halfamind Pillar of the Community United States 1484 Posts	Posted 08/28/2022 9:34 pm That 1943 steel U.S. cent looks to be in great shape, assuming it hasn't been plated. Great finds all around. Report this Post to the Staff
Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10034 Posts	Posted 08/28/2022 9:41 pm Wow! That's quite a selection. Those older Canadian (non-silver) nickels seem to be in good shape and have a hidden secret: Around their REV perimeter is the Morse code message, "We win when we work willingly." How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2517 Posts	Posted 08/28/2022 11:42 pm Starting from the smallest coins, here are the 5 cent silvers. Updated the grades if possible too, now that I've gone and taken a better look at them. I might post some later in the grading forums. Please correct me if any grades or identification are wrong because these are not what I typically collect. (Also, they're so, so very tiny.) 1874 F2 SD - FR (is it still possible to ID 4/4?) 1891 F5 - AG 1900 SD #1 - low VF 1900 SD #2 - high VF (nicest coin out of the silver 5 cents, IMO) 1901 F2 #1 - PO 1901 F2 #2 - high VF 1902 LH - VG details, bent (hard to take a focused photo) 1905 ND - high VF Edited by Altaira 08/28/2022 11:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Smallcentguy Pillar of the Community Canada 1984 Posts	Posted 08/29/2022 06:53 am If there are this many rejects, you have to imagine what was not rejected and is sitting inside the machine! I suspect a lot of decent stuff. Report this Post to the Staff

Wade Pillar of the Community Canada 2781 Posts	Posted 08/29/2022 11:07 am Yup. Looks like someone needed quick cash... Honestly you should notify the bank manager, check with local police regarding a stolen collection, and maybe even post on social media. You may think you've hit the jackpot, but I would bet heavy on that those coins likely arrived there under less than honest circumstances and someone will be out. If it happened to me I would be thrilled beyond belief if someone made the effort to return my property (those could be very sentimental coins). Report this Post to the Staff
CanuckCoinGirl New Member Canada 10 Posts	Posted 08/29/2022 11:12 am wow... nice haul! Although it is likely someone is missing something too. The newer coins could just be random rejects, but the electromagnetic sensors and light sensors have criteria on size and metal, and some even look for thickness and ridges on the sides. Given that most reject current coins based on a signature, I would check for flaws at mint stage given the haul, but it could be just nicks. The loonies could be some of the fakes going around, although newer than most it seems - there have been a few sources: Edmonton, Montreal...but they circulated. Some of those have blurry features, or odd edges along the 11 sides. Some have detached beaks and odd heads. Although people are not supposed to keep them, some stayed in collections as oddities. see previous topics here: http://goccf.com/t/386480 Edited by CanuckCoinGirl 08/29/2022 11:17 am Report this Post to the Staff

Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2517 Posts	Posted 08/29/2022 12:38 pm I didn't find this in a bank, but a supermarket Coinstar while on a day trip out of town. I didn't want to speculate too much at the time but since the reject bin was overflowing I had to get them out of there, for safekeeping or whatever. When I got home, I googled whether there was a coin theft around the area and didn't find anything. Report this Post to the Staff
CanuckCoinGirl New Member Canada 10 Posts	Posted 08/29/2022 2:08 pm Basic break and enters don't make it to the news/google. Generally, people don't post what was taken, in hopes that they can have it found by police. You could check in with the police if you were so inclined, although hard to know the time they were there, and unless whoever had them had photos, it would likely be a random type of collection - or things just in the penny jar.
