    ok.

    here is a question.

    should I start a new thread for "Official Bank Haul Thread" or would this thread be a duplicate of that?

    One was on top of the machine & the other was on the floor halfway underneath Coinstar.
    Guess which was where?
    I needed to loupe them, otherwise I would’ve spent it :o

    Every time I go to Wal-mart, the bank and the grocery store I check the Coinstar machine. I never find anything. I have no idea how you guys do it.


    Later, Paul.

    @Stooge.... Well lately, I agree.... I used to find coins in the reject slot...at the market and the mall.... However, it has been over a month now and nothing... not even a cent...I know the clerks at the market (and even the manager) check the slot.. they must beat me to it....Cheers, RickO

    Found a PGA Tour Partners Club bronze token. About cent size. I don't play golf so it will just sit in the junk drawer.

    Got back from overseas, no coin finds there. 1st store I went to when I got back I found a 1964-D dime - since then nothing really numismatic in the last couple of weeks.

    Nothing at all in the Coinstar - I think for almost two months now... or six weeks ... or something...However, I did find a quarter on the floor at the supermarket... yippee....clad though. Cheers, RickO

    In 18 months of checking EVERY CoinStar or similar machine, I have found a total of two coins one time - both 1941 cents. On Sat while traveling in PA I stopped at a supermarket and lo and behold, I hit the jackpot. Over $3 of US and 1 Canadian 5 cent piece. No silver, and mostly recent coins (a tad bizarre that they would be rejected as they had no damage) So RickO, there is hope!!!!

    The other day found an Italian 1 Euro coin and a British tanner from 1956, otherwise just the usual Canadians and crusty zincolns.

    Well... still nothing... I have not given up, but it is discouraging. Must be close to two months since the Coinstar had anything...I have found more on the floor of the market. Cheers, RickO

    I get the opportunity to pay higher prices than coinstar very often. I like coinstar. Saves me 8% on the dollar.

    These were on top of the Coinstar inside Albertsons:

    Machine 1 - about 30-40 cent coins, nothing worth saving and put them in a donation bin.
    Machine 2 zilch
    Machine 3 '64-D dime
    Machine 4, nothing in the reject slot but looked under the machine and smelled silver, got a pen and pulled out a '46 dime.

    Two silvers in one day!

    Ricko, do you go to multiple markets or just one where you check? I usually find more at the high traffic Walmart than the smaller regional store.

    There are two...one at the mall and one at the Walmart....I most often visit the supermarket - where the checkout clerks keep a sharp eye on it - and the one at Walmart is right by the customer service desk, so a line is usually waiting right by the machine...I used to find coins about once a week... the last couple months, nothing. Cheers, RickO

    My best find was about 5 euros in various denominations. Will take this with me on my next trip out that way. Also found 5 Singapore dollars and change.

    A pile of US and the usual Canadian crop, about $1.75 in Canadian about 53c in US change and the following numismatic savers:
    1930 wheat
    1943 steel cent
    and the best part a 1928 GV Canadian 5c coin that is almost uncirculated - still has original mint bloom! Will look great in my Whitman folder, it is about a $20 coin in that grade.

    I do dislike those sticky coins... I have been dumping them in acetone... No idea what the gunk is...I had several dime/cent combinations in the July 31st haul... YUCK!! Cheers, RickO
