I stopped a Walmart in Sterling Heights, MI to pick up a some booze for my uncle. When I got out of the car I found a "lucky penny" laying in the parking lot.
After the booze purchase I headed to the Coin Star machine. Just ahead of me were two girls who stopped at the machine before me. As they dumped a baggy of coins in, I looked at the reject shoot and could see it was loaded with quarters. I thought for sure the would grab the coins out of the reject shoot and try to dump them into the machine. the DID NOT, they grabbed their receipt and walked away.
I went up to the machine and risking the Covid virus scooped up all the change.
I scored $5 in clad quarters (all beat up) probably why the machine rejected them.
20 cents in clad dimes,
30 cents in nicklers
2 tokens, 1 1982 centavos and and Asian coin.
2 clad Canadian quarters.
SILVER SCORE:
5 Washington quarters, 1943, 1953, 1961, 1963, 1964 (typo fixed)
1 Canadian quarter 1964
2 Rosies 1961, 1964.
Also my Lucky Penny from the parking lot.
Since the Pandemic I have looked at 5 coin stars. This was the only score. I figure the chances of getting a good score is higher than normal because people are running low on cash, and this is the only place to currently turn in coin.
Stay safe, and well,
Keep on Searching.
