Reject Tube & Coinstar Finds

First time finding silver that wasn't a dime.

A Showbiz Pizza token and a bent dime.

 

Probably one of the coolest finds in awhile.

I noticed a cent near the back of the machine - there was actually enough space between the Coinstar and the lottery machine that I could squeeze in betwixt them. I noticed a cent and decided to get it.

So I got the cent, ho hum. But then I peeked behind the machine.

Two rolled cents from Marine World Africa USA - again - ho hum.

And this:



Apparently this is a 1960s brass frame $5 poker chip from Las Vegas. I've never seen one of these before. To have gotten behind the machine implies that this and the two rolled cents were tossed back there at some point.

 

2 Canadian quarters and 1 Bermuda 25c piece.
I honestly don't mind getting free foreign money. At least its something different to look at!

 

A little metal cross, a zincoln and a filthy dime.

Had to clean the dime off, turned out whilst cleaning it I noticed it was not a clad dime or a Canadian. Hmmmm


Turns out to be a 1959-D Roosie.

 

I know there is a coinstar machine at HEB in Livingston because I saw a large woman using it. I haven't been back lately but will certainly check it next time.

 

WOW... a silver half in a reject bin? Nice! I've found two silver quarters and around 40 silver dimes to this point...

At Coinstar machines there is a tray where all the rejected coins come out, sometimes people neglect to grab them.
Since their is a weight differential between modern clad coins and old silver ones sometimes silver coins can be found in the tray if you are persistent and have a bit of luck.

 

Gotcha! @Mad Stax many thanks for your explaining that. Great info to me

No worries. Being that the machines determine what a coin is by their dimensions, you can find world coins in the trays fairly often as well.

 

The machine I typically walk by has been dry as of late - once in awhile a single common date penny, usually nothing. It took a late night trip to the store to find anything at all.

2002 2 Euros
2003 1 Euro
2002-D Euro 10 cents
1989 UK penny
1997 Hong Kong 10 cents
1985-P nickel
2016 penny

.... and a 1962-D dime! First silver in months.

 

Our trip to the grocery yesterday turned out pretty well. I checked the coin slot and found about a dollar in change and one of the last things I'd ever expect, an 1865 2 cent piece. Not sure how that one found its way back into circulation but I am glad to give it a nice home.

 

Incredible, congratulations!

 

Pics or it didn't happen.

 

One common dime on a coinstar.
