Good Coin Star Day

[kestrelia]

Today I had one of my best Coin Star days. I let two people with large amounts of coins pass through me. I usually do this, partly so as not to tick off the bank with me hogging the machine, and partly because an offer to buy someone's rejects, "I collect Canadian and old coins, etc." sometimes pays off. Today it was a good pay off. The lady's rejects had a silver 2002S Indiana quarter, my first of those. I think only some 800K were minted. The guy's s rejects were good as well. I heard a lot of coins rejected. He let me pay face for them all. In a big mix of Canadians, most pre-80, were three 50% silver 1968's quarters and one 80% silver 1963 dime. He also gave me seven Wheats, one of which was steel, 1943. Happy Cinco De Mayo!

Thanks for reading. Good luck everyone.

Congrats on the Indiana silver quarter! How does something like that end up at Coin star machine? Someone would have to crack open a Mint set and then dump the coin. Doable...but why?

I always imagine some kid getting coins from grandpa for birthday gift and not caring that they're collectable. Who knows I guess, but someone spent way more than 25 cents on it at one point. Too bad the mint doesn't crank out gold dollar coins (like Sacs or Prez dollars) ... we might see a few of those around if they did.

Gotta love those coin machine finds. I have only found silver once, a Rosie dime.

I tried your approach today at my dump bank.....

When I arrived there today a young couple was loading bags of Penny's and the girl was putting the rejects in the shoebox that they brought with them, And not throwing them in the trash like some do. ( DARN ! ) So I decided to ask them if they would sell them to me, and that I would pay face value for them. They looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders and agreed but looked a little annoyed and amused all at the same time. They wouldn't even look me in the face. Well the dude kinda looked over the rejects and picked it over, keeping a couple of them, and than said he has 21 cents but they are mostly Canadian. I said that's fine I'll take them and flipped him a Quarter and they walked away.

I looked them over and he missed 1 Wheatie because it was kinda green and dirty but as it turned out the only U.S. penny in the bunch. 20 Canadian and 1 1916P Wheatie. The machine did take about 12 of the Canadians eventually because I kept running them through as I pushed the rest of my dumps through.

Good try mojo. It doesn't always work, but so far I've scored probably 4 US silver dimes, 2 US silver quarters, 1 Cdn silver dime, 2 Cdn silver quarters, and one Indian head penny this way. ... plus a whole lot of foreign coins, but it is easier just to say you'll buy it all.
