You'll need to post a photo.
But, generally Coinstar machines reject silver. I found about $14 fave value in a reject slot once.
Here is an active thread with 35 pages of coinstar finds by other forum members, have at it 🙂

While it could be embellished, it is also 100% possible.

That will go on pretty much forever, just saying
there is one at my local supermarket. guess i'm going to add it to my daily routine. bank teller told me silver certificates are starting to show up in circulation.
My daughter and I love checking the coinstar machine at the grocery store every time we're there. Tons of cool foreign coins and some silver now and then too. Fun stuff.
I once fo$10 face in silver quarters in my credit union's coin machine. Also have found silver halves and silver dollars.
It's very possible!
Believe it or not I filled two and half pockets of change in the reject hole, once. It was well over $50 in change. No silver, just a malfunctioning Coinstar, and whoever put it in just left it.
It was right next to where I worked and I checked it three times a day, two breaks and lunch. Found a bit of silver but not really too much. Lot's of foreign and bent and damaged stuff but all spendable.

I check the Coinstar reject slot every time I pass one.... have found big amounts, and - most frequently - nothing at all. And yes, have found silver quarters and dimes... most frequently, Roosevelt silver dimes. Lots of foreign coins too. Cheers, RickO
