what is the most valuable or rare coin you have found in circulation?

I've found 3 of the 99 wams, a MS-62 1983 DDR. My best find was a 1916D Merc in G-4 condition.

I won't win any accolades here, because my most valuable find, if one could even call it that, remains a late 50s era Roosevelt dime. Nice to find, of course, but no windfall. For paper money, I did once receive a 1950s silver certificate directly from a bank teller. I saw something unusual fly past as he counted the bills into my hand. I didn't even know what it was until I walked out of the bank. Again, not the Holy Grail or an original Delacroix, but still an interesting thing to see circulating.

 

1955 dd Lincoln in AU a few years ago. Got it back in change at McDonalds

 

Hmmm wonder if you went to the same Mcdonalds that gave me my 1995 DDO? If so maybe everyone here should frequent that particular Micki D's lmbo!

I haven't found anything valuable. But over the years, I've found several die varieties of a few state quarters, several proof coins, and a handful of late 50's, '60-'64 silver coins.
