Trasures you find while restoring slots

I got a nice surprise while restoring a War Eagle 2 months ago. The oldest coin is dated 1899. I collected coins in the past and I was able to evaluate the total numismatic value for these coins. The total value is over 550 dollars. One alone is valued at $150. What a nice surprise! Hope some of you fellows are as lucky as I was. Post your treasures here.

A few years ago, I picked up a non-working Bally/Summit dollar machine. No keys. Seller assured me there was at least $100 in coins inside, but I was skeptical, so I offered $150 for it. When I got it home, drilled the lock, and there were 155 IKE dollars in it. Eventually I got all the bugs worked out and got it working perfectly. Best slot deal I ever found:
