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.

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

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

The jar looks like it's made a glass, which is common and probably worth only a few dollars.

Jars of coins, however, are much more rare, and could be worth a lot more. It's kind of hard to make jars of coins. Maybe if you melt them together. Sounds like craftsman work.

If you have a picture of your jar of coins -- maybe this was an upload of the wrong jar? your glass one? -- please post it so we can assess the worth. Thanks.

I bid $2.

[–] BigMikeInAustin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Microsoft Bing Search CoPilot says $15.06.

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

I'm guessing about $12. I think the people over $20 in this thread either never had a change bucket or saved mostly quarters.
