A coin I found at a shop loose in a '10 cent box' full of foreign coins. 1909 Newfoundland One Cent. It was AU looking with a good shine. It's highly likely that this one slipped through the coin shop owner by mistake, it was easily a $75-$80 piece on ebay. I sold it a couple years ago.

1909 One Cent has a mintage of 200,000. I should have kept it as an investment but oh well.

 

1934S peace dollar for $10 at flea mart, label said "1934D"

 

I picked up a 1922 plain cent in vg+ for 3¢ in a large buy of wheat cent's a few years ago.

 

32 walking liberty half dollars, price, $16.
Also, $36 face (including walkings) of silver coins for face found cry this year.
My best deals for ebay coins is a 1916 d G maybe VG grade walking half for $10, a small z shaped scratch was the thing that helped me get it for so low. Also, two seated halves, 10 bucks each in g-vg, 1876 s and 1855o

Coin shop
Plus hundreds of 1800's copper (a couple small silvers my coin dealer throw in for me) world coins (mostly Europe and canada)

 

There are a lot but these come to mind: USSR mint set for 7.50. Sold for 310. I also got two other ones that sold for over 250, bought them together for 4. Got a silver dollar buffalo commem for 25, sold for 150 I think. About 5o silver proof statehood quarters for 70 dollars, sold for 250 I think. A west Germany proof set for 6 dollars sold for over 100.....I got all these and more from mostly flea markets, also from ebay, the occasional show, etc
