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.

    Total estimation: Around $17.00.

    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.

    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.
