    I had a really tough time choosing between Riccar's 5-piece "spill" hoard and Tom's half dime, but the half dime made me the most jealous, so I had to go with it.

    I think my Indian cent might also be a minor contender, if only because of its state of preservation.

    There were some great finds this month, and wow, a lot of S-mint coins! Of course it is understandable for the California folks to find a lot of S-mints. Still, Steve's 1910-S Lincoln cent found here on the East coast deserves a nod, since it's a semi-key date. Too bad it wasn't in better shape.

    Riccar's SLQ is getting the respect it deserves.

    I am surprised that his 5-coin spill doesn't have any votes yet, as of this posting.
