Coin counter giving away wheat pennies!

[chinman]

I don't collect or search pennies, but I was returning halves in a coin counter today and the machine kicked out 62 pennies into the reject tray. They must have been lodged because they got spit out a few at a time.

There was one steely and one as old as 1909. Nice little surprise.

Any mintmark on the 1909? A 1909 S (with or without a VDB) is a key date.

There was probably no magnet, since the steel cent was rejected.
