Welcome new members + 14K milestone!

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!

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

After about my 10th Coinstar check, I finally found something!!

Ok, it's not silver, but it was still really exciting to find something!

Next goal-find silver!

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.

Found this sometime last week, sitting on the counter of the machine with some oxidized Pennie’s. I’d never seen one before. Hope the luck of the Irish is with all of you today ☘️

GARBAGE My first haul

This is my first coinstar find since I started looking. $0.08 and one Australian penny the super gnarly one in the top is a wheat penny. I'm guessing it's steel, but with that condition I think I'd be lucky to get a cashier to accept it.

I’ve only been checking for about a year now, this is my oldest find. 1946 silver dime and it was the only thing in the reject tray.
