I finally had a good Coinstar haul yesterday! I stopped by the bank to pick up some CWR halves (nothing interesting to report there) and had to stop at Walmart on the way home.

I always check the Coinstar there despite never finding anything of significance. This time, when I looked into the reject chute, all I could see were coins. It was loaded with goodies! Lots of Coinstar firsts for me including a Susan B. Anthony dollar, silver quarter, and v+k angel token (pewter).

This helps to make up for the lack of coin roll finds lately. I search mostly pennies, nickels, and halves (when I can get them), but the pickings have been pretty slim this year.

This gives me hope knowing that people are still dumping their coin jars, silver and all, sending those coins back out into the wild. It's still out there.

Great finds. Only got .21 on my last Walmart visit.

Same for me today. I checked the reject tray, then ran my hand down the inside of the dump bin, still nothing. Then I noticed on the right hand downward slope of the dumper there were three coins barely sticking out. Used my credit card to carefully slide them back up. Got two clad dimes and a stinkin Lincoln. So, always look closely at the far rh of the dumper, sometimes coins get stuck there. Might be best to carry a paper clip to pull the coins back out.
