Found a bunch (33) of iron pennies today.
The highlight of the pile is a pristine 1864 copper nickel
cent, which weighs 4.7g. Just imaging what is in
the bag! Unfortunately I can't buy the bag.

no, reject tube of coin machine.
however I did find many silver coins
by the coin star machine in my old
grocery store. The new grocery store I am
going now does not have one.

:occasion14: Anytime you can get coins from the reject bin or chute is a great find. Congrats on this find. The 1864 IH is beatiful for sure. It's the icing on the cake for the rest of the finds that time. I'm assuming that you made this find at a bank & they won't sell you the bag. That is a bummer but it's the same way around here.
