[QUOTE="jensenbay, post: 2569223, member: 27151"]I had a huge find / purchase today... I went into the grocery to pick up a couple things. I always check the coinstar machine.

I ask the man using the coinstar "do you know those are silver?" He say "yes". I ask if I can buy them. He agrees. Long story short... His father had passed and he was cashing the coins out. Most were cents but a bunch of other coins as well. We go through what was not already in the machine and I purchased this from him: 60 common ikes 52 silver quarters 27 silver dimes 20 90% kennedys 5 40% kennedys 2 war nickels 9 dateless buffalo nickels 3 wheat cents 6 steel cents and a handful of other, mostly, world coins and he gave me the bag. I gave $280 for the lot. Good thing there was a cash machine next to the coinstar. A good deal for me and a good deal for him. He didn't want to deal with a shop and I paid less than a shop would sell for... a Win Win. He was going to dump them for face value anyway. I wonder what was already in the machine.
