A few notable finds ive had to stimulate seeking.
1804 Large Cent mislabeled as 1803 in a junk box for like $5. Got NGC graded as 1804 w/o any noted issues.
Bought a cool-whip container of slick large cents and found a 1793 vines and bars..
1853/2 Gold Eagle labelled as 1853 in AU condition.
Got a bag of 12 aluminum coins from an island in SE Asia for $3.. sold on eBay for thousands to a coin museum in Singapore or Thailand.
Im sure I could note more but these are just the ones that first came to mind.. Always something good to be found.. Keep hunting!!
