    After 6 months of checking the Coinstar at the local Wally-World...I finally found one!

    In my book, silver in that reject slot is Coinstar Gold. Congratulations, and may there be many more....

    All in my area are free...just have to spend the proceeds in the store it is in.

    It's bad enough that those machines take around 9% of your money in commissions, but on top of that they give your silver coins to total strangers!

    JBK: What I wouldn't give to have a similar experience!! Congrats! Any rarer dates among the pile?

    No, all common, earliest was a well worn 1935. Most were from the early 60s, but fun just the same. Looked like a pile of silver that someone might have pulled from circulation in the 70s or so.

    Total count was 56 silver quarters, 21 silver dimes, and $1.20 in modern coins.

    I still can't believe it.....

    I keep thinking about the person who dumped their coins into the machine for grocery money and left over $150 in melt behind.

    That is STUPENDOUS!

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    I once found a small pile in one, but it was all modern change and a little foreign. Still cool none the less. :)

    Today's Coinstar find. 1962-D. Don't hate me (for the terrible pic) !

    Always looking for original, better date VF20-VF35 Barber quarters and halves, and a quality beer.

    @OnlyGoldIsMoney.... That is amazing.... I have never found such a vintage coin in the coinstar.... even with the hole, that is a great find. Cheers, RickO

    COIN STAR at the local grocery yesterday...

    Is that Metro token (1973) still good in DC or is it all via cards these days?

    My wife spotted three clad dimes in a cluster on the way to the car the day before. I can't believe I missed them,

    it's crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide

    Man some of you folks are hitting the jackpot. A humble find, but yesterday I bagged a 64 Roosie with some nice toni..tarnish and a clad washie that must have been stuck in a dryer for 10 years, I like the washie more : )

    I swear...... NONE of the Coinstars in my local stores EVER have anything! I feel embarrassed to go scrounging around there in plain view of everyone, but somebody must be beating me to them every time...... I even went right up to one in my local ACME the second 2 different ladies walked away from dumping their coins in it, only to find ZILCH each time! :(

    Last five visits have produced Nothing, Nothing, Nothing, Nothing and Bingo-a 1957 dime today!

    That's two silver dimes within the last six months or more silver coins that I found in this period of time since about 1972.

    Found 2 stuck-together Zincolns, a ratty post-64 Washie, and a semi-grungy 1979 Canadian quarter in the reject bin of my local credit union the other day when dumping coins in the counter. First time for me (both checking there & finding stuff).

    This week has been lousy, just a couple of zincolns and a plastic play cent.

    What are those pieces on either side?

    Found $2.30 in one handful at a Walmart's coinstar on August 24th.

    Two silver quarters (1959-D and 1963-D) made it worth walking the few steps out of my way to check.

    Wow...$2.30 including two silver quarters... now that is a haul... Cheers, RickO
