Folks... coinstar dreams DO come true.
There may be some of you out there as obsessed with coinstar checking as I am. I don't know. Maybe.
I DREAM about it. I dream about that time when I walk up to the old green machine and the reject is brimming with silver. Usually my dream includes walkers and SLQs, sometimes even Barbers.
But I will settle for what I got today. I check my local machine 3 or 4 times a day, religiously. Sometimes more on the weekends. It's a small town... easy to go give it a check, even if I don't have any business at the store. It's a practice that has netted me over 30 silvers and some other cool old coins in the past couple years.
Well, I just blew that out of the water in one trip. I'll let the pics do the rest of the talking, other than to say I was weak in the knees and could not carry on getting the few items I needed from the store after I grabbed all this from the reject. I had to leave hastily.
34 mercs, 22 silver rosies, a 1982 George Washington commemorative half (90% silver), a wheatie, a clad railroad quarter, 1948 foreign coin, and an assortment of modern change.
My adrenaline is shot for the day. I know it's nothing great as far as dates/mints or rare coins, but I will take every bit of it. 57 silver coins in one haul at the coinstar. Heck, there was even a merc on the floor in front of the machine.
I'm sure my dreams will be even bigger from now on.
Thanks for looking!
I edited to add a few more pics. The half looks in pretty decent shape and they didn't make that many, so I figured I might as well put it in something protective!
