Gold and big silver in the coinstar??

matmit · Oct 15, 2018

That's right folks, gold in the coinstar!
Today I saw someone dumping a huge bucket full of coins and they jammed it up.
After they left, I walked up and laying right there on the counter was the 1967 Kennedy half :shock:

I don't know if they thought it was counterfeit or what?
Next, I noticed a small baggie with a few items: pick, watch battery, and GOLD!!!!
Lastly, were all the other coins still in the tray, as the machine was in error.
I could not make this up if I tried...

OK, this is just crazy! Who would...why would they...what the...??? Whatever happened, it was good for you! Congrats on the nice score.

That token that says 'no cash value'...yet they still put it through to see if Coinstar accepts it :lol:

Btw, congrats on a nice haul! Definitely one you'll remember :yes:

Like, score!
I sent in a crown I wrestled away from my dentist and sent it in for melt.
Dental gold is usually higher than 14k but not as high or as soft as 22-24k.
According to a guy that bought a lot of it the average purity is about 16k.
I got close to $150 for mine so easy money.

Yeah, I can just hear an old bumpkin "I lost my tooth, where is it? We took it to the coinstar grampa :lol:

I will be taking it in for valuation, but will probably keep it with all the other gold I found. I have a goldsmith friend who can melt it all down and make me something cool

Someone had to get a new crown and they forgot they stashed the old one in the coin jar :lol:

BTW, I just had an old crown removed and mine had a slot in it just like your gold one. That's how they remove them, they cut a vertical slot and pry it open so it pops right off.
