I just curious what's the most valuable cent people here have found. I'm curious if anybody has found a VDB-S, 1914-D, flying eagle, valuable error, etc.

I got a 1909 VDB from a $25 box last year.
It hasn't grown an "S" yet.
I found an over stamped '87 face with a stuck reverse last week from a CWR last week. |
There's profit if you melt things!!

I've found two of them during my hand sorting ... one had corroded, the other would probably grade AU. Sold the bad one for $50.00 and the AU for $70.00 to a coin dealer. Don't know what he will sell them for. Depending on condition, if you sell it, you should be able to get 50.00 - 150.00 (IMHO and also my not too well informed opinion  )

Cool posts everyone. Reading about finds like this is what keeps me so excited hoping I too can find something really valuable. Although a mere IH would be wonderful to find. I know, I'm just dreaming!!!
Continued success, everyone. |

| It's funny how spending a buck fifty at a coin shop just is not the same as pulling an IH. |

Sorry I wasn't more explicit  Both my 1984s were doubled ear lobe, chin and part of beard. Again, as was mentioned by another, DDO says it all!
Have found a 2000 Wide 'AM', but evidently they are quite common and of not much value?
