Best hit from an Economy Submission?

Figured this would be an interesting topic. What is the best grading surprise you’ve had from an Economy submission with a $300 value limit?

    About 20 years ago I sent a 1972-P Ty 2 Eisenhower Dollar in an economy submission and received an MS65 grade. That made it a $3500 coin at the time.

    The nickel came back Proof 65, and the cent is 65RD

    20 years ago, no extra charge. Today, your conservative grading is rewarded with a $10 per coin “service level charge”

    1917-D Obv Walker in 65 that later CACed. Big, big coin. Low five figures. It's at auction right now, I'll update this with what it sells for.

    Nice! Were you expecting a lower grade, or did you want to avoid the coin getting “tagged” with a crappy Trueview?

    I never understood why it cost more for PCGS to grade more valuable coins.

    Probably greater liability costs in case of an accident.
