MOS0239 Pillar of the Community 1110 Posts	Posted 12/25/2020 10:50 am John77, ! ! Brilliant find! Question: I'm sure it's already been asked here but do these Coinstar machines reject silver? Report this Post to the Staff
John77 Pillar of the Community United States 2949 Posts	Posted 12/26/2020 1:13 pm Thanks, all! Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas! Quote: Question: I'm sure it's already been asked here but do these Coinstar machines reject silver? And, to answer your question, MOS0239, yes the Coinstar machines do reject silver (other than War Nickels)... the reason for this is the machines are set to look for specific coin specifications... so they look for both the size of the coin and also the weight. 90% Silver coins weigh about 10.23% more than their copper-nickel counterparts so that is why they're rejected. War Nickels don't get rejected because they weigh the exact same amount (5 grams) as regular nickels. With five days left in 2020, here are my totals of "good" Coinstar finds this year... these are despite me finding nothing at all from March 10 through August 22 (mostly due to the virus and not shopping much)... Cents: 21 Wheats including 12 Steels Dimes: 16 Silver including 10 Mercs Quarters: 2 Silver (1953, 1964) Halves: 1 Silver - 40% (1967) CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets! Report this Post to the Staff
