Been checking Coinstars in my grocery store for the past couple weeks. Usually nothing at all. Today, I noticed a handful of coins in the reject bin and grabbed them. Got home and realized I had four silver dimes including a 1941 Merc. Also a 10 cent Barbados coin. Fun stuff.

You've only been looking a couple of weeks? Pretty lucky!
I managed my second silver dime from the coinstar last Friday. 1946 philly. It wasn't in the reject bin. It was stacked neatly up on the ledge in the right hand corner with a $5 hong kong coin and a plastic memorial cent.

I'll bet you keep on looking! Congratulations.
