Coinsleuth2612 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 12/03/2022 10:43 am I am new to currency coin collecting. I differentiate currency and coin because I only used to collect military challenge coins during my 23 year military career. I recently started Coin roll hunting and started using Coinstar. During a coin dump I had 3 1970's Kennedy half dollars '73, and (2) '77's rejected. I went to put them back in and I got burned by the coins. I attempted this 3 times. I used a hankerchief to try the 2nd and 3rd time. I ended up keeping the coins. These coins were P mint. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

They take a 12% cut of what you put in. Better to roll up your coins and deposit them at your bank.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94672 Posts	Posted 12/04/2022 1:26 pm must have been a lot of friction of the machine trying to feed the coins through it - getting them hot. Collecting since 1972.

twslisa Pillar of the Community United States 790 Posts	Posted 12/04/2022 5:51 pm I wonder if there something wrong with the machine—might need servicing before it becomes a fire hazard. Did you report it? Report this Post to the Staff
