roli112 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I was just changing one of my mechs that Lacanteen sent me (by the way thank you, they just came in, were packaged perfectly but left me craving skittles now lol) and I found a 1927 silver nickel in my old mech... got me wondering, has anyone ever found any rare coins in their machines? I wouldn't have found it if I didn't have to replace my coin mech, it would have probably gone to someone as change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuikVend Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 In my bulk machines, I find silver quarters from time to time. Haven't found any in my snack or soda machines yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT Vending Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Most newer coin mech s will not accept silver coins. The 27 nickel is made of nickle they only made silver nickels in 42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartvendnw Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Too funny! I literately found this 1934 Buffalo nickel Denver mint today. Appears to worth $40-$75. How can you tell a nickel or quarter is silver or rare? I just happen to know about the buffalo nickel, but that's the extent of my coin knowledge. Ha ha.

roli112 Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 if you drop the coin you will know its silver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuikVend Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I know with quarters and dimes, if you look at the sides it will look completely silver,unlike normal quarters and dimes where you can see the different metals. Also, like roli112 said, once you drop a silver coin, you'll hear the difference immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winning123 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I find at least 1 silver quarter every month or two. Has this distinctive sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BT$ 40% Silver nickels were 1942-45 when nickel was in more demand for the war effort. The mint mark is above the Monticello dome on the reverse. They look a bit velvety to me. The dimes quarters halves and dollar coins were 90% silver prior to 1964 with the exception of 1965-70 Kennedy half dollars which were 40$ silver. Hope this helps.
