I went back to the sugar pot cwr dime bank today and picked up another $350 which gave up 1952 D, 1962 D , 1963 D, 1964. The teller also had $11 in halves which produced a 1955 Franklin !!. Later I stopped at a supermarket stopping first at the coinstar finding 17 cents in clad US junk $2.30 in Canadian which included a twoney 1 10 pesos from Chile, 17 Euro coins total value 11.80 Euros, 5 Mexico coins, 1 5 shekel Isreal, 2 United Kingdom, 2 Thailand coins

Did you find all of those in the reject tray? If so, that's quite the score!
Yuuup thats the first place I reach for
 

It's like you found a $20 bill in the reject tray with those euros. Put them on feebay and I promise you someone will pay you full value for them. Just be careful with shipping.

The 1955 is one of the 2 Franklins I have yet to find in the wild...though I did finally buy one. Did you check if yours was the Bugs Bunny version?
 

I checked it out under my loupe it doesnt appear to be the bunny version Im still totally happy to get it
 

that's a lot of nice finds today. And that's a lot of coins from a reject tray. I've still never found anything from one of the coinstar machines myself. I was at a store earlier today (Tues) that had one and found nothing once again. But I did ask at the customer service counter for halves and I was told someone had just got some the day before. The lady at the customer service said they opened the coinstar machine and sold them to the customer. I didn't even know they could or would do that for customers. Has anyone else heard about something like this? Maybe if the coinstar machines don't accept silver they would be all clad anyway, I don't know.
 

Nice finds from the coinstar machine! :icon_thumright: I always look in the reject tray and under the machine. I have gotten lots of foreign coins, clad, and a few silver dimes and quarters.
 

Which coins from the UK? The ones pre-1947 that look silver are silver. (pre-1920 are sterling, 1920-1946 are 50% silver)
 

I love coinstar. I can dump 4k Nickels with no problem (and its free for me). The only think that I hate is that it constantly tells you to check the reject tray. So anything "different" people will take with them.
