You people won't believe this one! I was leaving foodlion(grocery store) tonight an a guy was using the coinstar machine an I saw he dropped a dime so me being the nice guy I am said you dropped a dime..I picked it up turned out be a barber dime..so I said hey I want this one I'll give you a dime for it... he said no keep it.. I then looked into his return tray on the machine it was filled with all silver coins!!! barber quarters 8 total, barber dimes 17 total, merc dimes 7 total, Rosie dimes 41 total,silver washington quarters 11 total, 10 pennies ( 5 wheaties , 5 ,43 steel )I then asked him wow where you get all these coins? He tells me he found them at work.. I said you found a cache? he said I guess I don't know.. he said I have silver dollars an half's also..I said really he said here in my pocket he pulled out 3 silver dollars ( 1 Morgan 2 peace) 8 half's ( 3 Standing Liberty,1 Franklin's , 4 JFK 3 SILVER ONE CLAD 1971 CLAD CORRECT?) I said I'll buy them all he said face value cause the machine won't take'em.. I paid 18.00 for them all the coins some are in what i would say at least Au-50 to Ms I just started to get into coin so I can't grade myself yet... the one peace looks like it was minted yesterday!! I don't have pics yet I just got home had to write this before I forgot details.. but hope to have some soon!! What a unbelievable night!!!

WHAT'S NEXT

because its a "bought" item rather than a found item --he paid the guy for them and thats what most likely keeps it from being a banner find - still a great snag even if its not "banner" bound

Good for you!

I've seen quite a few posts from people that have scored at those Coinstar machines, but not as big a score as yours!!!!

I'm either gonna hang out at those machines or see if I can buy one to put in a Walmart and modify it to accept those oldies.
