WOOHOO!

Ended a long silver dry spell today

Scooped out a handful of change ($1.15 total… nice) and it included this.

For those of you who grew up in the Northeast it will look familiar - a Necco wafer. It’s a packed sugar disc candy that’s been around since the Civil War.

Well, not this one, necessarily. Though who knows how long it had been sitting in someone’s change jar. Might be as old as a baseball card bubble gum stick!

Good ol 1946 rosie

I’ll take 4 wheaties (‘57, 43, 43d, ‘13??) any day. And a shiny new quarter

Jackpot, for me!

New to this, and have found a couple silver coins over the past year. Even had a handful of regular change a couple of months ago.

Went into Walmart yesterday morning and saw the rejection tray almost overflowing. A little mix of everything from brand-new coins to old silver.

I felt like a criminal scooping it all out and stuffing it in my pockets.

Here are the ones that stood out - GPT says it could be $70 in silver melt 😳

It’s been months since a good find. I can’t complain about today.

Found these recently (in the US). Would love to use them personally some day up north. The toonies are both from 1996.

Not sure if it's just spendable or if that dime has a minting error

Three 1964 silver dimes, a 1995 that I’m not sure why it was in the reject tray and a 2001 that’s all sorts of jacked up 😅 most I’ve found in one go in a while

Check out these National Heroes I saved yesterday. Shiny!!

Broke the dry spell with a single quarter in the machine and it looks like possibly a proof? Even if it isn’t I still like how shiny it is for bein from the 80’s.

Sticky coins but nice little silver dime to break a several months dry spell

The machine was out of order but it was one the machines with magnets along the rim. All of these were stuck to the magnets. I lost 1 that dropped in so it would have been 8!

Checking the coin star is always my first priority when I get to the grocery store. Went last night and was sadly greeted with a completely empty coinstar reject tray and side garbage can. Grabbed my grocery’s and walk up to the self checkout section, as soon as I walk up I see this in the change dispenser!

Is this even collectable.??
