What else is he going to do with them?

I'd offer face value, I would pick them up.


Or offer 10% over face, he delivers.

Agree with the others. The offer should be close to face.

I'm saying face also. I doubt there is much in terms of a find in the bottle. Most likely just common change.

If you really want to be fair offer him face and if there are any funds you split the value 50/50

Face value plus 5% and he gets to keep the bottle.

Face plus 5% sounds fair to me.

I have heard of these glass water bottles breaking when picked up and full of coins. I have not seen it happen but that is a lot of weight. Chances are the seller just wants cash instead of the jar of coin.
I would only agree on $475 and hope you can get it home.
Use padding and a deep base hand cart. It wouldn't surprise me if it didn't shatter when tipped to the edge to get the carts plate under it.
So try to slide the bottle over the plate rather than tip it on edge to get the plate under.
Tricky situation!

You might need a forklift to load it in your truck or car .
Face sounds about right ,but how are you guys supposed to determine that ?

from change received (not searched),

And if you believe that, I'd like to offer you a chance to purchase shares of stock on the Empire State building.
I'd just ask him to take them all to a bank himself.
I really dislike those NON SEARCHED coins.

Not everybody is searching their pocket change. I know I don't . Better things to do then look for the very rare 1955 double die.
