vending machine coin hunting!!!

[coinlover]

I've heard some people on here try vending machine coin hunting, so i decided to give it another shot Tuesday night. first, i started with quarters looking for bicentennials. we were at my friends church hanging around. i showed him that it gives you a different coin every time. since he is beginning to collect coins, he traded some state quarters with some eagle back quarters. he got the eagle's and a bicentennial. i tried quarters but found nothing. i moved onto dimes and about the tenth time not finding anything, i gave up. then i went onto nickels. i put a normal nickel in, hit the coin return and it gave me a 1964D. i looked at it and remembered that these were made in the millions so i put it back. i hit it again and it gave me a 1963 nickel. i put that one back also. i hit it again and it gave me a 1962D! i know its really not old, but good from a vending machine. i got another nickel out, and put it in and got my first 2007D nickel! machines are really good places to find the new coins. this took awhile to find this, but it was fun!

Hey am I seeing correctly? Jefferson's mouth is gone on that 2007 D nickel.

Error coin?

I always put more than the purchase amount into the machine to force it to give me change. No silver yet, but it has yielded an older Jefferson nickel or two.

Tried vending machine hunting this weekend while bored at work. I think I may have gotten a wisconsin die variety, the bottom rim on the back is much thicker than the top. Does anyone know of this variety, oh and this is my first post...Hello everyone!!!
