My sincere thanks, too, Rex, for hosting this exciting contest! It was an absolute thrill to (almost constantly) watch the spot price of that glimmering gold bounch around like it did, hoping it would end up in close proximity to my wild guess, by your deadline. I kind of figured it would drop a bit when I made my prediction on Monday, the 4th, and then climb back up to around my figure after the elections. But, not so! It took a deeper dive than I predicted, and then rose back up to around that same doggone 'niner figure it was on Monday when I posted my guess. Well, I was close, anyhow.
...But, unfortunately, no cigar.

If there is ever a another fun contest like this one, you can bet the farm, that I'll win next time.
Very Happy

Thanks, Rex. Very Happy

Treasure Master,

It did jump around quite a bit, not an easy task to guess the right price, more difficult than I intended, but I guess it was good that it wasn't too easy of a challenge.

Congrats Magician and mrfrogdude,

Magician,
I will let you know that even though the rough stone is only specimen quality, a five carat stone from that mine is fairly rare.

mrfrogdude,
Glad you won, especially if it has been awhile for you when it comes to winning a contest.

Thanks also to everyone who participated, sorry for the late entry disqualifications.

Rex
