My gold find post was moved to the World Coins forum; probably I should have put it here in the CoinStar Finds thread initially. For you skeptics, I did actually find this in a Walmart CoinStar reject slot, 4 days ago. At first glance I thought it was a Chuck-E-Cheese or similar token but fortunately not. After confirming the weight was correct at 6.72 grams I concluded this is a genuine Netherlands 10 Gulden gold coin from 1875. You can bet I'll be more diligent about checking local CoinStars, at least until the buzz wears off!

I need to do grocery shopping tomorrow, and there are two CoinStars within a mile of each other. I'll be hitting them both. With my luck, a Chuck-E-Cheese would be a highlight!

You can bet I'll be more diligent about checking local CoinStars, at least until the buzz wears off! Glad this finally made it here, Jaobler! And, you'll be happy to know that the buzz really never goes away. Many here know of my big CoinStar story... As 2017 wound to an end, I had an early Christmas present (2 days early to be precise) courtesy of my nearest CoinStar... an early morning (8am-ish) visit to my local supermarket (I was actually trying to beat the crowd and get in to buy a couple of gift cards for family members for Christmas) and it's CoinStar reject bin found one chock full of coins, including 37 silver quarters and 34 silver dimes, along with several nice foreign coins. http://goccf.com/t/128850&whichpage=161#2595866I still can't believe this happened to me over 5 1/2 years later! 
CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets!

Today, I submitted 22.00 worth of pennies and two quarters. I found 2 1946 Silver Roosevelt's in the reject slot. Good deal.

Those beautiful silver quarters and dimes...  But if everyone knew their coins had value there would not be any finds!

I found 91¢ and a Canadian nickel Wednesday. Woo-Hoo. No silver. Boo-Hoo.

Free money is always nice. I'd take that over old crusty coin cell batteries or washers.
