A very worn clad Roosy dime in a Walmart Coinstar today. Almost looked counterfeit, but just heavily worn. Date is hard to read, but the mint mark is on the obverse, so it is definitely clad.

Late date Roosy dime

1930-P Lincoln cent

Thought I'd add a little tidbit about finding silver dimes in Coinstar machines...

Since Feb. 2012 I've been tracking silver that I've found or gotten for face value from various sources, Coinstar, vending machines, finding on the ground, etc.

I figure that I go to Walmart approx. once every three days or so. That is roughly 121 times a year. Since I've found 6 silver dimes in Coinstars at grocery stores (mostly Walmart) (no quarters by the way), that means that I check approx. 108 Coinstar machines before finding silver.

Anyone else have any stats on this?

I'm definitely being out-scooped at my regular Coinstar. I stop there 2-3x a week and the pickings have been quite sparse this summer.

Coinstar at the local Walmart...

Went when I first arrived at the store- nothing. Checked again when leaving and found the following:

4 dimes
1 nickel
4 pennies
Total of 49 cents

No good dates, except that one of the pennies is a pre-82 Lincoln (copper).

Yesterday at a Coinstar at Safeway found a token which said "No Cash Value".

Mutilated penny at the Coinstar at Walmart today.

First coinstar find in a while for me. Local Kroger. 2 pennies. One is a 1979 copper. Woooo hoooo!


Keep stacking.

Coinstar at Walmart- 11 cents (dime and penny)- no good dates.

2 cents at Food Lion coinstar. One damaged zincoln. One 1943 steel Lincoln cent. First score in months.

[Recyclersteve]

1943 steel cents, although not rare or particularly valuable, are VERY HARD to find in the wild. I'm not sure if I've seen one in circulation or a bank roll in the last 40 years or so. It is much easier to find War Nickels or Buffalo Nickels or even Indian Cents in my opinion.

Nice mid-month Coinstar score of 39 coins gave August a good total.

August Coinstar and found on the ground finds.

$.57 USD

Great Britain Pound $.10

[AuStruck]

$1.23 at Food Lion coinstar. Four quarters, two dimes, three zincolns. All common coins.

Note: I have found maybe 3 steel cents (1943) in coinstars over last 5 years. See above entry.
Indian head cents I have never found in circulation. My uncle says that when he was in grade school, in about 1955, a classmate showed him an Indian penny his parents had given him from circulation. But since then he doesn't recall an Indian penny in circulation. Not sure about the rarity of each in circulation. Steel pennies seem somewhat more common in circulation, perhaps only for me. (2017-1955 that's 62 years)

1987 Canadian dime- technically it was on the floor in front of the Walmart Coinstar machine.

[cwgii]

[Recyclersteve]

41 cents (quarter, dime,nickel, penny) in the Coinstar at the local Walmart.

No good dates... That last comment is not meant to refer to my college days.

[silverflake]

Jackpot for me at Kroger Coinstar. 34 cents. 3 dimes and 4 Lincolns. One copper. Most I ever found at a coinstar.

Keep stacking.

Dunno how often you guys see this, but lately I've been encountering "Machine Full" or "Out of Order" quite a bit. I visit 3-4 times a week (Smith's also has an ATM, post office, etc). Uber frustrating.
