my find ...well I drew a blank at a bank. a blankety blank! hey mickey......... I hate wearing my raincoat, I cant get my fingers trough the sleves ...2inches first snow.
I just pulled a fistful out at the grocery store after a long skunk streak. Some oddball tokens (religious), a Franklin Memorial Souvenir token, a handful of foreigns (going back to 1933) and 48x mix of copper and zincolns. Not too shabby!
Keyed a dime out of the acceptor slot, nickel and a dime on the grill, 3 cents in the return slot, facilitated by a bruised Mr. Zincoln.
1957-D and 1964 2 silver dimes holy cow. When there is a lone dime in the slot that's a good sign. And then, I had to go to another store, and there was a dime (and penny) on the shelf. This has happened once before, they keep putting the dime back in, but the machine rejects it for being the wrong metal. They give up and throw it away (put it on the shelf). The reverse of the 57 is better than shown. Weird light thing.
I was dumping halves at my local community bank. They have these old time counting machines that look like something out of The Jetsons cartoon. They are slow as molasses and jam a lot unless if you feed them slowly. They are not self serve for obvious reasons. When the teller came back with my deposit slip she handed me a 1943-S steely and said it was in with my coins and the machine did not take it. It wasn't in my coins, and not sure how this coin was rejected. I figure somebody else dumped it and it somehow came out when she ran my coins.
First decent handful in awhile, though nothing too valuable. Japan 5 yen 2003 Ecuador un centavo 2007 Canada nickel 2002-F Euro 2 cent plus 30 cents of the spendin' kind
I am not sure what other machines there may be, but I know most of them have this slot as their slot, if that makes sense. Lol
Yesterday I found a Canadian quarter on the shelf. (Non silver 1980). I have never found a foreign silver so that's on the Coin Star bucket list. I have found at least 40 silvers. 30+ dimes including a Merc which was my only Coin Star bucket list item. A war nickel, 6-7 quarters and a 40% half. But never a foreign silver. SO THAT'S ON THE WISH LIST SANTA. I did find a 1968 Canadian dime one time and I was hoping for 50%, but it was nickel.
