CoinAdvocate Valued Member United States 132 Posts	Posted 12/12/2024 01:33 am Hey all, So, if I go through my collection's 2x2's I see a lot of silver coins marked with a year and 'CS' for Coinstar. I've noticed that since 2019 my finds have not just dropped a little, they've dropped precipitously. I have actually not found one silver coin in a Coinstar since 2019 and I check every time I go into several different locations. I live in the SF Bay Area, so coin-roll hunting for silver has always been a bit dry, but the Coinstar's were still paying out until 5 years ago. What happened? It is not enough to merely enjoy coins; one must Advocate for them! Report this Post to the Staff

mysilveryears Pillar of the Community United States 1809 Posts	Posted 12/12/2024 10:40 am I got lucky a couple of times, but it seems now everyone who passes by a coinstar, checks the tray. The odds of finding anything at all, even weird foreign pieces, have dropped precipitously. Report this Post to the Staff
