Found me a Silver half

[Racso]

It’s been quite cold here in SoCal, we’re already in the low 50’s so me and wife decided to go get some hot chocolate at the store. As soon as we got there I went straight to the coinstar machine and noticed quite a few coins there. I grabbed them quickly and took off to where the wife was so we can both see what we found. The first obvious and only good coin was the 40% Kennedy half. I have checked that machine at least 15 times before and found nothing so this was a big surprise. Thanks for looking and good luck out there.

You need to check out that 1968 Canadian Dime.

1968
2.07 g 18.03 mm 99.9% nickel (172.5M)
2.33 g 18.034 mm 50% silver, 50% copper (70.4M)

Yours definitely looks silver to me, but what do I know?

What is a coin star machine? How were able to get the coins?

I thought it’s was silver too but unfortunately it’s magnetic.

It’s a machine people used to get rid of their change. It has a reject tray and most people who use it don’t check it and that’s where we come in

It is school money, is it something special. I have gotten some before and threw them away
