paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12041 Posts	Posted 12/11/2023 1:01 pm Congrats on 10k I set limits assuming the entire jar was filled with only one denomination, to start with, and calculated an approximate jar volume of 23.5 fl. oz. Full of only dimes and using an approximation of the volume of a single dime, I get an upper limit of around $189.00 Full of only quarters and using an approximation of the volume of a single quarter, based on an approximate jar size relative to the nearby coke can, and converting from liquid volume in fl.oz. to solid volume in oz (1.04 conversion factor) with 90% full, or about $144.00 estimated. The lower limit was set assuming the entire jar was filled with cents at approximately 900 cents to 24 fl oz, or $9.00 estimated. Since this is clearly not the case per your OP, my wild guess is that it must be less than the upper limit I calculated and greater than the lower limit, or between $9.00 and $189.00 The overall decline of cents in circulation leads to more wild speculation on my part that nickels and dimes will be represented in greater quantity than the number of quarters or cents. My completely random guess is $78.03 Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D.

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 10873 Posts	Posted 12/11/2023 5:33 pm I have determined a winner but please check my work and let me know if I've made any error. So many were so close. Many, many good guesses. My deposit according to my bank statement is: The winner made his entry 2 hours after the contest opened, when I first posed the contest question and led almost wire-to-wire. I watched and waited for someone to knock him out, but it never happened. He held up for almost 3 weeks. Congratulations to our winner: Spence Please send the address where you would like your prize sent.
