    JACKPOT!!... Well, sort of a jackpot...four quarters, four dimes, one nickel, five cents and nine Chinese coins from 500 somethings to 1 something... and a 5 Euro Cent piece. No silver, no wheaties. Cheers, RickO

    • two 1943 Lincolns (I winced when I imagined how many wheat cents the machine probably accepted that day)

    I think it rejects all Wheaties, but not positive. Would be easy enuff to test...

    Silver and a wood grain Lincoln. Nice haul.

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Silver in the coinstar is always a good find.... I am on another drought... seems like these cycles are becoming common...long drought, then one bonanza... long drought...OK, I am ready... :D Cheers, RickO

    Went to Walmart yesterday. On the way out I went by the Coinstar Machine. It took me two hand fulls to clean it out. I got .64 in cents ,nickels and a dime plus a Canadian nickel. No silver.

    Long drought here, but some improvement -

    Yesterday (9/12), Coinstar at my home grocery store yielded 3 nickels, a copper cent, and a brass token.

    Tonight (9/13), Coinstar at home grocery store produced 85 cents (including a brand new George Rogers Clark quarter), 3 coins from Kuwait and one other odd Middle Eastern coin.

    The eighty-five cents included a 1956-D Roosevelt silver dime!

  • SmudgeSmudge Posts: 9,497 ✭✭✭✭✭

    After a loong drought, today got 2 steelies and a 50d dime.

    Jackpot of sorts at the grocery store machine on Saturday. $4.15 in U.S. No silver or wheats, and a 10 pence English coin.

  • goldengolden Posts: 9,557 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Wow! What a haul.

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Nice finds guys.....I have not been near a coinstar for a couple of weeks...and a few weeks of drought before that....I did, however, find a dime (Rosie) on the floor at the airport yesterday. :D Cheers, RickO

    24 cents yesterday. 4 zinc Lincoln cents plus 2 dimes (1946 and 1960-D). My first double silver this year.

    Found a single cent in one last night. :D It wasn't even old or beat up. lol

    The one I found yesterday was. It was a Zincoln that was so corroded it was even missing part of the rim.

    I threw it into the parking lot.

    Maybe it will become a Bowtie Fantastic?

    Jackpot at my local Walmart today! Twenty-one cents in what might be the new undated plastic prototype coinage from the US Mint. The dimes look FB and even though the cent has some rim damage it still looks like a keeper. Do you think any of the TPGs will certify them. :D

    The dime is missing a date I wonder if it was struck through grease!😆

    Yesterday, 1 cent US.

    1916 Lincoln, corroded, likely a metal detector find.

    Nice fish scale. Too bad about the hole.

  • Mdcoincollector2003Mdcoincollector2003 Posts: 665 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Nice three cent look like pretty good shape exept for the whole I think it is a 1860.

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Another long drought at the Coinstar... even checked a couple in AZ when I was visiting there. Nothing.... :'( Cheers, RickO

  • fastfreddiefastfreddie Posts: 2,812 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Two clad Rossies today. I'm not sure why they were rejected. Since I first read this post I've probably scooped up at least $5 face in US, Canadian, and misc. items. Occasionally a few silver dimes. No other silver - yet! Still hoping.

    My wife was embarrassed when I left the checkout today to quickly check out the reject slot and was shocked when I showed her the two dimes I retrieved. It was a double bonus as she had to pay at the register. ;)

    Don't forget to check the dump tray as I have found coins there too.

    Thank you!

    Nothing too exciting, been a couple of weeks out of circulation post surgery. Today I got out and checked a coin machine and found $1.15 in Canadian change, no silver.

    A long drought continues.... Holidays are coming though, and jars, bags, cans and sock drawers get emptied... :D Cheers, RickO

    Just a regular dime for me the other day. Nice and new, no reason to be in the reject slot, but there it was.

  • ashelandasheland Posts: 23,175 ✭✭✭✭✭

    For some reason I CANNOT find silver though. :(

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    @SaorAlba ...That is fantastic.... I have not found any coins on the sorting counter.... heck, I haven't been finding any in the reject slot for a couple of months now...at least I think it is that long. And you get double silver.....SUPER!! Cheers, RickO

    Not a big deal, but the '44 Lincoln was kind of cool to find in an otherwise ho hum bunch.

    Local Walmart haul including a 1941 wheatie and a 65 year of 1953-D Jeff.

    How can a grown adult get so excited over seventeen cents in loose change?
