    I've never gotten more than one 90% silver coin at a time. That is an impressive haul!

    All glory is fleeting.

    That's really hitting the jackpot! I found two silver dimes on separate occasions, checking the Coinstar at the Walmart.
    One was a Mercury.

    But $1.55 in 90% in the reject bin just waiting for me to snatch it up!? Stuff of dreams...

    Jesus said, "If those who lead you say to you, 'See, the kingdom is in the sky,' then the
    birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will
    precede you. Rather, the kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you. When you
    come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realize that it is you
    who are the sons of the living father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in
    poverty and it is you who are that poverty."--- Gospel of Thomas (Lamdin translation)

    FYI - That's a Blue Crane, not an Ibex. An Ibex is a mountain antelope species, not a bird.

    Awesome haul, though!!

    @mbogoman
    Thanks for the catch on the bird, I stand corrected.

    @Namvet69
    The Coinstar is at a Kroger grocery, corner of Barracks Road & Emmett in Charlottesville VA.

    My previous best haul (2021) was two circ Mercs, a Loonie, and some Chucky Cheese tokens.

    I just came back from northern Michigan. Stopped at the grocery store on Saturday. Pick up $1.87 out of the reject slot. All clad and some cents.

    Nice score!

    It is not that life is short, but that you are dead for so very long.

    @mbogoman got it right - the Blue Crane. But I knew there was an "I-bird" somewhere and it turns out its an ibis, which is awfully easy to confuse with an ibex. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibis

    Now, back to the point: NICE haul at CoinStar!
