Coinstar Winter find

I shared this in a post on Today's Finds but wanted to share it with my brothers and sisters. We brought some change to a local coinstar which I try not to do. They charge about 10% on the dollar. Funds have been drying up lately and the change was looking inviting. We changed in about $74.00 in change.There is a rejection bin at the bottom for undesirable coins that coin star does not want to accept. With a lot of the coins coming from the ground, a good hand full were rejected. Many times when coins are rejected, I' ll run them a second time, because some are counted on the second run. I picked out all the rejected coins and placed them a second time in the tray. I noticed what appeared to be a pretty nice quarter in the rejected coins. The wings of the eagle were visible so I knew this wasn't a rejected foreign coin. I flipped the coin on its side sure enough no copper, flipped it again squinting to see the date and there it was1964. No mint mark so Philadelphia is its birth home. Numismatic value $6.50 but saw it on eBay in its condition for as much as 8.50 not bad for a rejected quarter. George
 
WTG George ! - I always check the coin reject but no goodies yet. However - - one time the coins over loaded the machine & the manager had to open it up. She said here's your coins and a couple more. I saw one small silvery one in the corner & said can I have that one also ? She said sure. After finishing up I checked & it was a silver Mexican coin, just smaller than a US dime.

Wow! I didn't know that coin was worth so much. Glad you found it.........it just payed for your coffee for a week!
 
Thanks guys the silver value is around $4.00 the collector value is much higher. I think since childhood I have ever found a couple silver coins in pocket change.I surely never expected to find one if this quality.
 
For some reason they reject silver. It's a good thing! I have found silver laying in there just while passing by. I told my son to check it one time and he came back with a handful of coins. $4.80 all Canadian. :thumbup:
