Stopped by the local Walmart this morning before my hunt...I always check the coinstar tray but rarely find much. No silver yet...a few wheats from time to time, but today I actually found a 1943 steel cent! Kinda fun! I've actually seen a few other posts from people finding these in the reject tray. Guess coinstar doesn't like the heavy steel pennies haha. HH all

Yeah I was pretty happy to find this in the reject tray. I have a handful of 1943 steel cents in my collection from different sources, but this was a first for me! Never thought I'd find one in a coinstar haha. It was probably sitting in someone's change bucket for a while ;)
