Good looks VPNavy! My girlfriend is rocking it right now, with 7 silver quarters, an old italian coin, and a merc!

Nice cataloging. ..........

Interesting, I take it the Roosevelt dimes had designers initials JS removed during the Red scare of 1950s...
I have heard it was rumored to be a secret Joseph Stalin reference, but was unaware of their removal.
neat stuff and keep eyeing those reject slots. (Don't forget the 'take a penny' bins at checkout either,
saw a Canada dime with a mackerel in one, intrigued by the fish I snatched it up, now know 1967 dual dated Canada coins(excepting 5c)
can be 800 ar or more commonly 500, but no base metals as far as I know. Good luck😉

Sure looks like "clad" - cleaning up all coins right now so I can ID the two (non-penny) coins as well as all the pennies. Will update the finds shortly.

This is pretty cool! Checked my first machine the other day as my wife and I where leaving Walmart. I got the old, "now what are you up to?!!" Gotta go "shopping" today as a matter of fact and will hit that machine going in and coming out. I'm determined to finally post SOMETHING on TNET whether I dig it or find it in a Coinstar. Happy hunting!

BOOM!!! And there you have it. The ground is solid as a rock today here in Downeast Maine. Regardless, I went out anyway to see if I could find something. I went up to a spot where I found an iron wagon wheel before the frost set in and found the hub (no metal detector involved). From there I went over to a spot I found a milk bottle a while back and found two "old school" Esso oil cans in really great shape (both sitting on top of the leafs). Then on the way home, I had to stop at at the local Walmart. First thing I checked was the Coinstar. Again, BOOM!!! No silver or gold. No tokens or watches. But coins yes! 5 clads, 1 copper penny. Nothing older than that 62 penny. One dime though has some interesting mismarks on it which I need to look at closer. For me this is huge. Just the idea that people would walk away from the coins which get "spit" out by this machine is odd. The oil cans are pretty cool. I gotta learn how to post photos though. Great day for me anyway!

Last week I found a lot of pesos and euros (along with some Czech coins)... I mean by the fistful. Took me 5 grabs to get out all the pesos. The euros were on a separate "visit". And also took a few handfuls to clean out.

Came away with about $3 in clad and a few Canadian.

I'm also going to keep a separate jar for the clad US coin that I find and tally up for the year. Buy something needed for the albums with it.

Oh, any ideas what to do with the pesos and euros?
