"Coin Star" and other coin counting machines have a fairly tight tolerance and since thsi coin was struck out of collar, it is not completely round and is slightly larger than the normal cent.
Nice find.

A terrific find florida. QUOTE "Coin Star" and other coin counting machines have a fairly tight tolerance" A bit off topic. I use CoinStar for the conveinence. I'm willing to give them their cut to avoid tedious rolling. I've wondered why the machines reject US coinage that is perfect in every way. By that I mean it's not warped, distorted or damaged in any way. I'm used to picking Canadian coins, Bermuda issues and the occasional French or Spanish coins from the reject slot. Does anyone have any insight concerning Coin Stars inner workings? The machine I use accepts dozens of quarters and hundreds of dimes but without fail but rejects several of each type whenever I use it. I just pocket and spend the rejects of course. Denis |

i love searching the reject slots at machines, ive made some of my best finds that way. Most of my Mercury dimes and silver quarters have come from reject slots. Ive found dozens of steel pennies, and even a broadstruck Jefferson nickel. My all time favorite find from a reject bin was this large cent and old french coin I couldn't believe finding something this old in circulation. -XoG   |

Unfortunately, it's not a Wide AM. XoG, I'm still shocked that you were able to score a Large Cent from the reject tray. Can't imagine anyone dumping it after 160 years and where has it been sitting? |

I found a 1959 dime in the bank coin machine, along with a Chuck E Cheese token, a NYC subway token and a 5 rupee coin. Not a bad haul for....well.....free!
