A little coinstar jackpot

[Racso]

Any key dates? Crazy lucky, the only explanation.

I am not an expert on coin collecting like all of you here so I don't know which are key dates. I have mostly collected foreign currency and most of my collection is from when I was in the service.

Wait a minute... Is the first picture (the pile o coins) all from what came out of the reject tray?

Very nice score.
Someone put that eclectic accumulation together and you know they would have stuck around to get it unjammed and reclaim their booty. Which leads me to believe some Grampa/Grandma somewhere is going to be pi**ed when they realize Little Junior got into the sock drawer for an Ice Cream.
BTW- Is that a gold foreign (or yellow metal?) as well.

I wish I could have seen the person selling that jar of coins so I could've have tried to buy all of them. I can only imagine all the nice coins that got sent into the crap box and all the others that made it inside. The gold coin is some kind of token
made of aluminum.

Thanks for all the kind/positive words. I was so excited during this whole event that I actually can't remember if I endeed pulled all the coins out

I mostly posted the silver U.S coins. I had about 45 foreign coins, 5 tokens, 13 regular wheaties and 115 steel wheaties.

Insane!! It had to have been a stolen jug of coins and he/she just wanted to get outta there. I'm pretty sure u got all the good stuff..coinstar only excepts clad and almost always spits out silver/steel/foreign etc. That is a HUGE score! Congrats

Incredible

 

[stealthycat]

I've found a lot of coins - not that many, not that many silvers either

I did find a coinstar malfunctioning one day - every time I cleared the change at the bottom it filled up again .... I filled both pockets with coins and then felt guilty and left ... all clad, it might have literally emptied the machine had I had a bucket !!

Congratulations on the big score. Somebody's grandpa is very ticked off, or soon will be!

How could the person be so stupid not to know they were old and silver and how could they not wonder how little they got paid for the coins they returned crazy Good find my turn next!!!!

 

[BeenFishin]

Maybe something was blocking the reject slot and it just happened to open up? Maybe some unknowing kid wanted to buy a new video game? Either way my stomache flipped when i read that and saw those pics! Congrats!

Can you at least tell us which market?

 

[wingmaster]

I wonder who would be dumb enough to leave all that there, I'm sure it's probably worth 10X what they cashed in. HH

Crackheads with a stolen coin jar most likely.

Why did the machine reject the wheats?

WHAAAAAAAATTTTTTTT??

That is amazing.

Luckily this town doesn't have that kind of people or beggars. It's a nice old town with lots of history.

That makes two of us. This will probably will be the first and last time posting a really good find. I detect the beach and prospect and haven't found anything worth posting. I have helped quite a few people find their lost rings at the beach. I love browsing the forums because of the great finds people make. The only reason I made an account was to purchase a detector from a member. HH
