To thank the Coin Community Family for your support, encouragement, and patience, I'm offering a modest giveaway in observance of my upcoming 500th post

As of April 3, 2024, how many medals are in my exonumia collection ?
Includes: MACO, U.S. Mint bronze and silver medals, and miscellaneous medals.

Must have 50 quality posts to participate.
One guess per day allowed. If a guess hits the nail on the head, contest ends.

500 is my first guess.

@cap, from your description of the contest, it sounds like you are keeping this contest open until someone guesses the exact number. Please consider having an actual end date instead, where whoever is closest will win (your choice on whether to adopt price is right rules about not going over). Otherwise, you may find the need to provide hints or never complete the contest. Thx.

Never mind! I see in the title that the end date is the 3rd of May.
