I did check - no luck - all are in the range of 4.85 - 4.95 gm
based on wear.
I like finding mint state coins and here are a couple.
The 1965 cent looks suspiciously like an SMS issue.
The dime is very clean and fresh - golden Cu edges,
and maybe from an uncirculated set. Both are great
little coins.
I was the first person on Monday to use the counting machine at our credit union, so this was presumably sitting in the "Don't Forget to Check Your Tray" since Saturday.
@DCW said:
I think those are Canadian dimes @JBK
But I was more excited about the merc!
I thought dime-sized nickels were more exciting. 😵💫
But I suppose a Merc is not bad, either.
The ship on the Canadian Dime is the three mast Bluenose II. It is a Tall Ship and makes goodwill missions around the world. Saw it when I visited Lunenburg, in Nova Scotia.

My silver total for all "CoinStar" searches was a total of $0.20 face value (two 90% silver Roosevelt dimes - each one found separately, months apart).
But today I more than doubled my total silver haul with the find of this 90% silver 1964-D quarter :
I was doing self checkout at Walmart, as I was putting my CC in thinking about some cash over I looked at where the money would come out and there was a crumpled $10 bill.
After the machine printed out the receipt I reached down and grabbed my NewFound Score.
Here are some coins from machine change -
The 5 cent (Ireland) came out instead of a 1 cent
1940 Nickel
1944 Cent
2x 1951-S cents
Bottom Line - Several mint state coins - the 2016-S Harpers Ferry was a surprise !
I had over a month with nothing, then finds three times in a row yielded 14 cents, a washer, a Caiman Islands ten cent coin, and a 1977 Canadian quarter. I also got a 1943-P nickel and a 1917 wheatie in my till at work.

I was Walleye fishing in Pierre South Dakota early this week. A Walmart CoinStar gave me 3 clad quarters and 3 memorial pennies. My first find of anything in a while. Yes, the Walleye bite was on. But it was cold and rainy!
Not silver, not even a coin, laying there on the floor mostly under the machine but sticking out a bit. Would rather have silver.. Not sure why it was there other there's a lottery machine right there..
Haven't found any gutter in many months but persistence pays off, 1964 Roosie. Also 2 - 2025 Zincolns, haven't seen any of these in the wild but haven't really been looking either. I thought they were getting rid of the penny? RGDS!

VERY INTERESTING - 1972-S DIME
I THOUGHT (HOPING) IT WAS A "RARE" BUSINESS STRIKE BUT
UNDER MAG IT IS A PROOF - STILL UNUSUAL.
PERHAPS MORE UNUSUAL ALL COINS CAME OUT OF
THE SAFEWAY MACHINE IN THE SAME TRANSACTION,
INCLUDING A 1953-S CENT, AND THREE 1940'S NICKELS.
THE IRISH COIN CAME FROM A DIFFERENT TRANSACTION.
Yeah I’d be Really scrutinizing Nickels. Hennings are overweight and most likely would reject.

A good day at the Coinstar machine:
Two dimes, 1961-D and 1964-D, a 1943-S cent, a 1976-D cent.
Also a 1989 quarter with so many errors that I will be rich.
