I know most of my #steemsilvergold buddies around here know that I run a small private mint with my buddy Eli. We got kinda popular around here when @sevinwilson allowed us to help with the retailing and distribution of the Steem silver round.

We specialize in retailing semi-numismatic silver bullion from small private mints and we also have a small line of our own products with some big plans for more. We also host some blogs and mint showcases so people that are interested in this type of silver bullion can read the stories behind some of the small mints HERE.

Well we're finally releasing our new round this Friday!

It's currently available for presales only for returning customers with COA numbers less than 100, but the official release is Friday!

This one above is the proof finish round. They are all 2 oz 0.999 Fine Silver. They come with individually numbered COA's and edge numbering on the proof and antique finish, the antique finish is below. It is a special chemical process that is applied to really make the details pop. These are just scans from the mint and we're excited to see them in person ourselves.

This round is an annual release with different artwork each year, and this is the second year.

Here's our explanation for the meaning behind the Succubus.

The succubus coin is much more than just a cool image of a pretty girl (although it certainly is). The succubus image has a much deeper and metaphorical meaning to us. It represents the struggle against any form of alluring temptation that may be wrapped in a seductive package but could ultimately lead to your demise.

In traditional folklore the succubus was a beautiful seductive demon who would seduce men, once these men were seduced their health would deteriorate and they would ultimately die. It's possible you could relate to a relationship of this nature where a partner was slowly drawing the life out of you, but on an even deeper level we feel the temptation and deteriorating effects can apply to so many aspects of one's life, not only relationships.

We also feel the succubus can serve as a constant reminder to understand the deeper meaning of anything and ensure we are not blinded by it's beauty or allure.

Lastly we also draw great strength knowing we have overcome challenges and temptations in our lives to breed character and form our personalities. This ultimately led us to our first release titled "Temptation of the Succubus"

Last but not least it's also available in a Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) Condition.
