Pretty good coin star find today.

No silver though. But besides the Canadian and Yugoslavia coin. Those are Pretty cool going right in my world coin box. But the the other dimes, quarters, And cents are in good condition to be rejected. could it be errors as why they were rejected? There is one odd blob of shiny metal on one coin though it will be in the pictures. probably was put on there by someone. Like melted metal got dropped on it and hardened on to it.

Zinc rot

 

The person was in a rush.. looks like some of those coins could of been put back into the receiving bin. The Cent has soldering on it.

 

That looks like solder on the cent, but if I had to guess, I'd say it landed on a stove burner or something, and some of the zinc melted and flowed out of the copper shell. I've seen the same things on Zincolns that I put under a magnifying glass in the sunlight. (Don't judge me, it's a lot better than doing it to anthills. After all, ants serve some useful purposes.)

 

Awesome finds! Coin star machines scare me so I don't usually mess with them.

 

I thought it was. Something like that. I know it's not an error lol. Could be all three.. Rot, soldering, or put on a stove.

 

best of the lot is the elongated cent...

 

Lol.. What's elongated mean?

 

Flattened, someone used a pressed cent machine.

It costs 50 cents to flatten a 1 cent coin as a novelty.

 

This

 

to extend the length of. intransitive verb. : to grow in length. elongate.

 

wow, the ones i used only cost the penny that was being flattened..

 

By the way, nice finds! I don't understand why the normal quarters were rejected. Well, now you have $1.69 in normal coinage.

 

When I was in the UK, it cost 1 pound to flatten a 1 pence. What!? Not $0.50, but $1.50.

 

Oh yeah that one. It's a musium in Michigan. It's flattened out pressed with that machine thing.

 

Yes it does.

 

What year is the Canadian quarter?

 

yup, add it to your exonumia collection...

 

2006

 

This one is going in my world coin box. And it's my year.
