Hi all,
It's been a while since we had a contest. Figured it was my turn to sponsor.
Winner of this contest will receive the one ounce silver round pictured below. I'll send it, postage paid, to any US address. Sorry, everyone outside the US. Please feel free to engage in the contest for bragging rights.
Material:
71.70g of the material pictured below. The only information I have is that it came from a dentist, accumulated through the course of their work, brought to a jeweler, who agreed to purchase the gold therin after having it refined by me. Nobody involved provided any estimate on the gold content.
Contest rules and schedule:
- Guess the total amount of gold contained in the starting material.
- Make one guess, by posting publicly here in this thread, between now and Friday, 6/4/2021 at 8:00pm US Central Time.
- After the above time I will post a picture of the refined gold from this material which includes a visual size reference.
- Make one more guess, by posting publicly here in this thread, between the time of posting of the second picture and Friday 6/11/2021 at 8:00pm US Central Time.
- Each person's two guesses, valid according to the conditions above, will be averaged together, the second guess being weighted at two times the first.
- The closest such averaged, US-located guess to the actual fine gold content of the material, above or below, is the winner.
- Winner must supply a valid mailing address to me. PM is fine, and it will not be shared.
- Questions may be asked here in this thread. I may or may not answer, at my discretion. Most likely I will not provide more information as the contest has been designed intentionally as is.
Congratulations to the future winner! And thanks GRF!
