I went and cashed in about $260 in clad from the first six months of this year. After I finished with the dimes, I checked the reject tray and there were 3 dimes it didn't like. I check them out and one was a 1961 Rosie for my 51st silver coin of the year. I don't know how I missed that when I sorted my finds. I even double check the edges after I tumble them, but thankfully coinstar machines don't like the silver coins. Jason

You must be going blind, 'cause that stands out like a sore thumb Maybe it was already in the bin, did you check before you started dumping? Nice score regardless of origin...Congrats!

I am getting old but hopefully not blind yet Yeah I dumped my nickels in first and then emptied the bin before doing the dimes. Still stumped how I missed an obvious silver but I will take it. Jason

Buzz, I alway check the dates of the Rosies because as you said they don't always glitter. I guess I need to check better. Jason
