    No, not in over 50 years!

    I haven't yet either. But I haven't been looking for no 50 years either.

    One can only hope, I guess. Sooner or later something may turn up.

    I have found a high grade 1983 DDR Lincoln that graded 64 RB, and multiple 1974 D DDO Kennedy Halves in 64 or better!

    Just one coin, a 1931-S Lincoln cent in AU (which I got in change more than 40 years ago). But I still haven't sent it in.

    I got a miss-printed and miss-cut 5 dollar bill once and an off cent nickel form 1970 something but I never sent them in.

    My son received a 1995 DDO Lincoln from McDonald's. Sent it in and it came back 65RD.

    Nothing worth it to me. In fact, I've never found a coin anywhere (including dealer inventories, auctions, etc.) that to me was worth certifying. I've seen a lot of them that to me were worth UN-certifying, though.
    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

    Yes, without a doubt. I've gotten one wheat cent with full mint red. In change!

    But, I am a raw collector. So I didn't send any, and have no intentions of sending in any.

    yes- I had a quarter that wouldn't work in a pop machine ; turns out it was struck on half dollar stock when certified by ANACS !

    I must have stepped in it.
    I got this out of the change drawer in a register.
    Cost me 10 cents
