I hope you were getting a gift card with those coins. Otherwise you are paying 9.8 cents off each dollar for a machine to count for you. I love the gift card aspect of coinstar. But really sweet find. I hear people returning coins all the time and just from the sound it makes I can tell if there's silver in the mix or not. More often than not, I have found out that the coinstars won't take IKE dollars and have gotten quite a good collection of those by switching out a dollar for dollar. When I get enough saved up I plan on taking them to the LCS. They give me 1.05 for each IKE.
Hope you get more silver.
Hugs and Silver for everyone, Garoulady
