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.

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