Hello Everyone,

With it "raining cats and dogs" I knew detecting was out for today. So, I decided to visit two thrift shops looking for some Silver and Gold...…Nothing. I thought now my only hope is the Coinstar machine in two of the locations I frequently visit. The first place…nothing, but the second had a small handful of coins that were quickly scooped up and placed in my pocket for inspection in the car.

Today’s take a 1951 silver quarter, two Canadian coins and two Lincoln cents.

Thank you for looking.

How does this work. Do you ask someone to open if for you? I've wanted to try this since I accidentally got an Ike last year when the lady gave me the dirty coins.

You have to check the overflow/reject tray...That is where I find the coins. :icon_thumleft:

Luck, if there is such a thing, means getting to the machine if coins are in the tray before someone else does. :occasion14:
