While doing my grocery shopping today, I checked the store's coinstar machine and found a few items in the tray.....A token, a 1960 Canadian nickel and what I assumed was a shiny new clad dime. After looking more closely at it I realized it was actually a nearly mint condition 1963 SILVER Roosevelt. This is silver #3 for the year at Coinstar.

Nice saves in the coinstar. My son and I are up to 12 silver coins found in our coinstar machine.

I checked the machine at China Mart on Sunday, incognito, and found ... some lint.

That was great !!!!

Got me thinking, I wonder if any silver coins don't get rejected if the driver who unloads the machines switches them out with their own clad coins
