So I decided to do another contest for my 3000 post mark.

Simple contest, guess what is in the jar without going over for this contest the rules will be a little different. This will be a disqualification contest(it might go for a while)


Contest rules.
You must have at least 50 posts.
You must live somewhere I can ship to from Canada as well so Russia and few other places may be out of the contest.

The first round will start as of this post and end June 25th.

You must guess within 4$ of the total amount and if you go over you will be disqualified from the next round(if no one wins the first round)

Each round that continues the possible amount will be narrowed down based on previous guesses.

If you are eliminated in the first round then you cannot continue in the next round... If in the case there is a tie I will start a new contest for the closest 10 to guess.

The prize will be a 1964 ICCS grade PL66 Canadian quarter that borders camo and IMO makes it look like a rain deer.


This will be a longer term contest if not won immediately as it will take me a while to roll all the change lol it won't be going into a coin star.

Images to follow. If I missed something I apologize and may add some rules... Been up 19 hours now so not gonna try and proof read

Here is the piggy bank(473ml beer can there for reference).

Ill give a couple hints to start. There is only quarters nickles and dimes in the bank, quarter and dime dominant if I had to guess. It will take me a while to roll and found it so no rush on guesses... Also as in doing this from a cell phone I wouldn't mind a hand in keeping track so if someone wants to give me a hand with the contest and keeping track of some things I'd appreciate it, if not it will just take a little longer for results.

Anyways take your guess.

Edit: new rule... If you are not involved in the first round then you cannot be in the second round.

Sounds like a fun contest. Can you please help with the volume of this "tall boy"? Half liter, 750ml?

I meant to add that:p 473 ml can

Also I'll add that most of the milk spots are actually on the case as with many of the slight imperfections. This is a nicer in hand and I actually Wana cut it out of the holder... But now I get to leave that up to the winner:) will be fun for me and hopefully everyone else as well, on top of that hope whoever gets it can appreciate it more then I have


Edit... It's filled up to just below the mouth

Assuming the coin slot is at the top of the 'jar/bank' (?), and that it will be full, I'll go with 117 dollars and 55 cents -- 117.55.

Sorry there was a misunderstanding , the can was for size reference.

this is the bank full of change up to about the mouth. No toonies or loonies.(my son is still adding change to it randomly) so maybe just assume it's full by the time I count it.

Not for nothing ,but you should have started this guessing game when the bank is full and no more coins were added to it .
So far at least 3 members have a disadvantage by already guessing the amount .

Piggy bank is set aside now (still around eye level. No more change will be added and at eye level this thing was basically full. The amount won't change from now in but the contest will re start as of now. The people who have given a guess So far are aloud to change there guess for the next 48hours.. your guess is as good as mine. I won't give any more clues etc, it's a simple contest
... Throw out a guess about what you think is in the sloth, I will count and roll it over the next week or so and if no one comes within 4$ the ones who guessed over will be eliminated and won't be able to participate in round 2 if it happens.

This contest is supposed to be completely Randome, maybe my son is 6ft tall.... Lol no more description will be given.... Based on photos provided as of now make a guess.. remember there is no toonies or loonies.

4 guesses so far. On a side note if more then one person guesses within 4$ who ever is closed and not over wins and if this does go to round 2 the rules will change a little.

I've never seen a "Sloth Machine" before. Do his eyes open really slowly when he pays off?

I tried to work in the phrase "Three-Toed Bandit," but I started getting a really bad feeling that I was pushing it.
