A psychology graduate student could write a dissertation on "denial" and "epistemic closure" re: the guy who paid thousands of $$$ and "will not open" the jar.
Which reminds me: "what's in the box?!!"

I'm tempted to break my whole collection out of their slabs, throw them into one of these jars along with all my junk silver, and see if I can get 400% higher than market value.

SEALED and UNSEARCHED Jar of Coin from the MICHIGAN-AMERICAN NUMISMATIC ESTATE BANK MUSEUM MINT HOARDNewly up for bid and for your consideration is an original sealed and unsearched jar of coin!Let me tell you all about this opportunity I am giving you - to all my loyal customers. Listing this is my present to society as a thank you for all the support. Someone can really score B-I-G on this item. This item is a completely sealed and unsearched jar of coin. Normally, I would open any jar of coins to see what is inside, but this jar will not open. The suspense is killing me, but I don't want to break it because this jar is probably really old and valuable. Look at the jar! It is even sealed with a cork - they haven't done that in 100 years. The sealed jar has kept the contents absolutely pristine. So, what is in the jar? That is a really good question. It does appear to be a mint and absolutely pristine penny. Some pennies are literally worth a fortune. Could this be one of the famed 1909-S VDB pennies? It is possible! A 1909-S VDP penny would be worth many thousands in this condition. The lucky winner will be the one to find out. Your gain is my loss! If only it was possible to read the date in the photos!! Bid with confidence starting with a low bid of $5000! Other jars of coins have recently sold for much more than this, and the coins in those were not shiny and new looking!  This coin jar was found with other stuff by a child of a very needy family in my neighborhood. I decided that all the stuff together is called the MICHIGAN-AMERICAN NUMISMATIC ESTATE BANK MUSEUM MINT HOARD. The photographs show some of the other parts of the hoard that were found. After the kids dug up the hoard in their sandbox, all I did was gently wash everything. I mean, look at the photos! This jar of coin is surrounded by literally tens of thousands of dollars of coins and big bills. Imagine what could be in this jar and imagine YOU being the one to discover it and knowing that it was part of this soon-to-be-famous discovery. All the other things you can see in the photo are from 1928 and before, and include gold certificates and even Carson City and Dahlonega gold coins! So, everything is old! Just imagine the coin SEALED and UNSEARCHED in the jar!  The kids that found the hoard asked me if I could sell the hoard for them so that they could buy a toy. Just imagine how you can feel good about yourself for helping a needy family by bidding on this sealed and unsearched jar of coin with a possible ultra-high value 1909-S VDB penny worth thousands of dollars!  Please note that this auction is only for the SEALED and UNSEARCHED jar of coin - other stuff is not included:)

Hello All, My above post was in no way a 'real' advertisement. It was entirely a parody on the coin jars that we have been discussing, complete with a made-up story. I was taking the idea to the extreme with only one coin in a completely clear jar, so of course I can see what the coin is - it is just not visible in the pictures, which is exactly what the case is with the ebay advertisements. The coin, by the way, is a 1970. My grandmother gave me this coin in a jar when I was a kid. Apologies for the confusion. |

Just look at the coins and notes surrounding the jar! This guy must know what he's talking about.

Navin R. Johnson: The most exciting game on the midway! Imagine the thrill of getting your weight guessed by a professional! You can blow up your cheeks, you can stick out your chest, but you're not going to fool the guesser. How 'bout you, sir? Step right up!
Carnival Rube: Hey honey, let's see how good this guy is. Now what do I win?
Navin R. Johnson: Ah, anything... in this general area, right in here. Anything, below the stereo, and on this side of the Bicentennial glasses. Anything between the ashtray, and the thimbles. Anything in this three inches. Right in here, this area, that includes the Chiclets, but not the erasers.
