Coinstar find - 1864 2 Cent

[stealthycat]

I have a local Kroger that's not in the best of neighborhoods .... I've gotten a couple of silver dimes, tokens, mexican coins, canadian ... nothing just real awesome but this morning, 4 coins on top. One was a 'no cash value' token, one a chinese coin maybe? another was a school district coin and the 4th ??

1864 2 Cent .... first one I've ever held, not great shape but pretty easy to acquire

AWESOME find... I'm still waiting for my first find of any kind at a coinstar, but seeing post like this keep me checking them...

Great find!

I know there's one of those in some local park with my name on it. Someday . . .

Wow funny of all coins to find in a coinstar machine...

Nice find...

here is the Japanese / Chinese coin - anyone know anything about it ? ( I deleted the photos - no use to post photo's of a newer yen right ??)

the little coin I think is a school district lunch token - those haven't been given out in decades (I don't know what the 21 stand for )

I think its just a modern 10 yen or yan. I can't remember how you spell it or say it. 21 likely stands for the city district the school was in. That token is older than the yen good find. That 2 cent though is an awesome find, don't find those detecting very often let alone finding one in a coin star !!

Keep @ it and HH !!

[Carolina Tom]

Really nice score... especially from a Coinstar!

Ditto on what Mud(S.W.A.T) said. Modern Japanese 10 Yen coin, I lived over there for three years. Awesome 2-center, still hoping to find my first soon. Nice!

Man the coinstar gods must like you. I never even get lincolns. Congrats on a great find.

Nice! All i ever see in the coinstar return is dust.

I've been lucky ... 2 silver dimes, a steel war penny, now this 2 cent coin ... I stop almost every work day and look see, sounds stupid but its worked

 

[Trezurehunter]

Nice coinstar find.

 

[BigWaveDave]

I have maybe a dozen 2 cent pieces... none of which are as nice as yours... congrats on a great find!

 

[Showtime2385]

Man some people just step in haha

 

[Metal Illness]

That is sweet! I guess this is something I'm going to have to start doing as well. You have piqued my interest, wow. Congrats! It's funny, seeing a copper that is not green seems unusual to me now!

 

[UnderMiner]

Just imagine what actually got into the coinstar if that 2 cent piece was mixed in with that lot.

I wonder just how many unusual / odd / old coins go through ? I wonder if people who run those machines check ?
