OK, here's the rundown of the guesses:
I decided to send out a silver George to whoever guessed closest to the correct number of 40's wheats without going over. Hey, that guess should be rewarded, too! I'll be opening the jar a little later on this morning. Stay tuned.
Well, I couldn't wait to clean them before counting them, so out they came for the count before going into the tumbler. There were 305 wheats in the jar, and it looks like D-Dub edged out Twistidd by one to get closest to the total!
Congrats Dan!!!
Let me know how you want me to get the coin to you - either in person or by mail.
Thanks to everyone who entered! If you're really bored, you can watch the coins being counted. I'll leave the video up for a few days.

Now they'll get tumbled, sorted, and the 40's coins will be counted for the consolation prize...
That will be later on today.
OK, I have clean wheats, and the number of 1940's wheats is...119.
Congrats, Tommyboy72!!! Your guess of 118 was almost right on the money!!!!
Joe, man were you close on this one, too.
Tommyboy72, PM me with an address & I'll get the silver George off to you in the mail.

Just kidding bro. Actually (ironically) you're the reason why I was close (just not close enough)...You did a lot of research and used strategy when you correctly identified the age of bob's Barber half. So, with that in mind, I figured instead of just taking a guess, I'd use math to guess. Going by the perceived size of the wheatie jar, and the precise size of a wheatie, I calculated the density of the jar and kinda rounded off a bit. Considering my math level is that of a 6th grader, I didn't do too bad. Anyway, congratulations Dan, I'll get you next time brother-man. Oh, just wait. You'll get yours. 
JK!
