Absolutely stunned. Bucket lister out of a Coinstar

[CJ9]

Totally surprised when I look at the coins from the reject slot and found this 1865 2 cent piece. Never imagined I would find one of those anywhere. Half the battle around here is getting to look in a machine that isn't out of order.

Thanks for looking

With that kind of luck you'd better buy a LOTTERY TICKET quick!

Friend of mine long ago told me stories of how his mom ran this country store out in the mid west. Said the old folks would sometimes spend large cents and other old money and eventually his mom had a whole mason jar full of 19th century coins. This was in the 1940's-1960's. I myself once found a dime from 1883 simply among some other dimes. It happens, but a 2 cent piece is definitely something extra ordinary, it's not something the average person would recognize as money since the denomination's been obsolete for so long. Lincoln was president when your coin was minted! That's simply an amazing find! 😎👍

Thanks. Unfortunately I thought of that after I got home.

Thanks. You know, I said exactly the same thing to my wife and son - that Lincoln was president when this was minted and how on earth would this wind up here. I can see how you find an 1883 dime because it is the same size as a current dime (despite the different design and being silver - so in that regard, it is like finding a merc - but just scarcer). I can't really figure how this got in the mix after all these years. My guess is the person who dumped it in the machine thought it was foreign. Still given that it has been obsolete for so long, how it made its way into that person's loose change jar in 2022, I wonder.

Fantastic! How do those type coins end up in a jar at someone’s home. Crazy.

 

[jewelerguy]

wow that's crazy

 

[Shakakka]

LOL, damn, I've been detecting 10+ years and still haven't found a 2-center. And you pull one from the grocery store! Congrats man!

Wow....if you could receive a banner from the coinstar I would vote for that coin !! Incredible save !!

It is not the most valuable coin (can get one for $10-$15 on ebay) to find, but it is probably the coolest coin I have ever found IMO. I probably saved it from being thrown in the garbage by someone, and I am glad it is now preserved.

The only 2-cent pieces I've found are Euros. Nice score!
