Firstly; I apologize for the quality of the following pics, my phone sucks. Secondly; I apologize for the size. Couldn't reduce them and still get a decent pic, so...
Anywhoo... I check my local Coinstars (3 of them) regularly and very seldom find anything in them at all (Guessing someone gets to them before I do). And when/if I do find something, it's usually something totally unremarkable.
Last night's finds are a different story...
Wow...That is indeed a remarkable coinstar haul.... I have never found a Barber coin in a coinstar....Overall, silver Rosies and a Barber... great haul. Cheers, RickO
Nice find.... My coinstars (2) have been void of coins for the last week... I guess all the coin jars and sock drawers have been emptied now.... Oh well...will still keep checking for that '55 DDO.... Cheers, RickO

Wow.... a Barber dime??? I sure do live in a coin deprived area....either that, or all the old collections are in attics or cellars still waiting to be released... Cheers, RickO

About 90% of this Canadian change has come from our local Coinstars. $2, $1 Loonies and a couple silver dimes. Helps that we are just across the bridge or tunnel from Windsor, ON. Think last check was about $18.00 in change.
Have found plenty over the years. American,, wheat Lincolns, silver dimes(Couple mercury dimes), plenty of foreign. Pickings are getting slimmer lately now that the secret is out!
Nice finds .... For me, pickings have been zero lately.... maybe the weather is keeping shopping trips short...Not even foreign coins lately. Oh well, maybe today...Cheers, RickO
Found two cents stuck together in the reject slot today.... have not separated them yet. One new, the other older... will check and report later. Cheers, RickO
OK...dug the cents out of my pocket... It is a 2020 cent glued to a 2009 cent... obviously some kids attempt at a two headed coin for flipping....surprised to see a 2020 cent though...Cheers, RickO
Tried to separate the two cents I found...must be really good glue... tried to pop them apart with a knife in the separation... did not work... I think the next is acetone...Stay tuned for the next thrilling installment of "The Joined Coins Saga" Cheers, RickO

I've found more than a few dozen of them - sometime I will post a picture of the bag of damaged coins that I have found in coinstars, roll searches, on the ground etc. It is a large like 5 kilogramme bag. Lots of cents, dimes and quarters and even one half dollar. For some reason, maybe the thickness or composition of the nickel - they are not too common to find damaged. Oh, and I have 7 Ike dollars that someone had glued to a poster or something and I cannot figure out how to get the glue off of.

@SaorAlba... I imagine what you got from your daughter was nail polish remover... that is NOT pure acetone and will not work nearly as well.... I suggest you get some pure stuff from the hardware store... It comes in handy around coins...and other applications. Cheers, RickO

How 'bout a small propane blower? Seriously. It might soften the glue/adhesive or whatever loose?
What I meant was a blow torch.

Don't rush it, the ranges will be open again and I'm sure @ricko could hit the coins at 100 yds.

Yesterday I found three quarters in the reject slot... all new, no silver....But hey, beats a poke in the eye...
Cheers, RickO
No silver yet, but found this a few minutes ago.
My YouTube Channel
860 Costa Rican Colones. Worth about $1.25. Looked good at first.
If you can find doughnut money, that's good too!

Surprised the heck out of me for sure. At first I thought it may be fake as there's absolutely no reeding left, but I'm hoping it's real.
It looks real. An explanation for the missing reeding is that the coin is so worn

Wow...That is indeed a remarkable coinstar haul.... I have never found a Barber coin in a coinstar....Overall, silver Rosies and a Barber... great haul. Cheers, RickO
Wow. A barber quarter, a silver dime, steel cent, silver Swiss franc, two Canadian dollar coin, and some other stuff.
First find of 2020, Canadian quarter found at Coinstar in my local Walmart yesterday. Not silver, but something different.
@theseos ....Welcome aboard....Nice coinstar find.... Are you a coin collector other than at the coinstar? Cheers, RickO
Anyone know what happened to @georgiacop50 and why he was banned?
@ricko thank you. Used to be a coin collector years ago sold my collection during difficult times. Now just mainly Coinstar
Just left Walmart. Got a nickel and two pennies. But the nickel is a decent 1939-S.
Funny, just found one of those myself at a Coinstar.
Excellent transaction with: ffcoins, Proofmorgan, fivecents, MorganMan94
Hopefully yours has fewer rim dings. But still, a nice surprise. You never know what you're going to find.
A bit better than yours, but not great. VF35 my guess, using photograde.

What a coincidence... I also found a nickel and two cents at the coinstar...a '71 Jefferson and '71 & '77 cents....Cheers,. RickO
Not a bad day - no silver, but the €4.21 is worth almost $5!
Nice find.... My coinstars (2) have been void of coins for the last week... I guess all the coin jars and sock drawers have been emptied now.... Oh well...will still keep checking for that '55 DDO....
Cheers, RickO
That is a really rare circ. find.
Found a nice 1937-D Lincoln in the Bin.

@DoctorK....Nice way to break the slump.... and a silver quarter as well.... Congratulations... Cheers, RickO
Awesome!

@SaorAlba....Just a quick question... Have you tried acetone? That will remove most glues since they are organic. Cheers, RickO
Yes, I pilfered some from my teenage daughter and it was a no work but got griped at about solution
