I'll take it to the bank tomorrow. It's never been raided for quarters. About 6 inches across. Could be $30-$60 in my estimation.
Closest guess gets a reply.
EDIT: It was $79.85
$45 in quarters, $18.60 in dimes, $8.10 in nickles, and $8.15 in pennies.
Damn it, monster!
This is exactly the comment I opened this thread to find. Thank you.
Pennies: Approximately 200, worth $2.00.
- Nickels: Approximately 50, worth $2.50.
- Dimes: Approximately 50, worth $5.00.
- Quarters: Approximately 30, worth $7.50.
Total estimation: Around $17.00.
$72.35
.mmm.. About tre fiddy..
Get back in your loch.
In a week, probably 10% less
The average of all the serious guesses in this thread.
This answer, but add $0.01
I'll give you three fiddy
(Gotta admit, ya asked for it!)
at least 1 cent

$24.26
$1 Bob!
I bid $2.
gives The Pantser the finger
Good luck getting the bank to count it for you. My bank would only accept bulk coins like this if they were counted out into separate coin bags - which they would give you. Then they can check by weight.
I remember this archaic shit. Now every bank in a larger town I visit in Europe has an automatic counter which is free for the bank's customers.
Yeah, it's been that way for decades. You just empty the jar/bag into the machine and it sorts/counts everything automatically, and then you can transfer the amount to your bank account.
When I was a kid I used to love this. We'd go sell stuff at flea markets and then take the bag of coins to the bank. Watch number go up, yay.
USA here, my ~~bank~~ credit union does this. Much better than taking it to the Coinstar at the grocery store which is actually the same machine but charges a fee to use.
Idk what an inch is or what those coins are worth
~23$
Precisely three large eggs.
Yeah, but face it 78 bucks really only buys about $5 of eggs, right?
$53.47, I'll wait for your reply.
At least 3, maybe 4
I think most guesses in this thread are a bit on the low side. I say $48.50.
Whatever someone is willing to pay for it.
It really depends on the ratio of pennies and nickles to quarters and dimes. I helped my father in law sort a jar of coins he had collected from his parking lot at work, I estimated like $150-200 but there were almost 50% quarters and dimes and it turned out to be nearly $1000.
Interestingly, quarters and dimes have about the same value per weight. As in a pound of quarters has the same dollar value as a pound of dimes. You could weigh the jar and get a min max estimate and know it's somewhere between if it was all quarters or all pennies
Microsoft Bing Search CoPilot says $15.06.
I'm guessing about $12. I think the people over $20 in this thread either never had a change bucket or saved mostly quarters.
probably $30-$60
a few dozen fake internet points.
My gallon jug gets round $500, if it has a good amount of silver vs copper. Give or take $20-$30.
I'm going with $27.63
I'm going with $50. I did some attempts at estimating the volume and assumed the average value of a coin in there is 5c
1 jar of coins
one dollar 50

Give you a tenner for it.

$31.77
$69.69
Worth is largely contextual no? eg, if you're offering it to a drowning man, that jar is worth less than nothing.
But hopefully that jar had good parents that built up its esteem, so that in any context it has the greatest gift of all: self-worth.
Wisdom of the crowd says it's $33,58
Edit: the crowd wasn't too wise
I'm saying $33.57.
I don't see a lot of quarters in there.
