Scottishmoney Posted August 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Not in, but peering out from underneath the CoinStar was a 1981 Swiss 1/2 Franc, not a bad find, considering face value on the coin is about 40 cents and it is a dime sized coin.

Scottishmoney Posted September 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 A neat combo of old and new, a 1926 Lincoln, in fine, and a 2007 Canadian, first find in over a month. At least the Abe can be retired to my orphanage after a long 83 year span of circulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
