Coinstar and the Mrs.

[mxh5891]

Dropped the wife off to go grocery shopping. When. She came back to the car she drops a bunch of coins into my hand. She found them in the coin star. It was about $1 in clad, a 43 steel cent, and a 47 Rosie. She always made fun of me for checking, but I guess she decided to check since I was waiting in the car. I guess I will keep her around awhile longer.

I'm in the habit of always checking as well. Found over 2 bucks in one last week at the supermarket. Better than a coupon!

Maybe like you should make HER check the machines in the future. Sounds like she has better luck than you do.

My luck with coinstars is very streaky...I went a month of finding silver almost weekly in them. Lately my luck has been pretty bad. I have no problem finding clad in or around them. I figure I will save up what I find and cash it in for whatever silver coins are tickling my fancy at the moment. Just cashed in some metal detecting clad for a 1929 vf35 standing liberty graded by NGC.

http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/asset.php?fid=1087912&uid=105331&d=1466311820 This is what awaited me when I walked into my local supermarket this morning... I had a grin a mile wide!!! Score! My first coinstar silver along with a Canadian and 7 more quarters. It was like finding a $5 bill, but even better!

As far as I know... I have 3 within walking distance of me and they're all like that.

Way to go! My younger daughter checks them out now too. Hasn't been much around here lately except for a penny or two here and there until today. Stopped to get a few things at the grocery store and there was $2.40, most I've ever found. 8 quarters, 4 nickles & 2 dimes but no silver this time.

I just had an idea! I'll tape over the return and check it later!

Bet you that tape will be gone before you step out the door. Or at least a few minutes...most of the machines I see are used fairly often. I bet there are a ton of people who check their return slot for left overs. I know if I saw tape over the return slot I'd rip it off in a heart beat.

My wife used to be "ho-hum" about my coin collecting........until I showed her the Red Book values on some of the coins she brought home from shopping. We have a tray in the LR where she used to deposit her coins..........now she brings them right to my sorting table!!
You've got a good little lady, there..........

I've seen people looking under them before and I seem to recall a kid on Tnet that always checked underneath. I was back at the same one I mentioned above today and there were 4 quarters in it--I'm wondering if maybe the settings are off, some new some older but no silver ones yet.

Ever see a 45 year old with no shame scrounge on the floor under a coinstar? 4 times a week, I get down low...the looks I get? Don't even care. Ha!
