STEEM SILVER ROUND UPDATE!

in #steemit5 years ago

Well it seems like the process is not as quick as the Mint lead me to believe. The good thing is some solid progress was made this week.

2019 Steem Silver Round

We ended up selling 777 rounds, looks like a good number to end on. Now of course it would have been a lot easier to sale the 1500 but reaching half of the goal isn't very bad at all with all things considering.

The Die is complete.

The detail is what took the time. As you can see the Die is almost an exact match to the original design. This in itself is a very difficult thing for the Mint to accomplish, so I am glad they took their time on the DIE.

The 2 most important steps are left.

  1. Minting. Which we all have been patiently waiting for. This process will take right at 7 to 10 days (including Polishing)

  2. Numbering. Now this will take a little extra time then normal. All round numbering over 500 will have to be done by hand. The mint will produce 1500 rounds, they will then take out 777 rounds and melt what is left over. Then they will number 1 through 500 and the remaining 277 will be number matched to the numbers that customers have choosen.

Whats next?

Any number requested over 500 will still be created. The mint is willing to do this for $1.00 extra for every round numberes out of sequence. This is a fair price in my opinion and will diffently make it easy for members to get the same number over 500 as they did last year.

There will be some discussion on how to pay the extra $1.00 per round in the coming days. It will probably end up being accepted in steem. Just for the reason there will be no fee's associated with paying in steem.

Every order that was placed with a requested number over 500 will recieve an email or a DM from myself explaing the $1.00 extra charge.

Thanks for your time amd patience with this project!

Here great update Ray but i see a problem with the die. ALL THE WORDING is backwards my friend. Epic fail!

And does this mean that not requested mintage numbers of over 500 are un-numbered?

It is backwards because when it is stamped it will read correctly, if it read correctly on the die it would be backwards on the coin

Thanks so much for the update @raybrockman, looks to be a very high quality Steem Silver round!!
Looking forward to adding to my stack!!!
Cheers!😀

Official website is closed since order is already finalized. I have ordered around 170 2019 rounds. I will also have over 70 2017-2019 three round sets with Coa's. Let me know if you're interested.

I am interested too, if there is not too great of a markup. Lets talk!

No big mark up. Might sound crazy, but I want to get them into the hands of those who missed ordering on the website.

Hi @spicyer - I am definitely interested. What you are doing is awesome, I am interested in the 2017 as well as the current one when it comes out. Will give you a shout around then, if that sounds good? Additionally, please forgive my late reply. Have a great day 👍

Yea I am interested in 2019 rounds cuz I have the 2017 and 2018 rounds already
