Loose bag from bank........................... .

[obediah]

Thought he was awful eager to sell it to me, was right too as it was a total Skunker of an $800 loose Bag of Halves, even lost .50 as one was a John Adams gold colored coin that is not currency.

But did go pay property taxes (803) in Halves, certain banks in area are authorized to take Tax payments, two of them refused the coin payment the third took it.

But for a bank last week that allowed me to buy bag off their Coinstar machine 2010 so far would be pathetic, that bad yielded 278.

Uh, gold colored coin is a U.S. dollar. You made 50 cents.

I thought the Coin Star machines rejected the silver coins

Machines in the banks aren't coinstars. At least mine aren't anyway. They separate and count by size.

No it is NOT a $ coin; it says on the reverse "THE DIARIST - Son of the second president and minister to various foreign countries secretary of state after presidency became anti-slavery leader in Congress - OLD MAN ELOQUENT" (the bold above is around the border, rest in center text)

If memory is correct he was Ambassador to France at age 14 an amazing feat, doubt any of our day could or would have the knowledge base to do the same.

Doubt they are actually Coin Star, just used that term for lack of one to call them- guess Bank coin machine would be more accurate.

Did find a number of Banks that have them but NOT where the public or even customers can use them themselves, they are all behind the counter for Tellers to use for customer.

Apparently worth more than 50 cents.

Yeup, that is it only mine is much cleaner looking- will have to watch that auction, if it sells near what is being asked it would make it worth more than a Half, wow!

I've gotten a few of those presidential tokens, and I've hung on to them in my junk bag. I doubt that they're worth what the seller is asking for. I don't have a JQA though. I think I've gotten Buchanan, Fillmore, and maybe Tyler. I'd have to check.

Kindest regards,
Kantuck

Can I see a picture, I've never seen anything like that.

I had a bunch of those President tokens and they dont sell worth a crap on E-Bay. I bought a cigar box full of tokens at a Antique Auction a few years ago for 10 bucks, it had assorted tokens, I did quite well with it, but the President ones were the bad bombs. I will try to put my link on here from the auction.
