First day of vacation and had to go the grocery store to get food for the air b&b. Of course I checked the coin star on the way out. Glad I did. Was surprised to find the 1944A Nazi 10 pfennig.
2 Coin stars. 1 dime+ 3 pennies. 1 dime +11 pennies. And at the gas station where I pulled in on one of the "stanchions" (if that is the correct word) was a small stack of 4 coins. 2 quarters and 2 pennies.
While waiting on the checkout line at my local supermarket today I watched a Coin Star user receive his transaction slip without checking the discharge chute. Shortly afterwards I completed my transaction at the register and proceed to the Coin Star machine. The chute was full! I had my wife stay at the machine while I chased down the previous user in the parking lot. I was able to find and tell him that he left "money on the table". We returned to the machine and he counted $8.16. He appreciated me notifying of his negligence. I offered to pay him for the coins and he agreed. The stash included 14-2020 P quarters, 2-2020 P dimes, 6-2020 P pennies, 1-2000 P Sacagawea dollar (no wounded eagle), and last but not least 1-1966 40% Kennedy.
Was getting a pumpkin from wallmart went to the coinstar saw a bunch of crusty zinclons. I pulled out all of them and got a silver dime and something I would never of thought I would find in the wild. A 1859 Indian head. Rough shape but a amazing find.
If you'd asked me what you could find at Walmart that would last 160 years, I would've laughed at you.
Anyone into US territorial coins? Found this 1917 Philippine 10 centavos in the reject bin. Google says it's 75% silver and minted in San Francisco. About <6M minted.
Melt value on the Philippines 10 centavo $1.11. If it was in better shape, as much as $2. But still an excellent find. Great score on the 1859 Indian head. Today I got the biggest scoop I have had in a long time. And the store hadn't been open very long.
There was only one coin in the reject bin today, but it was a bucket lister. 1909 VDB I'm stunned. Here are the pix...
