IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

numismatic student, it seems that you give more to the CCF through your posts than we return to you. But if you've convinced yourself that you need to have a contest with prize, don't let me stop you!

Happy Thanksgiving. Pictured below is a jar where I kept my change. Its size is indicated by the 12oz can next to it. A few months ago, I rolled the change and deposited it at my bank. There were only quarters, nickels, dimes and cents and I don't know how many of each I had, but I have a record of my deposit. The winner of this contest will be the person who comes closest to the amount of change I rolled and deposited from this jar this year. The jar was 90% full when I rolled the coins.  Contest ends: Monday December 11, 2023 at noon. All entries due on this thread by this deadline. The winner: Will come closest to the amount I deposited regardless of whether the entry is above or below the actual amount. The prize: Two AU or better pre-1921 Morgan dollars to be pictured shortly. Added clarification: One guess per username, 50 posts to enter.
