When we stopped at the Star Market for a few things today, I headed first toward the COINSTAR machine, but it was being used by a young lady, dumping a lot of change. Great ! I'll be the first one to check the reject slot after she leaves. 5 minutes later, she's still dumping change. Finally, after another minute, I see that it's vacant. I hot-foot it over there to see if she left anything good in the reject slot. WHOA ! The whole bottom of the slot, which is about 3" x 4" is wall to wall coins, at least two coins deep. Took a few scoops to get them all. This was the largest coin count from my COINSTAR raids so far.
When I got home, the total count was 76 coins, including a silver Rosie dime (1964), my 3rd or fourth COINSTAR silver in 2017. In February, when I first started setting aside the COINSTAR finds in a small zip-lock baggie, I told the club I belong to (MTHA) that I would report a final tally at the end of one year. Today, I had to switch to a large baggie, as the first one was already chock-full. (see photos, with today's haul and breakdown). About six more weeks to complete the first year's total.
