Is that from one find or over a period of time?

 

South Korea.... apparently they still wear hats like that these days..... lol. If I was a ruler of the land and you said you would put my picture wearing that kind of hat, I'd be like NUT Uhhhhh. Heck noooo lol

 

100 won from South Korea. Korea national hero Admiral Yi Sun-sin (1545-1598). Worth about $.09

 

One cent on the floor in front of a coinstar.

 

Found a 1952 dime under the machine.

 

Not sure when I'll get close to a Coinstar.
Maybe Cleveland HEB but maybe not.
We'll see what tomorrow brings.

 

Ive gotta start checkin some more

 

Found the cleanest steel cent I've ever seen in the return at my local credit union last week. The picture really doesn't do the coin justice at all.

 

Oh my...... o.o. That's nicer than the one I found. Really jealous of this one ahaha. I hear that there is a magnate that collects steel stuff so it doesn't clog the flow of coins. When it starts to get full of metal, you tend to find a lot of the steel cents until they clean off the magnate. I hope to own a coinstar one day

 

Didn't get to Cleveland HEB today. But there is always tomorrow...

 

Gives it more time to fill up

 

That is the cleanest steelie I've ever seen as well! It couldn't be plated could it? I tried zooming in to see the signs but it got a little blurry on the blowup.

 

Hmmmm now that you mention that. I'm curious lol

 

Not trying to be a Debbie downer it just looks a little different from the unc steeliness I have. Either way the finish looks cool.

 

probably re-plated

 

I'd think if it were a replated steelie the details wouldn't be as crisp, such as the wheat sheaves showing separation on the reverse. On circulated examples the individual lines tend to just blend together. An uncirculated steelie is a very brilliant looking coin with beautiful luster. My guess is someone held onto it or it was passed down to them, they knew what they had, knew they weren't gonna get spit from an LCS and so they just dumped into a CoinStar.
Nice find nonetheless. Don't see these in the wild often, even in heavily circulated (corroded) condition.

 

Here is mine for what its worth.

 

@Mad Stax Ive seen some copper plated wheaties that the wheats are still very crisp it was just in the fields of the obverse that you could see the uneven collection of copper during the plating that gave it away. I wouldn't call it pitting but the effect was more subtle but similar.
