Congrats! I'm still waiting on my first silver find from a Coinstar.

Me too! I have been checking all of them I see for a good while now. One day... :)
 

nice!..that was basically a lot easier finding silver than going thru rolls and rolls of dimes..congrats! :thumbsup:
 

I've never found a silver quarter in a roll, but found one via coinstar.
 

The nearest Coinstar to me sits right inside the front door to the supermarket so as soon as you walk in you are looking at it. Guess I'll need to be there are the right time.
 

I have reached into CS reject trays many a time, only to be rewarded with dirty stinky clad. Some day my time will come.
 

Problem with coinstars counters is that everyone is catching onto making sure they grab their coins. my thing now is that since I am a cashier and I am the normal nighttime cashier and they have to come to me to cash those slips, I ask them if they have any weird coins that didn't go through. More often then not they say no or give me a look, and sometimes I get lucky and someone who doesn't know or doesn't care gets out the handful of rejects. Even the canadian coins I know take a peek at. the 1942 canadian coins that I recently found out are 40% silver. Sometimes I get the ones who absolutely have no idea what they have. If they are younger, I educate them and point them to the nearest coinshop. then I swap out the silver or cool canadian coins for normal coinage. I have actually have had people bring silver to me saying it won't go through the machine and I switch it out for normal coinage so it does go through the counter.

Do you guys just look in the reject tray on the bottom, or do you have to open a flap and poke around? I just do a visual every time I go through the grocery store and haven't seen anything.

I also check the trash cans there.
 

Awesome! The girl at the pizza place gave me a silver dime the other night. I gave her $7 dollar tip on a $25 take out order. She saw me sifting through the change and asked why I was doing that. I told her about silver coins and she took the patience to search through some dimes on her own accord and gave me a 1949 dime as I was walking out the door. I told her what it was worth, but she said that my tip was greatly appreciated and wouldn't take the dime back.
 

Depends on what kinda coin counter it is. Most of the time you can do a visual but I have found if I stick my hand in there, sometimes coins can be hidden by standing up on their edges against the lip of the coin cup. as for looking for silver in rolls, I am finding that more and more if I get those plastic wrapper rolls that there are not any silver in them. I am getting better at figuring out what is silver and what is a canadian. Canadian coins tend to be smaller in diameter when I look at them through the rolls. Not my only way of telling though.

Got a nice quarter last week and two dimes a few weeks before.
Easy money.

I like that you are able to help people out when they want to swap those pesky older coins that the coin star won't take. Lol
 

I plan on making a false 'donation' big at the c-* machine, for that pesky change that doesn't go through.

I also come up to people, and ask for change when they are done, and give them a dollar for everything in the reject tray ( if I see AG )
