Well, I'm ready to risk guess #2, and try 7144 and father's name as David. Before I try my last guess, Bone, may I ask your full name and birth order, please? It's not near as important, but your father's birth order might also be of interest. (A list of your uncle's names would probably be downright cheating! Though you could really mess with our mind, I guess by listing maternal uncles without telling us so.)
Dad was the 3rd son of three My Uncles names in order are Bennett Blake IV (He never was a father) my next uncle was John Strode Blake (he too never fathered) although both were married a few times, LOL. Then my DAD who had two boys, I'm first Bennett Blake V, named after my uncle, and my little brother Norman. We also had a sister who died an infant. Bone
Nope, but a couple have gotten pretty close to the number. BTW, the prize will be a couple of Ancient Roman Bronze coins Have Fun Bone
I guess...#1 9700 I'm no good at these things... umm...ah, what the hell, guess #2 3000 Guess #3... 30,000
Ok...So I'll take all 3 of my guesses now 1,546 pennies, named David 3,216 pennies, named Daniel 6,483 pennies, named Joseph
Whoo Boy! What a treasure-chest of family psychology! Dad's dad named Ben, big brothers named Ben & John, then named his own kids Ben and Norman. I'm going to suggest Simon (and pull my hair out if it turns out to be Peter, but this was my third guess, so I'm out of choices). And for a number, I'll go this time with 5613 pennies. ~Owen
AJM- I see you did you research as well I second his notion of 7777 pennies, and then go on to say your fathers name was either Joseph, Herbert or Alfred.
7,653 pennies in the Jar. and your fathers name is Theodore, but people call him Chester... I don't know why.
