Coinstar Finds! (Including Bank Counters And Other Machines)

Thanks, cabowabo... and nice finds Pancake and Glenmore...

As for me, been doing a lot more Coinstaring of late.... this past Monday, one of my local supermarkets' reject bins had a pile of about 10 coins... mostly cents and quarters... well, one of the quarters turned out to be a goodie!

Other than my pre-Christmas bonanza a couple years back, silver quarters have been a rare bird for me. So nice to get this 1953 Philly, my 2nd silver quarter (1st was a 1964 Philly 3 months ago) of the year.

Thanks, NumisRob! And nice find on the Pound coin!

So, I walked into a Wal-mart and saw the Coinstar, and thought I'd give it a look. I've never seen this many coins in there before.

Good haul, BostonCornhusker!

I had a more modest haul today from my local Coinstar - two current British 5p pieces and two French 2-eurocent coins!

Last week, I went to a coinstar at Kroger but I founds a 2010 2 Euro Cent Spain and 11¢ Extra Moneys.


HAPPY HUNTING!

Today was the first time in a very long time that I found anything in the grocery CoinStar. It was .12, one dime and Two Cents. I could see immediately why they were rejects. The cents were pretty beat up, scraped and what not. The dime was "kind of" beat up. But upon closer inspection I noticed separation of the clad layer on the sides. The obverse was kind of flat. When I turned it over what I saw really made me think this was looking more like something something that came from the mint. There is a clear, well-defined depression on the reverse. I think, unlike environmental damage where the details would be damaged, the details appear to be intact but with something that was in the die when struck or the die was damaged. Below are photos that I hope will someone could tell a little more.
