NF string dime box.

Condition-wise, it would have to be a '67 Ken.

Best and oldest so far for halves? a '63 Ben.

Oldest dime? a '45 Merc.
