Are you able to cherry pick a cool VAM variety every time you scan a dealer's lesser-grade stock? In other words, if you searched through a dealer's more common morgans, how often do you see a noteable VAM just sitting there?

huh... I didn't know the US had 2 pound notes.

What is the red token?

oooh... I don't know what it is, but that coins has a very different look from the usuals. Maybe its the toning.

congrats on the complete set. where can i see it all together?

I got an idea! How about we post in here when someone DOES find something in the coinstar!

Well, if we're talking about of all coins (I was just talking about the Jeff, roosie, lincoln, and washington), then my vote is for barber coinage that shows beautiful wear at all grades.

Oooh... war nickels are my favorite to find. Besides the penny, old jeffs are the best looking worn circulation pieces.

2004 $20 star I had to handle very large sums of money today and I got the urge to look through everything. Oddly, that star was the only interesting note in the bunch. I've never found a star note before, only bought them. Well, I guess I'm about to shell out $20 of my own money to give it a new home.

1988 $10

I'm not sure what my morals say about that. I want to do it but I'm just too honest.

seconded

so everyone always finds things in CoinStars. The only time I use them is when I'm too lazy to wait for the bank teller to rewrap my searched rolls. Therefore I know exactly what is in those rolls and what the CoinStar rejects. How do you guys not know what you are putting in the coinstar assuming it is your already-searched change? Or are you looking in some secret compartment that others don't look in after depositing their change.

Got an update for us?

1981 A $1 FRN Oldest note I've ever found besting the 85 $20 I found a few weeks ago, which bested the 93 $1 which I found many many many years ago.

Can you post a pic of the Ghana note? If I remember the last Popular Note Comp correctly, some Ghana notes did well.

If I could only use the following smiley once in my life, here is the time to use it.

Whatever looks beautiful and that I can afford : x

Date and mint. But since seeing all of the beautiful coins posted on CP, I may start picking up some type beauties.

I feel like I've come across an Indian head with my dad or something but I think 1910's is most likely.

Nice catch on all of those, andy! Especially the zincolns!

Looks almost prooflike.

Here is a good discussion for everyone: You see a coin or note that someone donated towards a charity or for a fundraiser. You don't have any change or cash on you to replace it with. You really really wanna have it. What do your morals tell you to do?
