Congrats very nice find! I am suprised someone left them so they must have been in a huge hurry! Also suprised no one else noticed them so your wife must have got there just in time.

I showed this post to my wife this morning. She went to do our Friday food shopping and after she checked out she stopped at the coinstart machine. She never used one before and was reading it, then she checked the reject slot and got 1 1947 roosie and 3 newer Canadian dimes. She called me when she got to the car. She was so happy, then she said if want the silver be ready to help bring the groceries in.

Amazing :shock: :!: Maybe the person who did the dump had never used a coinstar before and didn't know to look in the reject bin.

Anyway, great score!

I'll never walk past a coinstar again without looking in the bin!
