Not me, my wife! Late evening my daughter wanted the wife to make waffles (picture) but she didn't have sugar so they went to Safeway. She came back and handed me this... 3 nice silver quarters 52, 60 and 63....! I trained her well...
Hey Joe, is that Mexican coin a an early 1950s 25¢ ? If so it is worth about a dollar in 25% silver.

Hi Joe, The 50 pfennig coin is from West Germany. (a pfennig is roughly a "penny") 1972 was the year the Olympics were held in Munich. The F mint mark on the coin indicates the Stuttgart mint. I found out recently that the image of the lady planting a young tree sapling was meant to be symbolic of a new beginning for the country and hope for tomorrow after World War II.

Hey CR,
1952. Thanks for the heads-up!!!
You are welcome. I recently found one of these in a bin of cheap foreign coins, and that's what made me think of it.

No gutter metal but at least I didn't get skunked. 17 cents US, a British half penny and 11 cents Canadian. Someone holed the 1970 Canadian cent and counterstamped it with Free Mason logo. RGDS!
Other miscellaneous coins, including a Canadian $2 coin.
Roughly $60 worth of coins for a few seconds of lost dignity.
Wow, that's quite nice. I have only found a zincoln and an elongated zincoln this year so far.

2024- Two dimes, 1962-D, 1963-D, one quarter, 1953-D. Plus $9.60 in random change, and a few foreign coins.

I figured someone knew about pre-65 90% silver but not about 40%. Oh well, I'm the victim. 😀
Yep, those in my area know better!

That's quite a haul.
I save my Canadian, and even though the Canadian Dollar is very low right now, the few hundred dollars worth that I've built up should get me something on a future trip to Canadia.

Hey CR,
1952. Thanks for the heads-up!!!
Found this beat up dime, could not read the final digit, Go home and under a light and magnification and saw it was a 4! Ugly but silver!!
No silver and I'm guessing that this person just got back from Mexico...
Foreign coins found at CS over the years. See anything good? Oh, all Canadian and Pesos removed...
$3.01 found, only one silver dime and a proof quarter, and a dime that seems to be missing its coating.

No silver, but after months of a dry spell, I got 2 Quarters and a Dime today.

"Coin collecting for outcasts..."
A nice old Lincoln is always a good find...
I think the weirdest thing I've found in a coinstar machine, and this was in the last month, was a Mexican 1921 50 Centavos coin in VF.
"Seu cabra da peste,
"Sou Mangueira......."
I found around $1 loose change but no silver so I chunked it back in the slot.
