I just had a CS find that blows away everything else I've ever found combined.
Just swingin' by the CS... one that rarely produces anything. Oh, the reject tray is full. I pulled out a fistful of coins and MORE FELL DOWN. The reject chute was backed up! So I started heaping them on the machine...
No way that will fit in my pockets, so I started feeding them back into the machine, checking for silver of course. But the machine was rejecting most of them for no good reason, and there were fine metal shavings mixed in with the coins coming out of the tray. I managed to get a $12 Amazon gift card out of it before I gave up. I just picked the silver and weird stuff out by hand and donated the rest, probably $20 or more, to the store's charity.
And what a haul of silver it was!
41 silver dimes (!!!)
1 silver quarter
1 clad quarter that jumped out for looking proof (2004 D - Iowa)
7 wheaties including one steel
9 shiny old pennies (see below for why I kept them)
4 quarter sized foreign
and 1 good time token that I'm hella keeping for good luck!
All of the dimes and the 9 bright pennies are uncirculated 1961. Somebody must have busted open vintage rolls. I don't think I missed the other 9 dimes in the pile, so they may have fallen inside the machine when the chute overflowed.
