I've never gotten more than one 90% silver coin at a time. That is an impressive haul!
And where was this Coin star kiosk?

That's really hitting the jackpot! I found two silver dimes on separate occasions, checking the Coinstar at the Walmart.
One was a Mercury.
But $1.55 in 90% in the reject bin just waiting for me to snatch it up!? Stuff of dreams...

FYI - That's a Blue Crane, not an Ibex. An Ibex is a mountain antelope species, not a bird.
Awesome haul, though!!

Awesome, it's like finding $30 on the ground.
Nice score.

@mbogoman
Thanks for the catch on the bird, I stand corrected.

The Coinstar is at a Kroger grocery, corner of Barracks Road & Emmett in Charlottesville VA.
My previous best haul (2021) was two circ Mercs, a Loonie, and some Chucky Cheese tokens.

I just came back from northern Michigan. Stopped at the grocery store on Saturday. Pick up $1.87 out of the reject slot. All clad and some cents.
Nice score!
@mbogoman got it right - the Blue Crane. But I knew there was an "I-bird" somewhere and it turns out its an ibis, which is awfully easy to confuse with an ibex. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibis
Now, back to the point: NICE haul at CoinStar!
