Very cool experiment closest guesser I will mail a silver dime! please give a guess!

[SilverForBrains]

Hi all, It's been documented that the masses are often right in a way that no individual can be. For example, this was tested out by having an entire town guess the weight of a cow. No individual got the weight correct, but the average of the 1600 townpeople's guesses was nearly exactly the weight of the cow. I want to try this with CRH's forecasting the value of silver. What do you think the price of silver will be in exactly 1 month? So we are talking March 28th, at 1:25PM. I will take the average of all answers and compare them to individual answers. Whoever is the closest I will mail a silver dime of my choosing, on my honor. However, the trick is you must also beat the average! If I'm right and this works, I get to keep my dime. IF I'm wrong and an individual beats the average, I will mail it immediately. Guess to the nearest cent, if you say something like $17, I will assume you mean 17.00

By the way, all answers must be received within one week to count!

And a couple of questions...
If more than one person is correct who gets the dime? My guess would be the person who posted first but you need to clarify that.

Also, if the average wins, but someone also chose what the average turns out to be as their actual guess, who wins? More plainly stated, who wins in the case of a tie?
