    I've never gotten more than one 90% silver coin at a time. That is an impressive haul!

    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.

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

    @Namvet69
    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!
