    That's a heck of a find for a coinstar. I usually find a canadian penny.

    Are you going to try to get that green crud off with some acetone?

    Think it's been there for the last 100 years?!imageimage

    Great find!!

    (I wonder if an older collector may have "seeded" the return slot to attract YN's? I thought I heard of some folks who did that on prior threads........ even if so, looks like it worked!

    Just imagine how hard the coin world would flip upside down if the date was 1913. image

    Wonder why it was rejected? The nickel is the one I'd think is least likely to be spit back out.

    I am curious why it got rejected as well

    is it counterfeit?

    the denticles look funny, the wear/toning on the face look odd
    there seems to be a bent/flat area on edge near 4 o'clock


    can you check the weight?

    I had the same thought. The specs for that coin should be the same as our current nickel. The green crud may have had something to do with it being rejected.

    Very nice find. I finally figured out why I never find anything in the coinstar reject slot. While standing in the check out line, I saw two store employees pass by... and both slowed and checked the reject bin. Mystery solved. Cheers, RickO
