    Thanks for the opportunity. I'll guess $223.75.

    That's my guess! I guessed that exact amount early on day one...even to the 75 cents!! Great minds think alike!!!!!

    Oops, I guess I didn't see that... I'll change my guess!

    Please see the pics below. I’m in the process of counting one of my SLQ bags. Please look these pics over and take a wild guess at the TOTAL FACE VALUE.

    RULES: Contest ends Sunday (4/16) at 6pm PST. The person closest to the correct total will receive six of these quarters. I’ll even pick through them and get you full dated coins. Have at it!

    PS Love this forum…I’ve learned a lot from you pros over the years. Thanks everyone.

    Yes, I have several bags. I tend to accumulate 90% in the older series…Barbers, SLQs, Mercs. The fun stuff. 🤣

    Guess I better start counting this bag. Good luck everyone. 🍀

    Well, my strategy was to scan some of the other guesses by those presumably more knowledgeable than myself, and see where they congregated around. And then pick an open number within that range. Thanks

    I mentioned to @OKCC in a PM that he was actually right on the money. I rolled all the quarters later today (recounting as I went) and I realized I was actually off by 1. So the face value in the bag was actually $231.00, not $230.75. Crazy!

    Thanks again for all you participated. Lots of you were so very close!

    I liked my guess. Amazing that I was off by over 200 quarters. I am not a good guesser.
