I'm not to sure how much is there but you really sld go threw at least the quarters and dimes. Anything older than 1965 is 90 percent silver and much more valuable than face value...like 1.50 a dime and quarter around 4.50. Also may have some rarer coins worth money. I'd definitely pull the silver tho as its going to go way up over the next 5 or so years.

1965 and 1966 for Canadian dimes and quarters too. Not as much silver but worth more than face value.

I have a silver 1968 Canadian quarter.
Quoted from KozMckPinball:I have a silver 1968 Canadian quarter
There were some silver 1968 Canadian coins which were 50% silver compared to 80% for 1967 and prior. Most 1968 coins were nickel.
Quoted from cosmokramer:Gross weight 101lbs
Tare weight 2 lbs
Net weight of coins 99lbs
Sticking with my ~$700.00 estimate. I already know how heavy $300+ dollars in coins weighed.
And are you going to post how much of each denomination there is?
Quoted from cosmokramer:Verbal communication with the bank confirms that the coin machine is indeed operational today...
Quoted from girloveswaffles:And are you going to post how much of each denomination there is?
Total # of coins 11,893
$1 - 3
.50- 1
.25- 3,602
.10- 2,201
.05- 1,348
.01- 4,738
Oh damn, I was only off by $62.15. You had a little higher quarter ratio than I expected.
For reference, if that 99-pound bag had been ALL quarters, it would have been worth just shy of $2,000. It looked like it was almost but not quite half quarters... so the ratio of dimes (lightweight!) vs pennies (heavier but worthless!) and Nickels (like a quarter but also worthless!) was the real wildcard.
Fun diversion, thanks!
Quoted from ElectroMagnetic:Is it your best guess without going over?
....and give them 10%? Think I’ll just let my pile of change continue to grow.
Nope. Self checkout machines accept coins. I buy stuff and pay cash in all coins. No fees.
The 89 rejected coins were put through a few times...only 17 were ultimately not accepted totaling $2.16
Thanks for participating

That is an abnormally high ratio of quarters!
Quoted from cosmokramer:This took about 4 years to accumulate, my wife and I both tossing in loose change at the end of the day.
I will post the weight on friday night and then post the final tally on Saturday.
The bank has a counting machine (I just need to call ahead and make sure it is working) and dont charge a percentage if you have an account there.
Avg of .86 cents per day added over the 4 years.
That was fun. I was only $128.25 off.
I remember years back I had two Growlers full of coins and I cashed them in to go to the casino for my buddy's bachelor party, it got me over $900...
Your picture looked somewhat similar in size..
Quoted from DanQverymuch:Has a winner been declared? (Not me, I didn't even guess.)
I was hoping someone else would do the heavy lifting and declare themselves winner, but since that didn't happen I will look back and declare a winner when I have some time...
Quoted from jawjaw:What are you going to do with the money?
Our cruise booking guy called with a last minute deal one a 7 day cruise that we couldnt pass up...the Missus and I are heading to Cabo again...

Quoted from pinballkim:$1234.57
This is the closest guess, but was placed after weight was posted...
Eric had the closest guess before weight was posted (1,234.56), then his guess was poached by 1 cent, Price is Right style...
