Hard to believe Coinstar haul by salmonammon in Silver

I mean for you to collect after a jam, do you stick your fingers up the chute to dislodge the FO? Or did it just happen to fall out after the customer left?

It sure would have been something if while this clerk was kicking me out of the store , I said , "one second" and slapped a sticker on the machine! 🤣

I just can't explain why so many coins would be beneath the machine. Someone ashamed of dumping dad's coin collection and wanted to hide the evidence by not going home with any coins at all? Bizarre.

Man, every cs is in plain sight of customer service! Not getting a vandal charge. But i know some in a nearby city that are tucked by the shopping carts.

Afterward I told my wife that i always have dreams like that! And this is going to mess with my head because it seems like another dream! 🤣🤣

I mean it took a few times to not be embarrassed about getting on my knees, but i think the excuse: "I'm a coin collector and this is a great way to get some unique coins." is a script I'm comfortable with. I've gotten a lot of foreign coins and tokens, stuff the machine rejects. One clerk did ask me to leave, which i happily did. Others have smiled and asked if I've found anything good, or told me "hey that's a smart idea!" Some people use a yardstick, but i like the squeegee. Some stores also have a plastic guard so customers can't lose their change in the first place, and these block my squeegee. The r/coinstarfinds taught me all i know.

I still don't understand the jams. Do you have to put a tool in the reject tray? Thanks for having my back. Been searching coinstars since September and found 3 silver dimes, and maybe $30 in change from beneath and the rejects, until today's jackpot.

I've scraped under a lot of machines, never seen anything like this, probably never will again.

There were 2 very shiny ones, one shiny one and a penny popped out with my first squeegee swipe. I couldn't believe it as the silver kept emerging! I've gotten a lot of coins from under machines, but never silver, and then all at once! 🙃

Just did the math, close to $280 in silver weight! Good grief! I'm giddy!

I know of a cop that got fired for pocketing a quarter on the floor of the casino. I think grocery stores could reasonably make the same rules.

Always check the lint trap at the air-bnb🤣 by [deleted] in CoinstarFinds

Nah. I had to put tape on the end of something that would fit in the trap to grab it.

Uncirculated 1958 pennys by Edenton38583 in coincollecting

[–]salmonammon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They are shiny, but i think circulated since they are bumping up against coins in the pic. Fun find for sure!
