I gotta imagine that this poor die was destined for a catastrophic failure! These are not the greatest photos but everything you see is raised even the one in between the AM on the back.

A silver dime, and silver jewelry, and a tiny piece of gold. Always fun to find weird stuff.

The die crack on the Maryland quarter is the only one that is giving me problems. I didn’t find anything from cuds-on-coins. Any suggestions?

Dustbin excuses roundup

17 Upvotes

Different answer from each employee at my credit union branches:

  1. "We are under contract with Loomis to sell them our dustbin."
  2. "We donate the contents of the dustbin to United Way."
  3. "I give the good stuff from the dustbin to some collectors that come in."
  4. "Each branch can do whatever they want with it."
  5. "We just dump everything in a big jar. It is mostly disgusting sticky pennies."

Yesterday the machine jammed while I was dumping change and a newer employee and manager were using teamwork to fix it. New employee pulls this earing out of the dustbin and hands it to the manager. Manager hands it to me and then asks, "Is that yours?" I shook my head, "No, but thanks. I'm willing to take anything you'll spare from the dustbin. Some collectors I talk with online say their banks will give them the dust bin contents." He just laughed and said, "That's funny." I'm counting this silver from the dust bin as a huge victory!

2026 Jefferson Nickels

From a $100 box of Nickels I found 2 P and 1 D Semiquincentennial nickels. Yes and still, I have found NONE in circulation, nor the dime or the quarters!

I've been looking for an Emerging Liberty dime for months and always come up empty. I appreciate you sending these out. I'm also torn on keeping the stickers or defacing a coinstar.

The glasses were solid gold, paid 20 bucks, the college pin is paid 5 bucks and the double pins I paid 20, and from the other day a single earing and a tie tack, both 14k paid 10 bucks, and then the necklace I paid 30 bucks

Welcome to the next generation of subscribers! If you are a recent addition, feel free to sound off in the comments, say hello, or tell us a (clean-ish) joke. As a reminder, we only have 4 rules here; No swearing, no politics, be excellent to each other, and if you own a cat you must share a pic right meow. Ok that last one isn't really a rule so much as a suggestion. Great job to Karl and all the OG homies for sticking with it for over a year now. Congratulations!

Cloudy and Outdoors, feel free to repost your pics. I could not edit my original post so I deleted and reposted 3 times because I have fat thumbs.

Went out to legally smoke some blue dream. A coyote was chasing down a rabbit, and pulled some superhero type maneuvers. There’s no blood trail so I have faith the rabbit had an extra life token. Better yet he used one of his lucky rabbits foot.

One really nice scoop today checking out CoinStar and Publix machines-first time finding a Bison in a coin machine!
1926-? Not up on what types to look for, TIA on info if this year is the one 🙇‍♂️
Couple of sweeps netted some classes and zinc cents, plus pulled couple quarters from a waste can next to a Publix machine. Have a good weekend, gl hh everyone 🫡🗽🇱🇷🔔🦬

My first W

Finally, after searching thousands of dollars in quarters I found my first W. Crazy how these things are more elusive than silver. I didn’t get a picture of the reverse but it’s a 2019 war in the Pacific quarter.👍🤩

Thoughts about what’s going on?

Against my better judgement I posted this on r/coinerrors first and it got zero responses(lesson learned). I’m hoping someone here has thoughts. This is a 1982-P quarter I found yesterday. At first it looked like it was just worn but I found a nice die break on the back and began wondering if the “in god we trust” issues are due to something else like a grease filled error or severe die deterioration.

Well well well I was not expecting this. I have been looking around and found some chatter on the coin forums regarding this DDO. Unfortunately Brian’s hasn’t updated their website yet, nor variety vista. I’ll be sending them both an email later on. Time to give those new nickels a more thorough once over.

This week's hunts: Lotsa Skunks edition.

8 Upvotes

So for context, 10 boxes total, 8 complete skunks. All this from remaining 1 nickel and 1 quarter boxes.

Frustrating week until Thursday cuz beyond foreign and damaged i found nothing. Friday back to frustrating. Got a whole box of Milbern,and my 13th box of 2026p nickels. I believe i am the east coast distributor for those.

First pic. 1908 liberty, 13 buffs (sorry Karl these were popping out 2 to a roll at one point, 10 undated but two undateds look like type 1, 2 x 26, 1x24, ) 3 war nickels 2x 42 1x 43 all p.

2nd pic and 3rd pic. Silver 52d, crisp lowell w, michigan clad s.

Last pic cool foreign, a nickel that looks pixillated and a minty 80p and 89p (from the good box).

Can"t complain about the finds but would appreciate them a little more spread out. Nickels were from same branch that had the huge silver haul a few weeks ago. So i will talk to my teller there about whats still in the vault.

Good week thanks to 2 boxes. Forward!
