Reject Tube & Coinstar Finds

Today, I found a dateless SLQ and three more Rosies (all 64s).

The thing is, sure, the vending machines and coin counters don't accept them. But almost all businesses accept them. And even most banks hand them out, and accept them. A loonie or twoonie will be suspect (due to our paper system), but small Canadian change is accepted around here just as US change is (so long as it's pieced in with US change).

 

A '51 Roosie & an SBA

 

Coinstar.

Can someone explain to me the proscess of getting the tube from the coinstar?

Thanks,
Sam

 

First Reject Finds!

I ended up dumping at a penny arcade a few towns away yesterday. For fun I decided to toss a clad Canadian quarter in just to see if it would kick out of the reject tube and maybe something else that might have been left behind. The angle of that tube is almost horizontal, so I really had to get my finger far behind and slide it down to the tray.

I got it back, along with an '05 Alberta Canada commem quarter and a 79-S proof SBA Type I!

 

Got a handful of Canadian from the magnet while dumping and my 4th 1943 steel wheat penny. It's got some crap on it but the details are still real nice.

Thanks.

 

Yeah, I usually have pretty good luck but Inq still puts me to shame lol

 

Today I got a 10 haliers Slovakia coin. Looked it up and their government has been taking them out of circulation.

 

Got a 2002 5 cent Ireland Euro today.

 

Some clad change zinc pennies, 2 coppers and an Ireland I cent coin from 1966

 

1 eurocent
4 canada cents
1 fiji 5 cents

from a coinstar

 

Another Roosie & '44 quarter, 2x SBA plus other assorted foreign coins, including a swiss 1/2 franc & 2x 10 Rouble.

 

'47 dime

 

Since the coin machines in my state don't reject silver, and Inq find so many Quarters from being rejected, silver Q's must be making it back into boxes in my state. Even if I got 1 silver from every $1000 searched it would be better than halves right now. I might give it a shot.

Found a dateless standing Liberty quarter in my Credit Union's machine the other day when I check the reject slot prior to putting my cents and nickels into it. I find lots of Canadian and foreign, sometimes even 2 Euro coins - but 80+ year old quarter trumps them all. No pics, my camera died and the iPod images are invalid for some reason.

 

Not to discourage you, but my current records for the year on quarters from rolls are as follows:
Rolls searched: 1431
Silver quarters found: 11

That's 0.38 quarters per box, or about 1 every 3 boxes... although about half of those 11 were from CWRs
