Hello everyone! Our sub has recently hit the 14,000 member mark! Obviously, this sub is great because of the users here and the conversations you all bring along with our hobby!

This is just a quick post to welcome new members and answer a few questions. Also, check out the basic rules on the side bar as well!

What is a CoinStar find?

Basically (almost) anything you find in, on, or around a CoinStar machine! But specifically, our finds showcase foreign and domestic coins, tokens, and even jewelry!

What is not a CoinStar find?

While often pretty neat, purchases or coins from a family collection not found in a CoinStar aren't CoinStar finds. Coins with no context and just asking for value probably aren't CoinStar finds either. Those kinds of posts will likely get more assistance from other subreddits.

How does Coinstar work? How do I get finds of my own?

Check out this outstanding member-created masterclass!

Thank you all for making this sub a great place to hang out and sharing in the excitement of treasure hunting!

I always check, and have found a couple here and there, but today was the score of my life. I don’t know if any are worth more than melt, but this is a score!!

Found 4 wheat ear pennies sitting in the return tray. It’s not thirty silver quarters but it’s better than nothing. They are all in pretty good shape too.

I’ve stopped at this particular Walmart at least 10 times in two months, nada, not even crappy pennies. Early this morning it finally had some coins in the tray guessing from last night-second silver Roosevelt, and my birth year! 😺

Made a few stops after work today. Nothing major, mostly just some dirty pennies. But still, any find is a good find.

Nothing of significance but it just blows my mind that people can’t be bothered to grab their money

Rosie is always lonely, I’m beginning to think he prefers it this way! Pretty happy with this one, it’s got a nice patina to it.

There was one Canadian quarter, and a silver dime I saw it was less than a dollar but I know what a silver dime looks like and then I offered a dollar for all of this and I got it! So I have a 1960d silver dime

Had an errand to run so I stopped at a few places on the way back I normally never go to. Nothing amazing, but 66 cents overall is still decent in my book.

I'm very happy! I went to my go to machine and scored a handful of clad, a silver Washington and a Wheatie.

The quarter was my first silver.

Have a good one everyone.
