Kroger/Coinstar score!!

[ChokeandStroke]

I stopped at my neighborhood Kroger that has a bank inside to dump some dimes and did the compulsory Coinstar reject slot check that has netted three quarters and four dimes over the last several years to find a Kroger employee using the Coinstar machine. I asked her if she minded if I check her rejects and she said yes. I told her she had silver and she said "ok". She had '53 and a '50 quarters and '53 and '64 Roosies. I offered her $5 for the lot and she said they belonged to Kroger but she would see what the manager said. She came back to tell me she would just swap me $0.70 for the silver. I told her the spot price but she said she wasn't interested in any of it.

Thanks. I've been lurking for a while but never posted. I've been CRH for five years and I recently started metal detecting.

Nice saves. The last time I checked a Coinstar at Walmart, they said the machine and any coins belong to Coinstar and not to the store. That's what customer service told me, so if that is the case the store has no say in what is in the reject tray. Anyone have any other input?

 

[G.I.B.]

I'll give you $5 for them.

I can't believe what I find left in coinstar machines. In the past year I have found at least $15. Twice over a dollar's worth of rejects, including 3 silver dimes and a 10K ring! I guess people that are willing to pay 10.8% to dump their change don't really care about leaving a few "worthless" coins behind.

Nice score on the silver quarters......and sounds like some friendly managers at the kroger. Finding a silver quarter in the coinstar is my white whale. Never found one!

CAS...welcome! Welcome to Tnet and to the great hobby of metal detecting/relic hunting. So...ive only slightly dabbled in CRH...and from what I gather, especially in the CRH forums, that it's getting to be really slim pickings nowadays...and while silver in the ground is slowing down too...there are sites out there that have NEVER been touched...and they produce very well. What machine do you have or plan to have? I wish you the best of luck...You may have found Silver in the ROLL....but ain't NOTHING like Silver in the HOLE!! GL &HH, ddf.

Whatever is left in the reject tray is fair game for whoever checks it first. If coins are left in the reject tray it's just like finding coins on the ground.

I took all of my reject clad finds from the last year and a half and bought myself a PCGS stabbed 1852 trime graded EF40.

The coins belonged to Kroger. The employee was dumping two large pitchers of coins I assume they didn't want to roll and was willing to pay the 10.8%.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I love finding silver but it has gotten pretty tough and slim pickings. I have a bounty hunter pro as my first detector. It was affordable and gives me a chance to see how I like the hobby without dropping too much cash. My GF and I went to the Bolivar peninsula and walked about a mile of beach and found one piece of what looks like aluminum. I live in Houston so the beach is a good place to start.
