    @shish your guess of 317 has already been summited by another member a little ways up from the bottom of page 1, so your welcome to select another number!

    I think I can do this without harming the integrity of the giveaway.
    Sometime yesterday there was a submission so close that I noted it as being the lower tie breaker if necessary, there was another one I had to look at it a couple of times, it had all the right components, just not the correct order. So, this is pretty exciting on my side of the giveaway.

    I thought when I put this up that it might get MAYBE as much interest as its gotten, BUT!!! I figured it to take two or three days longer to do so and that was just being hopeful at best. I'm pleasantly surprised B)

    Well, its seems the moderators moved this thread to a much less traffic area on the forum??
    Maybe each of you can help share a link to this thread with other forum members who might have missed the chance of seeing it on Sunday and overnight Sunday.
    I'd really like to see a correct number guess come in, man some guesses have been very VERY close, I mean the jar don't have any Half Cents in it, yea! you all are that darn close ;)

    I think I figured it out with what you said there. I won’t say anything. Will just wait and see if it turns out to be correct.

    Well I was trying to avoid giving actual clues in that post LoL! there was a LOT of guesses that came in during yesterday's period of time, the tie breaker is within a LARGE range of guesses. But, I have figured out that you people here are extremely gifted at figuring these things out without out any extra input (somehow) which is a good thing!
    Now, I did say that there is a guess that came in yesterday that basically is within one penny of the correct answer, and would make the tie breaker rule IF necessary.
    Keep It Going!

    :D Nope!, No Golf Balls, just pennies, now that jar is pretty old so its not thin lightweight glass, but no fillers or artificial flavors, has been added, All natural the way Mother Nature Intended o:)
    I've been tossing Wheat pennies in that jar sense I started metal detecting in 1981, especially early on.

    If there is an AG3 09 svdb in there... does it count for about 10000 regular dirty old buckwheats?

    Well, if there was, yes it would for sure! Sadly, there isn't one, BUT! not because I didn't try. The 09SVDB was a bucket list coin for me sense around 1965 give or take a few days :D Back in the early 80's I worked evening shift, and MANY nights after work I would stop and metal detect for several hours before I went home, not ONE unearthed Wheat Cent came out of the ground without the thoughts of "This Is The One" but I never found one! Those hopes, and those silver coins is what kept me searching, and every Mercury dime was hoped to be a 16-D, another that never turned up :'(
