First coinstar silver

[rainorshine]

Went to Wally world after work today to get the family groceries. On my way out the door happened to check the reject tray on the coinstar. I could see a dime and snagged it quick and continued my way out the door. I knew it had a chance of being silver due to the off colored gray it was and to the fact it was in the reject tray. Since it was dark it took until I was able to get into my truck, turn on the dome light, and verify it was indeed silver. 1964. Just squeaked it in. Good way to end a long work week that included me launching a nail from a nail gun through my thumb.

That's crazy huh Ive got two dimes out of coinstars once I went to Miejers grocery store and this guy went to cash in some coins right before I got to it and he found a pile of coins and I'm not sure what they were but I remember the clerk saying to keep em when he asked about it I just missed some possible really good finds I don't know how anyone could miss that many coins and not know it anyway good job!!!!!!

Nice...it's that time of year...we'll take silver any way we can get it! I scored my first a few weeks ago...a 1953 Rosie...I said "hey Mr. Roosevelt, looks like you've had a rough go of it...let's get you home and into retirement"...ha...he's living it up now and perfectly happy being out of circulation...ddf

Ouch! Nail Gun thumb shot=No Good! Wait....without that good old opposible thumb how'd you make the grab?

Sorry 'bout the thumb. Good job on the 64 grab! Silver for free!

Nice save! Good thing you're luckier with the Coinstar than with the nail gun.

After reading on here that Coinstars could have hidden treasure, I've been checking the ones around here over the last couple of weeks. Always got a big zero until today. Walked past one at WallyWorld today, and glanced into the return tray, and saw a handful of coins. My eyes got huge, and I quickly gathered them and threw them in my pocket and walked off, was going to just check them over in the car. Got to the car, pulled out 3 quarters, 3 dimes, a nickel, and 3 pennies. I wa thinking jackpot, 6 silvers, only to look at them and see they were all recent clad coins. �� At least I am $1.13 richer...ha.
On a more positive note that happened later today, I was going through Burger King, and got my change back from buying a hamburger. In my change, one of the pennies was a 1944 Wheat Cent. I still love finding those in everyday cash transactions, although it doesn't happen that often anymore.
