So, yeah, silver coins get rejected for weight. 1943 cents would be rejected for weight and magnetism, etc. However, I don't think they have it down to an exact science judging by what gets rejected (e.g. near perfect normal coins). That explains the really nice 1943 cent I found awhile ago. Thanks for the info. Report this Post to the Staff

I noticed early on that a lot of my Wheat cent Coinstar finds were 1941 coins... I figured something like this happened, so it is nice to have some confirmation.

John77 Pillar of the Community United States 2949 Posts	Posted 01/21/2018 11:37 am Quote: Since I have been checking the reject bins I was surprised at how often a silver dime would be the lone rejected coin. Did a little searching and found it might be due to the difference in weight. A silver dime weighs more than a clad dime, thus the scales inside reject it. Silver - 2.5 grams Clad - 2.27 grams Yup. Similarly, War Nickels are usually not rejected for this very same reason: Copper-Nickel - 5.00 grams 35% Silver - 5.00 grams I have found exactly one War Nickel Coinstar reject hunting, and that one was plated with something to make it weigh more than normal.

Lionel90 Valued Member United States 392 Posts	Posted 01/23/2018 4:47 pm I lucked out a couple weeks ago and found a proof quarter and dime. Now I think I'll get the jackpot every time but that's not happening. Report this Post to the Staff
