    You'll need to post a photo.

    But, generally Coinstar machines reject silver. I found about $14 fave value in a reject slot once.

    While it could be embellished, it is also 100% possible.

    My daughter and I love checking the coinstar machine at the grocery store every time we're there. Tons of cool foreign coins and some silver now and then too. Fun stuff.

    Believe it or not I filled two and half pockets of change in the reject hole, once. It was well over $50 in change. No silver, just a malfunctioning Coinstar, and whoever put it in just left it.
    It was right next to where I worked and I checked it three times a day, two breaks and lunch. Found a bit of silver but not really too much. Lot's of foreign and bent and damaged stuff but all spendable.

    I check the Coinstar reject slot every time I pass one.... have found big amounts, and - most frequently - nothing at all. And yes, have found silver quarters and dimes... most frequently, Roosevelt silver dimes. Lots of foreign coins too. Cheers, RickO
