I had my first finds of the new year yesterday. The machine was locked up because it was full, so that meant some coins still peaking out of the loading slot. I picked out all I could get and this is what I ended up with:  The most interesting was a gunked up 1400(1980) Saudi Arabia 100 Halala (1 riyal). It's cool because I didn't have any coins from Saudi Arabia before and it's a nice large coin:  This one was actually found on the store floor a minute later. My first multi-sided dime:  
In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020 In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020 In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024

My Coinstar drought ended nicely today with a 64 and 64-D dime out of one of the local machines.

Someone left a 1944-S Mercury dime on the counter at the grocery store yesterday. There was nothing in the reject bin, and nothing in the dumping tray, so whoever used the machine last probably thought it was some worthless coin from another country!

Thanks, cabowabo... And nice finds, mightyheaths, mountainman_2 and coincollector110... Quote:Someone left a 1944-S Mercury dime on the counter at the grocery store yesterday. There was nothing in the reject bin, and nothing in the dumping tray, so whoever used the machine last probably thought it was some worthless coin from another country! LOL... I found my 1918 Mercury dime the same way last year... sitting on the counter on top of the Coinstar. People will often put foreign coins there, but rarely US ones in my experience.

Quote: Found in a Coinstar reject tray sitting all by itself, looks like a lamination error on the reverse. Nice find! I looks like it might have been attached to something.

You rescued an Ike! Excellent!
