I was dumping coins today at the coinstar and it kicked out a 1968-D I missed because it was dirty. Thanks Coinstar! I also picked up a box today and found 3 more 40%. 2x1967 and another 1968-D. The top right 68-D is very pretty in person.
I hope you were getting a gift card with those coins. Otherwise you are paying 9.8 cents off each dollar for a machine to count for you. I love the gift card aspect of coinstar. But really sweet find. I hear people returning coins all the time and just from the sound it makes I can tell if there's silver in the mix or not. More often than not, I have found out that the coinstars won't take IKE dollars and have gotten quite a good collection of those by switching out a dollar for dollar. When I get enough saved up I plan on taking them to the LCS. They give me 1.05 for each IKE.
