Thank you Coinstar!

I'm not sure if I'll make it out today, but the silver is already in the bag . On our way into the grocery store, my five year old dutifully checked the Coinstar machine. Ironically, we had just come from the bank, where I deposited my clad finds in their free machine. Wouldn't you know, Halfdime Jr. pulled this 63D Rosey from the reject tray! Big deal, I know, but it's his first silver; his sister's first was a 34 Merc under a lottery machine. These kids will never lack for money!

I've never seen a coinstar in WI. I feel left out.

P.S.- love the new avatar, is that what mint ginger ale does to a man ??

That is too funny!

I visited a CoinStar recently and dumped over 5300 clad pennies in that sucker

It would not eat two of the coins...

One that had been broken in half and taped back together, lol.

And a 1973 in beautiful shape.

I deposited that coin ten times!

It just would accept it!

The good news is that I dumped over 25lbs. of stickin' Lincolns

On the Lincoln That wont go in the machine....
Not sure how these counters work but I am guessing that it all has to do with the weight of the coin, Right?
If the coin has no obvious difference it may be struck on a foreign planchet.
If so this coin has a significant value.... This is not that uncommon.
weigh the coin against another pre 1982 cent. If there is a difference submit the coin to a third party grading company like NGC for authentication.

You may be pleasently surprised.... VPR
