Way to go Joe!

Been a while since I found anything in the local Coinstar machine. Did pretty well today.

1964 and 1946 quarters. 11c in US change, C$2.50 in change, 1963 Belgium 1 Fr, and two tokens.

GaCoinGuy · January 19, 2023 5:44AM

First finds in a long time, but definitely the largest coin I have ever found in the bin. I am assuming someone thought it might pick it up as a half dollar??? The Roosie is a 21-P.

WillieBoyd2 · January 23, 2023 1:39PM

This penny was not a Coinstar find but came from a supermarket change dispenser:

US Cent 1919-S (Weight 3.00 gm)

It lost some weight during the past 100 years.

No Headlights · January 23, 2023 2:43PM

Big day for me. Publix Coinstar had a handful of change in it including 1961 and 1964 quarters. As i pulled out the handful I heard the sound of silver.

DCW · January 23, 2023 6:13PM

Hit the supermarket at the right time and was rewarded with this 57 Frankie! My first half dollar found in all the years checking the reject slot.

ricko · January 24, 2023 9:05AM

@DCW... Nice finds. In all my years of checking the Coinstar, I have found only one half dollar... a 1971 Kennedy half. Cheers, RickO

Smudge · January 25, 2023 2:43PM

64 dime today. Ends a loooong dry spell.

No Headlights · January 26, 2023 2:54AM

.38 at Walmart yesterday. Just modern stuff.

Joe_360 · January 29, 2023 8:54AM

No silver, but some US coinage and two Deutsche Marks (1950 & 1972). Also a 1971 2 Pence. Still looking for January Silver

ricko · January 30, 2023 8:43AM

@Joe_360... Nice haul... No luck for me... been quite a drought now.... Cheers, RickO

WAYNEAS · January 30, 2023 1:10PM

Was rewarded with 57 cents(no silver) today when dumping in some Kennedy halves.
I had one Kennedy that just kept getting rejected so I put it back into my coin jug for a future try.
Well guess who left the jug in the shopping cart when loading my groceries into the car?😫
So I am only plus 7 cents for the day.

SaorAlba · January 30, 2023 1:11PM

The two month silver drought has broken - hallelujah! Pics later.

The dime by itself is actually a 1963-D and was found in store #2 today.

Elcontador · January 30, 2023 4:18PM

Here's a strange one:
2 Five Ruble Coins
95 Cents US (no silver)
and 3 euros, 40 cents

ricko · February 1, 2023 6:56AM

Well, the drought is broken... Yesterday, one quarter, three Roosevelt dimes... The quarter is a super dryer coin.... That's ok though... Cheers, RickO

dhikewhitney · February 4, 2023 9:45AM

Silver dime, steel penny, 0.27 other US, 0.50 Canadian, 0.05 Euro, 2 Caribbean dimes.

tommy44 · February 8, 2023 1:40PM

No silver but $1.56 US change, 30 British Pence and 50 Euro Cent. First find in a long time.

ricko · February 9, 2023 6:10AM

Nice groups of coins @dhikewhitney and @tommy44 .... My haul yesterday consisted of one modern U.S. cent.... Oh well... Cheers, RickO

Fraz · February 9, 2023 7:56AM

Nothing for a couple of weeks.

WAYNEAS · February 9, 2023 10:24AM

Struck out today.
Wayne

No Headlights · February 9, 2023 11:17AM

Modern stuff this week. .38. I can continue my retirement.

Joe_360 · February 9, 2023 11:31AM

1st find in February 1958D dime; back-to-back months start of 2023 - Ride a hot streak I always say!

SanctionII · February 9, 2023 4:01PM

A few weeks ago I found in the Coinstar reject bin at a local Safeway a Canadian dime and a 1964D Roosevelt dime. First silver strike in a long, long time.

Joe_360 · February 9, 2023 6:21PM

I said it once, I said it twice, ride a hot streak like Secretariat! Two for Thursday! 2nd of the day, a 1960D (my birth year) dime

ricko · February 10, 2023 8:05AM

@Joe_360... Always nice to find silver.... but definitely not FB Cheers, RickO

@Joe_360... I know you are joking.... but just in case... FB = Full Bands.... Cheers, RickO

Joe_360 · February 10, 2023 4:20PM

i would have a hard time believing it also, 3 silver dimes in 2 days. Must be people cashing in for Super Bowl beer & chips?!?
This time a 1963D. @ricko and no FB! again... lol

DCW · February 11, 2023 10:16AM

No silver today, but 38 cents and a Canadian Moose.

Hey, it's more than I had in college!

