Coming back from feeding the Cats, Mexican store nothing, Nob Hill nothing. Safeway, no silver but $2 in quarters, some change, a 10 Pasco and a 25 cent Canadian piece...
Never find anything ... last night wife had to run into Walmart to pick up photo order, checked the coin star, 42 cents, 4 dimes , 2 pennies, one of the dimes was a 64D. Photo order was not ready as order was never processed. Went back this morning, 27 cents, 1 quarter, 2 pennies. The quarter was a shiny 64D.

Today’s find: 1962-D! This is my second Coinstar silver this year and my sixth overall. It was all by itself on the ground about a foot in front of the machine.

Found this and others in a machine as me and a friend were given over 50 coin machines to trash.
Or for a better word, to recycle. Coins were everywhere in side the housing and attached to a very , very powerful magnet. I really don't want to explain the who, what, or where and how part.
I may have told and showed this years ago but all are still in hand. This steel
coin looks great for it's age.

It's 56 Day! Just found 56 cents worth of coins with a dead rubber band stuck to them so we know why they were rejects;
56 cents worth of absolutely normal coins that should NOT have been rejected;
and the Grand Champion dryer coin of all time that anybody would reject:

First, we now have 59-year old coins in change again, and
Second, I can remember when I got my first 1965 Quarter. Late 1965 or early 1966 up at our corner candy store. The lady who ran it was nice, and she sometimes had her elderly father helping out at the cash register while she stocked the shelves. He was ancient (to me then) with really thick glasses.
A couple of us went up there after school, and I bought something that should have given me a dime and a nickel and three cents in change, but when I went outside and looked at my change (hey, I was a collector!) I found a dime, three cents and a bright and shiny COPPER-NICKEL quarter. I quickly guessed that the old guy had mistaken it for a five cent piece because of his bad eyesight, and it was grey like a nickel instead of white like a silver quarter. Because the lady was nice I went back in and showed it to her and explained the change in color to her, so she could figure out how to get her father to look at the change more closely. Back then 20 cents was worth something, and she could have lost a lot of money if her Dad gave away a whole roll of clad quarters as nickels.

Just a FAB,ULOUS find.

That's "all" folks.
Today at the WM I did a quick check of the CS and found this behind the lift tray, against the back wall. All I saw at first was the 55 and my mind began to instantly fantasize about snagging a 1955 DD from a CS. Then I saw the D and my hopes were dashed. It was an exhilarating 1.2 seconds though.
Having fun while switching things up and focusing on a next level PCGS slabbed 1950+ type set, while still looking for great examples for the 7070.
Lightning strikes twice!
Same Coinstar, same store, twice in a row! This time it was under the front edge of the machine. This 1963 is my third Coinstar silver of the year and my seventh overall.

T my local Kroger yesterday. $1.52 in really dirty change. The dimes and the quarters in the bottom row have the reeded edge completely gone as if in a lathe or something and the cent in the upper right turned into a small screwdriver (I think I'll keep it).
it's crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide
A 1961-D dime, was sitting in the return all by itself..
A 1943-P War Nickel, this was not in the return, it was lodged in the input-slit, I used my business card like tweezers to get it out. As soon as I saw the large P mint mark, I knew it was a war nickel..
Some Lincoln's that were left, always nice to get an early Wheat, and a 1960...
Interesting mix, (left at the Mexican store) 2-Deutschemarks (65 & 72), a Canadian 25 cent piece, and a James Buchanan dollar..

The quarters, nickel and cent have DD and CAC
The ‘65 quarter is a no P with halo effect strike at 90°

1954 Philly, sitting in the return slot all alone, was so bright and shiny I had to turn my head while I reached in... The streak continues!!!

2 cents, I didn’t bother to pick them up.
Leave no coin behind....
Very Surprised to find a giant Yap stone coin in the reject slot at the HappyMart!

It's official, no silver in July, the streak is over. It was a nice run, but still disappointed to see i end. Let's see August...
August finds so far, fairly interesting...
A 1961-D dime, was sitting in the return all by itself..
A 1943-P War Nickel, this was not in the return, it was lodged in the input-slit, I used my business card like tweezers to get it out. As soon as I saw the large P mint mark, I knew it was a war nickel..

It has been months since I've found anything at all. Sure sign of bad times, not even the corroded Zincoln is left behind
