This is Why I Check The Coin Star || Old Silver

[@ScorpioBornIn69]

Latest silver coin I found was a 1959 dime several weeks ago at a Coinstar at another Winn & Dixie close where I live.

Back in the day a penny could buy alot more than today so I'm assuming a half penny could also buy more. Lol

[@MYGOLDCOIN101]

The value of the copper it's made from has surpassed its own face value, at around 7 Cents and the numismatic value of about $1

[@unapologeticallypatriotic3853]

@@MYGOLDCOIN101 you were asking why they would've made a half cent so big and I believe that because back then 1 cent could actually buy something where as today not so much. So the cents and half cents were used frequently unlike the pennies of today that just usually get discarded in a sticky cup holder in moms Buick. Lol

My biggest find of finding foreign coins when I was at a Winn & Dixie food store several years back in Orlando right outside of Disney World, where there's a Coinstar. When I looked in the return pocket and was filled with 25-cent pieces from the Bahamas and Burmuda, 20 quarters each making it 40 total coins.

That's incredible, I would say the biggest haul was in 2013 were I found several dollars worth of coins, wheats and other oldies.

What was the most valuable coin you ever found?

[@stumpy31952]

cause you could buy a loaf of bread with a half pence

[@MYGOLDCOIN101]

Wow, that's so cool, I love bread!

How did you get those from coin star?? Does your wife work for that company? Very curious and eager for an answer!

[@MYGOLDCOIN101]

Hit a jackpot, its not the first time, my gf work for the business that has the coin star in the building, but really anyone can scoop up the rejected coins, if one there first to do so.

You should get a job emtying out Coinstar machines so you can make coin find videos very regularly. I bet you would make a good amount of side money from selling the coins and making lots of videos.

[@MYGOLDCOIN101]

Hey, that would be an awesome job, not sure how that works though ha ha, gosh there would be a so many good finds.

@@MYGOLDCOIN101 Well because of Covid it seems like lots of people are still on unemployment so really good chance they are hiring. I do not think it requires much training but I am sure they will do a background check since honesty would be so important. But you seem like a really ethical person so that should be no problem for you.

[@upscaleflipin6666]

How about you go buy a box of rolled coins and your wife buys some and do video to see who gets the best coins good luck

I did order a $200 box of nickels that should be arriving this week. I'd like to shoot for a live stream coin unboxing if possible.