SaorAlba · February 12, 2023 2:47PM

No silver, unfortunately but a really cool 97 year old Greek 20 lepton from 1926:

The wheat is a 1941, the Canadian is a 1942.

Caribou, not moose.

Joe_360 · February 17, 2023 4:19PM

Close but no cigar (D) Sitting all by itself, 1914 Lincoln, not pretty but the D would have made prettier.

ricko · March 3, 2023 8:01AM

Yesterday.... Two new Roosevelt dimes in the Coinstar.....Well, the drought has broken. Cheers, RickO

Fraz · March 3, 2023 11:21AM

Zilch, for weeks now.

Joe_360 · March 5, 2023 4:40PM

First find for March! 1964D dime.

Joe_360 · March 6, 2023 4:00PM

2nd for March, ride a hot streak, 1963D

Jzyskowski1 · March 7, 2023 1:34PM

Finally
13 cent. ☑️
All recently released ( last 15-20 years).
Been awhile and I’m thinking there must be competition for our rural machine.
Free money. This has been a pretty good last 30 days. A free $25 roll of presidential dollars ( thanks Jack at RCTV )
And some coinstar donations. This machine tends to kick out coins with impunity.

Bamaphil · March 8, 2023 9:07AM

1920 Wheatie yesterday.✌️

Joe_360 · March 11, 2023 4:20PM

Not bad, an 1887S Seated Liberty Dime found! Along with some shiny cents, Canadian coins and a Chucky Cheese token.

DCW · March 11, 2023 6:47PM

@Joe_360
Not bad? That's amazing!

I found 5 dirty Memorial cents on my last trip. Not postworthy

dcarr · March 13, 2023 12:39AM

I still have never found any silver in a CoinStar.
But I did come up with a small group with odd items recently.

(4) ordinary (non-silver) Roosevelt Dimes (one with a very odd mechanical wear pattern).
(1) 2020-D "Bat" quarter.
(3) older Jefferson Nickels - 1939-[P], 1940-S, 1947-D.
(3) modern Japanese coins of no significance.
(1) 1991-M Russia Rouble Government Bank issue (a 1-year type from the last year of the Soviet Union, Krause Y # 293).
(1) Spain 1957-63 5 Pesetas (this is actually a key date coin, but only has value in higher grade than this one).
(1) 2001 Chuck-E-Cheese brass token (young rat type).
(1) red plastic "1" Missouri sales tax token.
(1) 1957 Greece 2 Drachmai (more on this one below).

It turns out the the Greek coin is also a key-date and it does have some value in AU as it appears that 98% of the mintage is heavily worn. A similar coin, with a smidgen more wear sold on eBay recently for $24 plus $8 ship:
https://ebay.com/itm/285097374846
So this is a decent coin that I will actually put in my collection of lower-value foreign coins.

DCW · March 13, 2023 3:49AM

Nice ones, @dcarr ! Whatever the value, you just can't beat "free."

Jzyskowski1 · March 13, 2023 4:49AM

@dcarr Thanks for posting. I find that those dang “ machines “ draw a wider variety of folks and an interesting variety of stuff found. Not a lot of places where everyone from the smaller collectors to folks like you who are in the business and those with massive collections and/or fabulous registry sets can enjoy such a simple way to have fun 👍🏼

ricko · March 13, 2023 5:21AM

@Joe_360... Wow... A 1887S Seated Liberty Dime. I have never found anything close to that one... Great find. Cheers, RickO

tommy44 · March 14, 2023 1:01PM

At a Kroger that I don't frequent very often. Nothing on the way in but JACKPOT on the way out. 45 cents in change and 85 cents in 90% silver. First silver find in a long time.

DCW · March 14, 2023 1:23PM

@tommy44
Nice coins, but really bad photos! You gotta back the lens up a little to focus, my friend

ricko · March 15, 2023 6:39AM

@tommy44 ... Great find... Lots of silver. No good luck for me lately, yesterday, just a cent, and that was on the floor in front of the Coinstar. Cheers, RickO

No Headlights · March 15, 2023 7:17AM

I found 37 cents in the parking lot of one of the Smoky Mountains visitor center parking lots. Not much, but a great morning for a walk.

ZoidMeister · March 17, 2023 6:39PM

My first Coinstar find in months that hasn't been rotted Zincolns, which just aren't worth keeping, and definitely not worth posting.

A bent 2000-D Lincoln
1937 Belize 25 Cent Piece
1968 Canadian 25c Moose
A couple Nashville Bass Pro Shop elongaged
5 Pence piece (need to check the date)
2016 Bahamian Quarter

Whoever dumped these, has been around and got around.
