In all the chaos of the end of year, I had a coin machine reject win.

When ever I go to businesses I always check those machines. I do find foreign coins. And I find silver coins. Those machines reject silver.
I have been collecting coins since 1963. In 2010, I was able to start ordering boxes of halves from one bank. Another bank ordered me boxes of cents, nickels and dimes.
When I got finished with the boxes, I would take them to a different bank (that had a coin machine) to deposit. One day they saw me parking in front of their front door
and as I walked in with my bags of coins they had already opened the machine so they could replace the bags when they got filled. The reject system wasn't working.
I reached up into the reject and was able to get coins come out. Going through them I found an 1820 Large Cent. It was in VG condition. That bank does not have those
machines any more. I now have to wrap them to deposit and get my cash back.
 

Do you have a date on the SLQ ? A nice find either way !

NO date under 10 x, its beat but very much a SLQ and the price was right.
 

SCORE! grats
 

Type I or II on the SLQ?

Not sure, I have found so few in my lifetime that I never learned the differences. Here are closeups maybe you can tell.

It has STARS below eagle on reverse, so it's a 1918 or later. 1916 & 1917 have NO STARS on reverse. I have 4 No Stars, but neither of them is a 1916.
