I Found a Shield Nickel at The Local Coinstar!

After a six-month drought, the local Coinstar machine finally yielded something better than a moldy Zincoln or a solitary foreign coin in the reject slot; a well-circulated 1869 Shield Nickel. Although it's a cull, it is still by far one of my most interesting Coinstar reject slot finds to date.

Now that is cool. I once got a worn flat V-nickel in change at the beach... I couldn't imagine finding a shield nickel in the wild. That's very cool!

 

It's Ugly as Sin but it's a Shield . Probably a Metal Detector's find for sure .

 

Crazy! Would love to know the story of how that particular coin ended up in the CoinStar!

 

Very nice!

 

coming for you soon. Taking a trip right now to see if I can hit every coinstar in a 20 mile radius.

Love the find.. but now that one will be hard to beat!

 

With the excess of fools in this world, there's a good chance that I might find something even better down the road.

 

Yeah, down the road leading to @CoinJockey73 's house .

 

Well, Sal, I don't think @CoinJockey73 lives anywhere near suburban Nashville.

 

Are you calling me a fool?

 

You're correct. Metro NY area, over here. But your neck of the woods sounds lovely.
(I think @SensibleSal66 called me a fool )

 

Who ? Me ?

 

I'll give you my five cents in exchange.

 

No thanks. However, I appreciate your interest @potty dollar 1878.

 

I wasn't being serious!!worth the try thoughnice find indeed.

 

That is amazing, better than the barely identifiable Liberty nickel I found a couple of years ago.
