So im standing in line to cash a few scratch tickets right now and the coinstar machine is right there, I looked and didnt see anything so I walked up close and right at the edge I see a dime.

    I've found several car wash tokens in the coinstar reject slots myself - just wish I knew where the car washes that take them are so I could wash my car!

    Great haul... and a silver dime as well....Congratulations... I have not found any coinstar coins in at least a month... maybe longer....Cheers, RickO

  • bigtime36bigtime36 Posts: 961 ✭✭✭✭

    3rd silver dime in a month and only my 5th time looking. I'd say I'm off to a pretty good start.

    Same machine today, checked it when entering store and nothing. When I left there was a handful of change and tokens in reject slot. Plus this silver!

    I forgot to post here last week... found 9 quarters, five dimes, three cents... all modern, no silver. Still, was great to get a handful of change after a long drought. Cheers, RickO

    It wasn’t a coin star but at my bank coin counter. I was dumping my quarters after searching for W’s. None found yet unfortunately for me :'( but when I went to dump, there was a ‘67 silver half sitting in the reject tray just waiting for me. :) . My biggest piece of silver so far! I usually find silver Rosie’s, but a barber dime is my best so far. No silver quarters for some reason.

    Bamboozled Again!! Lol

    It's all about what the people want...

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    @Kliao....Congratulations on the silver half.... I have never found a silver half (or any half dollar) in the reject slot. Cheers, RickO

    Nice find...Once in a while someone empties old sock drawers or boxes and these old timers show up....There are other reasons too.... ;) Cheers, RickO

    This is my first half. Never thought there would be one since mostly the only people that dump them are from CRH
