In my seven years of being a coin collector I have NEVER found ANYTHING in a coinstar reject tray. Well, Christmas Eve I was making a last minute trip to the grocery store and saw a stash in the tray. A couple cents, a couple Canadian coins, a BOOM! 1959 Silver Dime. Merry Christmas to me!

I see I haven't posted to this thread since May 30. Usually I need to find silver to post, but this time I have found 133 wheat cents today I feel justified making a post. Last week, in change, I also received a 2003S cent and a 1964P dime. I'm not even sure what store since I was shopping for Christmas in a number of places. In the intervening months I also have found $0.77 in common change and this stuff:   I found the PGA ball marker during the weekend of the PGA tournament this year. The wheats I found today look like the "junk" wheats from someone's collection. 1 - 1919 P 12 - 1930 P 18 - 1934 P 1 - 1934 D 7 - 1935 P 4 - 1935 D 1 - 1935 S 12 - 1936 P 1 - 1936 D 12 - 1937 P 1 - 1937 D 1 - 1937 S 16 - 1938 P 1 - 1938 S 12 - 1939 P 1 - 1939 S 12 - 1940 P 12 - 1941 P 1 - 1944 P 2 - 1946 P 1 - 1948 P 1 - 1953 D 3 - 1955 P 133 in total The 1919 was badly pitted and the 1934D was very well worn. None of the 36's or 55's was a double die. But still . . .

Wow, that's an amazing find! Silver, world coins and almost three rolls of wheaties are certainly worthy of a post here.

I found a 1970D nickel yesterday and today I found a soda can "lever" or whatever you call them since they are no longer pull tabs like in the 1970's.

Well, time to put the pictures where my mouth is. I check CoinStars regularly and have regular luck with silver, but this is by far my best find and on 1/1/16, no less. Hope it's a good sign for the year. It was all by itself in the beloved reject tray.   Got any grade guesses?

Wow, It does seem a bit symbolic- a 100 year old coin on the first day of the year. It looks a bit like a proof, although none were struck that year except for a few ultra-rare specimens.

Looks like AU-50 details. Many 1916 coins were saved shortly after entering circulation, and to see a 100-year old coin is always a good sign, let alone in nicer condition! Too bad the storage darkly toned the luster.

I kind of like the toning.
