<p>[QUOTE="bugo, post: 1726586, member: 53226"]I've been a member of this forum for about 2 weeks. Yesterday I decided to check the local Coinstar machine's reject bin. I didn't expect to find anything other than maybe some garbage when I pulled a coin out of the bin. At first I thought it was a dime, possibly a silver Roosevelt dime. I looked at it when I got out of the store and was surprised to see that it was a 1917 French 50 centimes piece. Silver coin, although I'm not sure the percentage. Beautiful coin with an interesting backstory, but probably not worth much. That doesn't matter to me as my collection is not for sale and is priceless. Thanks to the members of this forum who suggested the Coinstar reject bin. It only took me a couple of weeks for it to pay off to be a member of this forum.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7299/9046916841_80ec3a5067_c.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3675/9046917877_5be5ef8598_c.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
