I'm past caring. I walked in, right to the machine, check the slot. I do not understand this machine.
Cheers to you. I'm similar. My story.... The supermarket we do our shopping has the self checkout (where we cash out) over by the exit doors. The CS machine is on the opposite side of the front end and located on the 'paid' side of the registers. I'll have a full cart, walking the length of the store to the self checkout. However, before I get that far I'll leave my cart unattended, walk through a 'closed' register aisle to reach the CS machine, just to check it of course. So walking nonchalant to give a sideways glance at the machine is off the table. I blatantly draw attention to myself and go visit the purveyor of occasional free silver with no care in the world. I'm way passed the stage of caring what others think of my harmless actions. Now if I'd only find some spoils to make my trip worthwhile I'd be a happy camper. Been very dry for finds for many many months now.
Pulled a nice .35 today in the slot, 2 coins. The other day a sticky 15 cents. Only the dime and 1 penny required warm water. Then I got a 50-D wheatie in my change from the fruit store.
It's always nice to find something that isn't a pair of nasty stuck-together coins or a barely recognizable Lincoln Cent.
This weeks find. I can't believe this coin was in circulation. The pictures don't really show it, but it looks like it came straight from the mint. Not a mark or any wear at all.
Mountain Man if that coin is silver it's a proof. Test it with a magnet. Nice score in the Coin Star. I haven't pulled a half dollar in years.
I had a nice Coinstar haul recently! The two foreigns were in the reject tray. My mom noticed the token on the grate of the machine. 2558 BE (2015 CE) Thailand 10 Baht 2007 India 1 Rupee, Calcutta Mint ABC Automated Batting Cages / J&J Amusements token from Salem, Oregon I had been wanting a bimetallic from a new country for a while now and so I was very excited with this one!
Found a small scoop last week in the Harris-Teeter machine -- a 5 baht, an 11-cent piece (cent and dime crudded together), a few zincolns, and a 1964 dime.
