The New 2018 South Korea Silver Tiger!!!
Golden greetings and silver salutations! I saw a video by You-Tuber @losinglouie today about a new round. It is the 2018 South Korea Silver Tiger and is minted by Korea's KOMSCO mint. These are the same folks that made the Chiwoo Cheonwang and the Zi: Sin Gallus rounds.
I do not know if I can call them coins. Those two rounds have a monetary designation of "1 Clay"... but what is a clay?!? Korea uses the Won and I have seen other folks say that is not a real monetary unit. I searched on line and could not find what a clay is. If it is a currency, let me know. These tiger rounds do not have any unit of monetary denomination to them.
Ok, lets see them. Note that these coins are not out yet, so these photos are courtesy of the Gainsville Coins website (links are below each photo):
I really like the Zi:Sin Gallus round and I can't wait to see what one of these look like in person. They are priced ok, $22.67 a coin, but here is the HUGE detraction, the release date! If you buy one, it will be ready to ship...wait for it...April 13th! A 2 month wait! These have almost the same mintage as the Zi:Sin Gallus and that one is still available months later. If I had to guess, I would say there is no hurry to order this one, but if you think I am wrong let me know why.
So my final thoughts...I am a fan and plan on ordering a couple. I am going to take my time in doing so and I hope I don't get burned.
On a side note, I recently wrote about some You-Tubers similar to Louie. They are ones that try Steemit, but struggle to gain traction. Take a look a few of them in my post here. Also, check out Louie's You-Tube. I hope we can bring folks like Louie back to Steemit!
@mikeshuh I Like the look of this Silver Tiger but I don't think I will be buying any of them as this time...................
I think you'll have a few months to decide if you want one. I'm definitely not rushing.
Very nice. I think they will be a bigger hit than the panda.
Fairly nice looking piece of silver there, but I am completely in love with the Sin Gallus! Hoping the final rendering of this round will be almost as detailed as the two previous rounds.
The Sin Gallus is great. I'm surprised it's still available anywhere by now. I'm hoping the Tiger as good as it too.
Really cool coin! And great shout out for a great YouTube channel
Louie's a great YouTuber. If you look at his Steem history. He posted a few times then just stopped.
WOW that is a super cool coin
It looks like it will be!
As Louie said, Korea is HOT right now 👍🏼
As for me... I am a buyer.
I'll be a buyer too...but I'm going to wait a bit.
I received the email about this today!! They are beautiful coins! In a way you are locking in the price of silver in case it does go up! Two months is longer than it took for the Steem coin to be produced and shipped I think! haha
I think if I order this today, I could still have a 2018 SSG round first.
You seriously might be right.. the 3d design will take some time though!!
That is some of the nicest art I have seen on a coin ever, probably second only to a few dragons I spotted on some silver a while back.
