SilverStackerKid Pillar of the Community United States 6478 Posts	Posted 09/22/2015 9:26 pm Today I went to the grocery store. There is a Coinstar there. I went to check and this man was scratching lottery tickets on the machine. But if you don't try, you don't succed. So I walked up and pulled 3 dimes out of the machine, the guy looked at me with this digusted look. I pulled out the 1951-S Dime. Awesome! I proceeded to the bank, and on my way back home, I checked coinstar again. The guy left a huge mess! What a jerk. He left tens of torn up lottery tickets all over the machine and most in the tray! Who in the world does that? Report this Post to the Staff

Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 09/23/2015 12:37 am I've never had luck with dimes in circulatation. I have found two silver quarter dollars though- a '63-D a few years ago that I saved from a vending machine, and a more recent '64-D. Report this Post to the Staff
