Crushed my oldest Coinstar find today by over 40 years!

[Immy]

The fourth stop on my usual route of ten machines is a grocery store that has a small waste basket next to the CS which had an empty container and other debris in it. So I took it outside the store to empty (glad no one stopped me, though I've done this before. Hey, I'm taking the trash out for ya! ) Grabbed a handful of loose coins at the bottom, brought it back in and promptly left. Waited till I got to the car to see what I had. Couple of tokens, a dateless wheatie, two foreigns...but what's this?
😲 😲😲
Holy moly! That's a two-cent piece!!! Flipped it over...1864. Mind...blown!


This was my previous oldest, a 1907 US/Philippines 20 centavos, which is still my oldest silver from CS, found in 2022.

Well you just confirmed Civil War era coins are still technically in circulation as of 2025, albeit in a coin reject tray. Congrats!

I'm getting groceries Friday AM and there is a coinstar on the way out. Better "take the trash out for them"

You got me beat by 3 years!
Mine was on top of the ice cooler beside the coinstar at my local grocery store December 12, 2018. (Damn! Nearly 7 years ago!!)
I never in my wildest dreams imagined finding a 2-center from the coinstar... but now I know I'm not the only one!!
Congrats!
