    The total ended up being 309 wheat cents in the jar. x115 who was the second to post an answer was the nearest with a guess of 310. Thank you to all who were involved and for making this a fun forum.

    The wheats got sent off today. I hope it isn't purely 40's and 50's. I had around $60 in face of them, filled that jar and sold the rest. And again thank to to everyone making this an enjoyable forum. I've learned a lot, bought, sold, and traded on here. It's just a nice place.
