Sweet cull of silver. Apparently that machine doesn't have a reject chute, but rather the half bag catches the trash. At least, you know you are getting everything by buying the half bag and that some keepers are not in a chute.

Every time I have gotten a bag off of this machine it is full of all sorts of stuff.
Got a pair of diamond earrings once.
I have not gotten any bags of quarters, dimes, nickels or pennies so I don't know if they have all the other stuff as well.

With the result of this bag, I would try and get the quarter/dime bags. There just might be more honey in the hive.

The half dollar bag probably took awhile to fill up as far as it did. Unfortunately that means the silver in the dimes/quarters was likely shipped out long ago. For your sake, if you are able to get those bags I hope I am wrong. I would also guess there is almost as much "rejects/trash" mixed in to the other denominations as well, it is just spread out over many bags so it looks like a lot less. The rejects appear to get concentrated in the half dollars because the bag changes so infrequently.

Good luck!

Well, I did get a dime bag that did pretty good. 8 silver
The quarter bag only gave up 1 silver a 1964 that looks like it just came out of a collection. I'd it wasn't for getting into this bag I don't think it had ever been handled.
No W mint mark coins.
I rolled everything and took them back to the CU on Saturday. They did not have a dime bag to exchange but I did exchange the quarters for another Quarter bag.
No silver and no W mint marks.
I did pick up a half box that gave up (2) 40%.

More for the pile. If you aren't hunting, you aren't finding. The Washington quarter looks crisp. No wear on the breast feathers, sharp talons and beak.

Nice going on the silver haul. There might be a rush of silver now that there is a coin shortage.

I just read an article where the US MINT is asking people to please round up their coins and spend them to get more coins into circulation.
I hope we can all cash in on this. There just might be a lot of silver collections being dumped.
