Best Circulation Find of My Life

I was over a friend of mine's house a few weeks ago. He is a genius scientist with more money than time. His apartment was littered with bowls and jars of change. Since I have more time than money, I agreed to roll it all for him. I only asked that I could buy any of the coins for face value. The results:
Out of $220.00 in quarters---Nothing
Out of $20.00 in Nickels-- Nothing
out of $50.00 in dimes--- one 1964 90% silver
out of $9.50 in Lincolns--- 1983 DDR, Red. VF condition, obverse green splotch---Net grade F.
I know that this does not make me a rich man, but I was getting sick of looking through so much change with so little payoff. I had never seen an '83 DDR, and had no idea the doubling was so dramatic. My hands were trembling too much to hardly roll after that. My prior best circulaton find was a '37 Buff in VF.
The price guides don't list a price for low-end '83 DDRs. Any guesses as to Value would be appreciated.

cool find of yours
probably a hundred bux or close to it I'd guess if the green isn't awful or can be safely removed.

Takes time, but it might just pay off!
