FINALLY I find something in a Coin Star!!!!!!
Instant modern token collection!



I rechecked the hole hoping for a Cuck-e-Cheese token, but no such luck

Nice finds. Haven't tried coin star hunting. Only after I put my change through it. Would love to dig one. Apparently a missed an 1890s on in one lot I've been digging. Have to go back the day after it rains. Whole different experience with the detector. Less concrete dirt helps too.

Huh change is so scarce they must be putting junk tokens in the darn machines!

Nice Steve! Those Canadian Nickels are cool. Haven’t see one of those since I lived in Idaho. Congrats!!!

Go to the lower level locker room area at Seven Springs. Looks like you have 2 chances at opening a locker where someone stashed a ton of loot...

Till this day every time I walk in the grocery store I’ll look at the coin machine and nobody even leaves a penny it’s been four years now maybe I should change grocery stores LOL

If you're checking, is eveyone looking through the holes in the bottom of the basket for things like gold earrings and silver necklaces? They can be retreived with a new #2 pencil and some two sided tape or similar.

Nice finds Steve, I know the feeling of them always being empty......but the first thing that caught my eye was "where is the date on that nickel??"…...until a little research told me it's a 2002, a one year variation where the date (dual-dated actually 1952-2002) is on the obverse to commemorate Elizabeth II's 50th anniversary as Queen.

Thanks for letting me learn something and thought I'd share!

HH all!

Hi Greg, I saw the dual date on the nickel obverse, but didn't think anything of it. So you taught me something too.

How about this...
I give you the tokens and you can execute your crazy scheme. If you don't get arrested, you keep the loot and buy me lunch

Treasure is where you find it!! Or not!!

 

[against the wind]

Well, at least you guys have got a Coinstar. I don't know how far I have to travel to find one.

 

[sylvia40]

You’re 5 cents richer (4 cents?). Tokens are cool, too. Like the mountain resort coin.

 

[Mackaydon]

It's a great start !!
Don......

Other than a 1918 wheat penny in change I haven't had much luck. But these are something keep an eye out for. CUD errors. Where the die brakes and the blank is pressed into the backing plate. Appatently rare after 2000. Found the cud penny on my girlfriend's trunk table after her cat knocked over her change holder. Not mega valuable but +$34 on a penny you found on a table works for me. Shown under magnification but a pretty obvious eye visible error.

Nice token finds, congrats!

 

[Trezurehunter]

Looks like some nice modern tokens Steve. That is a good haul for one swipe.

 

[SD51]

O Boy, now you've got the Coinstar fever Steve and there's no cure!

I think it's funny the machine kicked out our Canadian Nickel Steve.

The ‘no-date’ on the coin’s face commemorated the 50th Anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's reign in 2002.
In case you’re interested (although probably not ) the metal composition of our Canadian Nickels from 1999 – present is 94.5% steel, 3.5% copper, 2% nickel plating.

Here's an early-19thc horse rosette I found in 2015.
Every time I look at it, I think of our Canadian Nickel design.

Looks like the nickel was patterned after your rosette
