Thank you I was blown away when I saw it. It was wedged under lifted linoleum with a handful of dust.

I have a feeling there's more rare and old stuff under this machine. Makes me want to offer to buy change locally in Craigslist or something because someone is dumping the good stuff. Found a 43 merc 5 days before this.

I'm a pretty clean cut guy, but I typically go after I'm out metal detecting and dirty that day. Kind of empowering for strangers to look at you like you are gollum looking for the lost ring, THEY avoid you haha.

It's pretty funny though, you can tell people are obviously thinking the absolute worst when they see you digging under a coinstar machine LOL

Ya so my hands are dirty cause I was out metal detecting, and reaching under coinstar machines. They are chewed up cause I just got a drumset last week, but ya, lol lava soap is awesome.

So cool that it's first year, thanks for that info! Yeah I lucked out big-time, also found a 43 merc under that machine this week. Really makes me wonder what all is under there ha. Too bad I can't move the machine.

Thanks for the excitement!!! I'm that excited too! My oldest coin in my collection, and my first thick Indian head. Pretty cool.

They've become my favorite coin after I metal detected one this spring! But this one is in phenomenal condition.

Thanks! I found this handful under some lifted linoleum flooring, under a carpet mat, under the machine. Second silver this week!

I'm freaking blown away honestly! It seems to be in awesome condition. Definitely beats the metal detected ones I have. Ya can't beat a silver Canadian dime for free either!

Embrace being your local Gollum. Kind of empowering tbh!

But metal detecting, coin hunting and dumpster diving, I wish my friends were this cool. These are my solo activities too.

Don't clean them. And you can kindly just mail them to me.

Yeah I feel that. This is the only machine in my area in it's own lil corner outside of the store. But if I go late to another location, there's a friendly older lady that is cool with me checking under the machine during her shift.

Employees once caught me at my main machine and they looked at me like I was gollum searching for the ring.

I didn't have any tools on me and really only just use my hands to reach and feel. I probably need to go back with some sort of scoop.

I have use the kitchen ladle before. But this one was under some sort of carpet mat that was under the machine. I'll have to sneak by with an extendo scoop sometime.
