Reject Tube & Coinstar Finds

Oh, and to answer your question, I'm not sure why the non-steel wheats show up in Coinstars, Mad Stax... I wonder if anyone else knows?

I was finding many wheats in the coin stars back in the summer. They have dried up lately, but the coinage left is amazing this month.
I think one time there was 60 Lincoln cents and 10 were wheaties. Strange. Scabby and scuzzy but they were 1920s , 30s and 40s.

 

Coincidence, maybe...
I'm sure steelies weigh slightly different than coppers, I'm curious why the regular ones show up though

 

Today I found a 1964 kennedy half dollar with dried glue on it, 20 cents worth of wheat pennies and a 1966 canadian half dollar.

 

It's bizarre... and all but one non-steel wheat that I've found in a Coinstar was either a 1940 or a 1941. Maybe some of the planchets were a tad heavier (or lighter) those years? I don't know... next time I get one, I will weigh it.

 

Today found 37 cents plus a 20 cent Euro and a 1942 Wheatie.
37 cents.

 

Today I found a 1939 mercury dime and a indian cent from 1897.

 

A crazy day, two coinstars and a credit union trash can produced the following:

About a dollar in regular USA and Canadian change - put in the red kettle.

A Canadian loonie dated 1992

A steel cent from 1943 in nice grey and uncorroded condition

And then at the credit union I checked the machine and nothing. Trash can next to it had a coffee can in it that had coins still in it, only three cents - but one of them was a very slightly bent 1920 wheat.

 

A woman dumped $125 or so of change into a Coinstar... she was just finishing up as I got there... I noticed lots of change in the reject bin and even offered her a couple of $1 dollar bills... and mentioned I liked foreign coins. Well, she kind of ignored me and then walked away after taking her receipt... you know the rest of the story...

There was $2.27 in US, $1.76 in Canadian, and these 8 other foreign coins... crazy!

 

2 quarters, 5 dimes (1 silver), 1 Canadian cent, and a vacuum token in a coinstar.

 

36 cents in my morning cs run...

 

Today's coinstar find is a canadian nickel with a hole drilled in the middle of it, looks like I'll use it as a washer.

 

Found a lone steelie yesterday.
And a small handful of foreign the other day.

 

2 cents and a Canadian dime in a coinstar.

 

I haven't found a steelie in a few months. They are out there, most in terrible condition.

 

Yesterday I found a really nice 1964 dime. I like free silver.

 

Someone is quite the world traveler!

 

That's the nicest looking Steelie I've ever seen pulled from circulation or a reject tray. Congrats!

 

Tonnes of coin, mostly cents and Canadian and nothing numismatically fascinating.

 

Thanks. It is pretty nice.
