What is the most unusual pocket piece that you have ever seen?

I was at a local coin shop when I bought a 1911-D St. Gaudens double eagle in an NGC holder in MS-63. It was very cheap because the holder was so badly worn that you could barely seen the coin. All traces of the hologram was worn off. The dealer explained that this was another customer's pocket peice and that he carried it every day for several years. He came on hard times and had to sell it. I paid the dealer to have it reholdered at the next big show he attended. NGC was hesitant to reholder it since the hologram was totally missing but they eventually relented and reslabbed it. It turned out to be a nice coin.
