I would think that the final 2 posts to get you to 4000 should not be that hard....

Well, I'm a little torn on what to guess. Safest would be to avoid being one of the two guesses on either edge. However, that isn't where my calculations take me:
$14.77 in the vase. That will be my guess for this final round.

Edited: decided not to share my calculations after all.

Well, Well - It looks like everybody is present and have gotten their guesses in.

Since the guesses were in an over/under who can get the closest - I can say that there was no tie

Here is the current list:
keith12 $12.00
Spence $14.77
NumismaticsFTW $14.80
chipjones $15.00
nickelsearcher $15.13
SpeedDemonND $15.14
hokiefan_82 $15.36
Zurie $15.55
mrwhatisit $18.32

Time for me to get the math done identify the 3 finalists (winners)
