My Most Ridiculous Epic Coinstar Find Ever

I walk into Publix after work, last minute Valentines gifts on my list...
Before I get to shopping, I mosey on over to my neighborhood reject tray, and I see a shiney!

I reach in, and I feel two coins.... the nickel, I suppose was denied due to a rough edge, I’ll take it!..... but the other coin?.....

WHAT THE WHAT?

At first glance, I saw big copper.... King Someone on a old school foreign......

Once my failing eyesight locked on to the reverse, I knew I was having Italian tonight!...
1867!!! :headbang::headbang::headbang:

I’d like to thank the Coinstar Gods for their gift, as I really needed a win after some personal drama.... (all is well, I’m just surrounded by idiots.)

Thanks for looking!:hello:
 

Nice Work BWD! P.S. When you are the lead dog you are always surrounded by idiots :(
 

BTW I found a Maduro by Esteban Carrera called a Chupa Cabra its a 60 ring gauge and is very delicious (Beyond its price point) Hunt one down and check it out!
 

Sweet score Dave. :occasion14: I found mine in the mail back in 2015 from a friend I made here on Tnet. I sent him an Indian head and a Merc. (sort of a Christmas exchange)

I dug a very badly worn 5 centisimi at an old cabin location that I've hit several times. Date was worn, but the coin was minted from 1861-1867 and it had a Naples mint mark. Yours is in awesome shape! Congrats!
 

Nice find! Those CoinStars are really producing! :occasion14:
 

Dude if there was a banner for coinstar finds that thing would be up there immediately! Very cool. Someone's coin collection got mingled in with their spare change.
 

That's a great find. It amazes me still...you never know what you might find next.
 

Awesome Dave! Every time I check the Coinstar machines at our local Walmarts, they look like they have been licked clean (I could swear I see chew marks...) Sub :laughing7:
 

I’d been in a slump with reject trays lately, so this gives (another) definition of Slump Buster!:laughing7:
 

Nice find BWD! Does pay to hit the Coinstar on the way out.:icon_thumright:
