Hello, as advised in the earlier article there are many ways that you can grow your collection simply by knowing where to look. Today, I would like to make a quick post to show you that these tips actually work and what I have been able to add to my collection through some of the methods in previous articles. Many of you likely do not know this, but I am currently a Courtesy Clerk (AKA Bagger) at Kroger, and as you likely can imagine customers are consistently throughout the day while I am at work. This oftentimes leads to a lot of people dropping change, and simply forgetting about it. Additionally, there is a Coinstar machine where on occasion people exchange their change for cash, and forget to pick up the change that is rejected Below is an image of the coins that I have been able to obtain either by picking them up off of the floor, or through getting the change that people would forget at the Coinstar machine. Believe it or not, I was able to make these additions to my collection FOR FREE! As seen in the picture above in the top row there are three wheat back pennies (all of which were found on the ground), with the dates as follows: a 1946 p, 1955d, and a 1958 d. In the row below that there are two foreign coins that were actually found in the reject portion of a Coinstar machine. On the right is a copper nickel 1 franc from France that was minted in 1960 which was been cleaned in the past. To the right of that coin there is a Canadian quarter that commemorates the Olympics that was going to occur in Vancouver Canada in 2010; where ice hockey is commemorated in particular This particular. Lastly on the bottom row you see a silver Roosevelt dime from 1964 that was minted in Denver and is in AU condition. Believe it or not, the odds that you are going to find a rare, foreign, or unique coin in a Coinstar machine is relatively high in comparison to other methods such as coin roll hunting. This is because, Coinstar machines determine a coin’s face value primarily by its weight and composition, so they tend to reject most silver and Forign coins. Additionally, if coins are stuck together or damaged it simply will not register the coin during its first time around, and reject it. Please keep in mind that while the machine is being used there is a lot of noise present from the process, so it does not register with a lot of people that some of their coins are getting rejected. By using the “Coinstar method”, you are not taking advantage of people either, because you are not wasting anyone’s time, and even if people remember that they forget to get their change the odds that they will drive back to the machine is extreamly slim. In fact, the odds are so low I have never heard of anyone doing this! Furthermore, there have been numerous other occasions where I have actually found normal circulating coins which were rejected by Coinstar machines, which can easily be used to purchase coins such as the ones depicted above. In fact, along with the silver dime there was an additional 40 cents, and along with the two foreign coins there was 16 cents! There were two additional occasions where I have obtained forgotten change, where on one occasion I got 35 cents and another I obtained 55 cents! Additionally, ever sense September 10th I have put all of the coins that I have found on the ground into a separate jar just to see h ow much money I actually find on various floors, where to the date I have been able to obtain $7.68 (which is depicted above!)! This truly goes to show that every little bit adds up; as I could purchase 6 silver dimes with this amount of money!
Always keep in mind that you will never know what you will find until you check! I actually know people that have found silver half dollars and quarters in Coinstar machines; along with various other amazing coins! I really hope that you enjoyed this article, and please keep in tune for more! If you have had any cool Coinstar or floor coin finds please post it in the comments, or message them to me through Facebook via my page” Let’s Start A Coin Collection” as I would be more then happy to see them!
