Coinstar finds from this morning....

Rob41281Rob41281 Posts: 2,402 ✭✭✭✭✭

From my own change jar! I keep a plastic container in the center console of the car to throw all my change in and go cash it in once it gets fairly full. I very rarely/never check out my change, just toss it right into the container. Ran it through the machine and these were left in the bin after counting was complete. Also had a 2006 quarter that it wouldn't accept, it seems a bit off and maybe feels a bit light, maybe counterfeit? It's looks like a sandwich compared to the average quarter. No scale so don't have a definite answer on the weight. Any ideas?

    Great Score, from your own change!
    A private club I belong to had a Vegas Night and I brought a bunch of pill bottles, each holds precisely $10.00 in Quarters.
    I dumped one out in front of me, "RING", a nice 1962 that looked BU!
    Glad I found it.

    Cool! What? No Chuckie Cheeze Coins? :D
    One More Thing... Don't forget to check if that Merc.'41 isn't a 411/2

    Are you sure they are from 'your' change' or were they in the reject bin before you got there? :smile:

    You had that 41/42 sitting in your car? ;)
    Always cool to find some silver!

    A mild nitric acid will eat away at the rim of clad coinage, the most vulnerable spot. Better than my broken paper clip find.

    Nice finds, mercs no less.

    Nice...two Mercs.... I agree with the comment above about checking the reject bin before you dump your coins...I know I would have seen Mercs in change.... I always do a 'scan' before putting the change in my pocket...Cheers, RickO

    Always nice to find something you didn't know you had.That sandwich quarter might not be heavily circulated.Less chance of being rubbed down.

    BST references several
