It always amazes me what people will try and cash in with no idea what they have. Ask most people on the street and they probably have no idea that the change in their pocket is NOT silver or what it is worth. So why not just drop it in the coin machine. Check your new find may be worth $495 on eBay because of its low grade! (Other thread reference)
That's a winner for sure. I can imagine the sound that makes when it plunked down into the reject slot.
I found my second silver coin in the reject slot today. I found that 90% of the time the reject slot is empty, but today I found: 1962 dime 2003 dime 2005 cent fake plastic penny 2004 10 groszy coin (poland)
Least productive Coinstar produced 84 cents Including a 1943 steelie 1953 D Wheatie And many world coins 45 Canadian cents 1 Piso pilipinas Several pence coins and a few car wash tokens and a quarter slug Total 84 cents USD
I walked into the store tonight and saw a jackpot. I was hoping it was all silver, but it wasn't. I got $11.75 U.S. quarters, 3 U.S. nickels, $1.75 in Canadian quarters, one of which is a 1968 50% silver quarter (non-magnetic), a cayman islands 25 cent piece, Canadian dime, two Canadian nickels, a 5 cent piece from the Bahamas, and a 1964 British six pence.
Another store awhile ago this evening, a Zambian 1 Ngwee dated 1982, a little dime sized copper coin.
Today Coinstar produced 2 clad Quarters 2 Zincolns To add .52Cents to my monthly. Still looking for a monthly Silver coin. Only a week left. Aaargghh
