Like many here, I always check the "reject" receptacle on the Coinstar at the grocery store. Pickings have been nil for a few weeks. Today there were two Lincolns. Nice original surfaces, a 1918 that was a solid F and a 1930 in about-VF. I'll bet there were a lot more wheatbacks that made it through the machine sort and were accepted. Makes me wonder what the original dump contents were.

Now listen boy, I'm tryin' to teach you sumthin' . . . . that ain't no optical illusion, it only looks like an optical illusion.

I started looking about a year ago and have found a silver quarter and 3 silver dimes plus other misc coins.
I found 3 1943 steel cents this week! Those are always fun and Coinstar always rejects them!
A year ago?!
I found a lot of good silver before then, so I guess I should be happy for less competition.
My best score was almost $14 face in 90% silver, and it was several years ago when silver was at an historic high.
More recently I found a handful of half dollars at the bank's machine, most of which were 40% silver.
Coin machines are often a better opportunity to find silver than roll searching.
picked out a 64 d kennedy half dec 2023 out of a coin star as well. what a dumbfounded look (with a smile) i had . congrats on the find to of yours
