Found in The Coinstar Reject Bin Thread

Sharp eyed and money loving Scot spied a wee dime under the CoinStar machine whilst exiting the grocery store. Unfartunately my wee lovely was just out of my paws reach, so I had to have my 16 yr old lad extend his lanky tendrils under the machine to get her.

 

I thought surely from the edge she was a Canuck 10c, the edge was copper free. But he pulled her out, and I saw that ubiquitous leaves and torch of the reverse of the Roosie dime. Aye, me lad has been a part of me getting my second silver dime in a mere two weeks - this time a '59-D. Last week he got a '63 in change at 7-11.

Same machine as the last, different day. I think I spy another dime(more silver???)under the machine again but after getting a pen and pushing it out from under the machine, a 1929-S Lincoln. F-VF. I like finds like this, especially given that Abe is 82 years old and from halfway across the country.

I'm so envious of these great CoinStar finds. Our coinstar machines produce nothing. I'm guessing that someone has a regular route of searching them or some such thing.

First decent find in months - lately I have been finding onesies and twosies only until this morning:

A 1943 steel cent, over $6.00 in Canadian change and a US dime and a couple of miscellaneous cents. I have found several steelies in the past couple of years - surprised they are still out there.

Merely looking in the reject slot that is in the front of the machine. I admit to looking under the machine too, my last treasure was a '29-S cent. The previous under the machine treasure from the week before was a 1959 silver Roosevelt dime. But as I am finding out the best place to look is not in the Coinstars because everybody is seemingly checking those now, but the coin counters in banks etc.

The coin counter at my bank has an internal capture slot for rejects. The tellers set the machine for use and when it's done they open the door and extract the rejects and give them to the person. Only when they're done with this do they close the machine door and it prints out a credit slip. So no pickins there. :sorry:

Great Britain/Ireland - King George IV

Unknown 1822

 

I don't know about you, but I think that looks a lot older. Probably a George II halfpenny. Very nice find! :shock:

That's a George IV alright - probably a Nova Scotia 1/2d

it's not Canadian on the back i can only make out a harp and crown

 

 

I thought it looked like one of these:
