Secondary contest: Without looking, how many guesses are there? No peeking!!!! lol. Winner wins bragging rights. (Only guesses pertaining to original giveaway count!)
The winner is @OKCC with a very close guess of 2440. PM sent! 2 others were very close as well(not figuring the overs).
Interesting how high so many guessed! Ya'll think I sell junk?
Wow, fantastic and a very nice unexpected surprise, Thank You. Hopefully this is a good omen, which I could really use. I also don't have a single Barber Half in my collection, so this will be an exciting addition. Much appreciated and keep up the great work!
Congrats to the winner! I was low by a count of 72. My methodology was to bring up your (roughly 600) eBay listings of Barber halves, sort by price, and find the median (300th) coin, which I believe was listed for $425. I simply divided that number into your total sales figure.
The couple of 5 figure AU's I sold skewed your equation!

Actually, that should have worked in my favor since you actually sold more coins than I guessed!

That is an interesting way of doing it. I instead looked at pages of his eBay listings. I chose five random pages, added up the total price for each page and found the average value, then averaged the five pages to come up with a figure. Took that figure and divided from the total sales figure to come up with a number which was close to 1776. Then I took into consideration some 1993 wholesale transactions and the lower coin prices from decades ago and gave it a WAG bump to a nice round 2,345. A little lower than your guess. Looks like your method proved better as you were closer and did not need a WAG correction to do so. However I would like to point out that I at least had all the numbers correct, I just had the 3 in the wrong place.
It was a fun contest. Congrats to OKCC! That is a nice half to add to a collection.
