CSH

I enjoy CRH and I have had some decent luck lately checking coinstars. I always check them whenever I go to a store that has one. I even started going into walmart anytime I go to a store near one just to check their coinstar and leave. I think I might start a new term called CRH (coin star hunting). I just got back from shopping at walmart and I pulled out 66 cents in clad, 2 foreign coins and a 1953 rosie. I decided I was going to take all the clad I find and use that at the end of the year to buy either some silver coins or a gold coin depending on how much I have and what type of coins I am into at that time.

Anybody else ever find themselves planning their shopping destinations based on if their is a coinstar there? I have also purposely went into a grocery store during my lunch break just to check a coinstar. I also have to fight the urge to stop at a wegmans on my way home from work just to check the machine.

I always look, and I've checked many, MANY reject slots. My total over several years is 1 crusty zincoln.

I'm a vendor and I'm in and out of multiple stores daily and I always check in and around every Coinstar. I have come across quite a few silvers doing this. I actually had your same idea of making my own Coinstar log but my finds have slowed as of late

I won't purposely go to one but if I happen to pass by one I check it out. Nothing yet

I have noticed that a few coinstars I check semi-regularly never had any rejects. I would Der if they just are not used much or people are just making sure they take all rejects. I dono k ow for certain , but I have pulled a few dollars in silver from coinstars

You're one cent ahead of me...

Does anyone ever check the small waste bin next to the coin star? I will toss some of the junk that won't get accepted in their. More so if it's foreign. I pulled all the old scratch off tickets out once. One was a $20 winner!

Most of the ones I check don't have a waste bin next to them. I have found silver under the machine once. I always take a quick glance under the machine now.

I have a spot in my CRH excel chart where I log any reject chute or eyeball finds by denomination and it calculates how many ounces of "free" silver I'll get (based on current spot) when I eventually cash it in to buy silver



That's my 2016 total so far. Haven't found any silvers yet but I've found over half an ounce of free silver

I'm up to about 20 Rosie's and a few mercs from coinstars. Believe it or not I've found a few coins on the top of the machine
