    I went to my local bank to look for half dollars. The teller said they had none. I told the teller I'd give her jelly donuts and she looked in the vault. She dug up about $200 in old rolls, and I gave her $200 and the jelly donuts in exchange for the rolls. Then, I came home and searched them. The first 19 rolls had no silver or varieties. Being me, and never giving up, I opened the last roll when I saw a rim that wasn't silver OR clad.

    It was gold. And it was huge.

    I pulled it out to see a Saint-Gaudens double eagle. Immediately I started jumping around with the coin in my hand. Then, I checked the date. 1927. But wait-there was a letter above the date. The letter was a D.

    I sent it in to NGC and it came back MS66! What are the odds!

    But honestly I wouldn't be surprised if this happened to someone. Some people are that lucky.

    That one probably wins this year's April Fools contest, though it's neck and neck with Endeavor's football coin.:woot:
