 The correct answer is 8846. Points to everyone whose answer ended with 6, double points for those ending with 46. (And that's why I went for "post your guess in reverse order", as some of you rightly surmised.) The two closest entries are jason39305 with 8646 (under by 200), and triggersmob also wins the wheat cents with 8946 (over by 100). Congrats to both, my PMs should be open for the winners to arrange delivery of your prizes!

Thanks for the contest Alpha and reaching your 2000 posts, and congrats to Jason. I'll see if I can find someone with a U.S. address to send the wheaties too, and be in touch. Cheers

Ok thanks to trigg I'm the one that got the wheats and the 3 coins. I just got them today (had to go to the US to get them) Have not had a chance to go through them yet but will let you know what I got. The # silver coins are now on there way to trigg. With Alpha's permission I'm posting a pic of how the coins arrived and not Alpha fault he did pack them OK.  When I opened the box I had coins falling out, saved them all but just shows you what the postal service does with your mail. Thanks Alpha2814

I used a USPS small priority mail box. It was large enough to hold everything (with room for bubble wrap) but it was heavy and I should have reinforced the sides more strongly. At least the silver coins arrived safely.
