A friend of mine, Ole, who I used to work with found this today in a Coin Star reject bin. Good on him.
That beats everything I have found from a Coinstar reject bin. Seems like you have to toss in a few half dollars to knock things loose.
Who would try to put that through a coinstar? If that's the case, I'll bet they threw some Indian cents and V nickels in there as well - and those would have been accepted just fine.
I told my big Danish friend I posted this here and invited him to join us. He's also a fellow metal detecting enthusiast. He came across a very nice blue poison bottle a couple of months ago and traded it for a Peace silver dollar. He has both bugs now. Thanks for your comments.
I get excited over finding a silver Roosie. I guess I would be doing cartwheels or back flips out of the store with that pull! Congrats to your former colleague!
The good news? If someone did dump a bunch of IHCs and V-nickels into that machine, with only the large cent rejected... ...they're all headed back into circulation. Roll-hunters, start your engines!
@tommyc03 I think I would have kept the cobalt blue poison bottle since I found that. The Peace Dollar maybe worth more but I found that bottle.
I agree. I have found very few of those in my digs. He was funny though...he said "A man can never have enough silver". He's from Denmark and says he never saw much in U.S. silver there. When my cousin in Norfolk, CT inherited is father in laws farm he found nearly two dozen of these type buried in the adjoining woods. They look beautiful in his kitchen. I have kept all my cobalt Bromo's I've found though. Not valuable but still pretty.
