Guessing Game ... with a twist.

Mark, a fella who is probably still in shakes about what his grandpa left him, started a thread titled : RECENTLY ACQUIRED COIN COLLECTION .
I am happy to see a thread of this nature as it makes for great conversation and it's very cordial for the most part. It's also gracious of the guy to read some of the comments in it and not run outta here like so many before him.
Now for a little fun.
When the thread started my hope was the guy would take a liking to coins since his grandfather obviously had a passion for them. Eventually, teasing the thread along, I guessed it would hit 500 .
It looks like it will go well over that for January. At midnight on the 31st of January all guesses will be checked against the Official Counter
One guess per person please.
Saintguru is giving away a 1920 S Gold Saint to the winner, but let me check with him first to make sure that's alright
If not, I'll dig somethin out of a blue box.
Entries close at 5 P.M. on the 31st

There is definitely some milkin going on which is fine.
He has a helluva collection and it really is fun watching it unfold in front of us.

Hey TwoSides. I think you could keep it going. Just add another twist. Did anyone get the count of the original thread before it went poof?
I suggest we continue the game. Just add this thread count to the original and keep 'er going until the 31st or until it goes poof too. Linky
