Once Ivan started using my hints and calculating the number possibilities I thought I was in trouble.

I used all your hints and some mathmatics and some luck to get it down to being about 99.99% sure I guessed right.

I just didn't post any of it.

 

[CowboyKolo]

Congratulations all winners. Esp. Cheyenne for being spot on!
I might not have won, but what I did while waiting for the results
more than makes up for it!

Thank God! You could have wiped out my silver dollar stash. Do you count cards too?
You are THE MAN!!!!
Great job. That was a lot of fun.

Huh? I have yet to see a contest that was advertised to run to a certain date end prior to that date!

With Rachel's prom this weekend and having to make sure all our guest are accommodated, the decorations are set up (probably about 6 hrs) and then the tear down at 4 am...I was counting on having until Friday. Guess it doesn't matter as I already have some NC relics, silver and LCs.....

In all honesty my guess was going to be a simple 1944 x 20 = 38880.

Doug - My son's prom only cost me $130. My daughter's is in excess of $270. What gives?

yes I do card count **** how did you know? ---- probibilty mathmatics are a hobby of mine. --- with the wheat cent run from 1909 to 1958 (add them together and divide by two to get the mid range date)--- the adverage mid date range is --1933 1/2 by 20 coins -- 38,670 -- would be a adverage range * --- with higher dates being more commonly found normally than lower ones (due to numbers made) one would expect the total to be a bit higher than that. however with the (2) hints modern miner gave --- the math became easy indeed --- his 2nd hit gave a "range" of 38,180 to 38,700 * (note the mid range number is 38,670 * )--- the first hnit said that one of the first 11 picks was only --15 "off" --- running the 11 picks thru the "range filter" hint --only 4 of the 11 guesses "fit" --- so it was either 15 above or 15 below one of those 4 numbers --- so only 8 possibles. --- with the adverage range and older coins being more common -- I thought that 38,681 was a strong possiblity . but since it was taken I took 38,651 instead --- sorry for the scare there MM.---and thanks for the contest.-- Ivan

however I did not post my work about the numbers until after some one else put the 8 "possible" numbersonline --- since being nice I didn't want modern miner to get "pounded" by folks guessing only from those 8 numbers and breaking the "bank" -- I did PM him telling him the 8 number "spread" however and how I figgered it out.

There's always a whiner out there, and I guess this time it's you Bob. Sorry you missed it. I was wondering where you were.
The reason that Rachel's prom cost you more than Nate's is because Nate didn't have to get his hair and nails done, or buy a new dress.
Mike didn't go to the prom, but Sarah made sure SHE spent not only the $ for her prom, but also what was not spent at Mike's.
Kids! When are they going to get out of the house so I can have some peace & quiet?
Have a great weekend,
Doug

Thanks Ivan.
I had some more Peace dollars ready just in case.
Good luck next time. I will try to have another one later.
