It is not worth much, but hey it's a start! Just the thrill of lookin in the reject bin and seeing anything shiny is a good feeling.

1961D Rosy dime today. Nice condition. Better than the one in the new set I started building.

I feel uncomfortable going to the machines to look for coins. With all the cameras in the stores I feel I may be picked up for stealing. Anyone else have feelings like this

I feel a little obnoxious looking in them, but hey, if you don't take them, who does? The next dumper who checks the bin, or even the next collector!  |

Does anyone ever say anything when you are just there looking? I just wonder if it is really ok to do. I understand what you're saying. I guess it is like back in the day of pay phones (too bad they are aLl but gone for real emergencies)

Would you pick up a quarter in the aisle of the same market as you walked by? Besides who cares if someone says something? They would probably just be upset that you noticed first. |

You are probably right. I guess the one in a Walmart is next to customer service and I feel watched there. You know how they have teamed with tv announcements etc |

Checked Wal-Marts and found a 1979s Lincoln Cent. I say it's good shape but not the best. |

I found this cool token along with a CR2032 battery at my local Kroger's Coinstar. I tried to look up the company but couldn't find any info. I'm thinking it may be from around the 50's-70's and the company went out of business. Any ideas? I also got an 1891 Indian Head cent from the self checkout at this place. But then again I'm there about every other day.    Edited by AllezRoubaix

Two wheaties and a silver Roosevelt dime this week. Best I've done so far at the supermarket CoinStar, as previous finds have been Canadian pennies and discounted pastries. |

AllezRoubaix: I found a reference to Spiller Brothers in the 1909 Annual Report of the Virginia Dairy & Food Commissioner. Google "Spiller Brothers, Eaglerock, VA" and the first reference, go to Page 82.
During the Depression a lot of places used script and tokens, it might be from the 30's.
