It's very exciting to see the secondary market booming for these rounds! The word is really spreading and there is so much more interest in these from the initial release, I think more then we ever imagined or predicted. We'll for sure have to expand the mintage for next year without flooding the market. We would also be interested it any other silver projects people may have in mind.

There's been a few sales and give away so I'll try to compile a little update for everyone still looking for one.

Contest

There is one giveaway here by @coolbowser. There is still 6 days and all you need to do is upvote, resteem and comment.

I think this is the only contest right now, but if there are more please let me know and I'll update this.

Give Aways

There's been a few exciting give-aways I've seen so far around steemit.

First would be this post HERE when @goldmatters gave one away to @ned, the founder and CEO or steemit. This is still pretty damn exciting for me too see.

The second awesome giveaway post I seen is HERE from early today when @papa-pepper gave away 10 rounds to some pretty influential and important members of the community that have helped him along the way to become the super star he is. He has big plans to continue to give away more and you know he's a contest machine so I'd suggest following him closely.

Sales

For those that are looking to buy one there are a few sale posts to check out, from what I can follow the secondary market price seems to be currently around $60, but others suggest the price will soon match that of bitcoin (although I think they are joking/crazy)

The first is from @raybrockman HERE who was very quick to the draw and has sold quite a bit but he did start his prices very low around $40-50/SBD but I think his price is now around $60 at this point. He's also sitting on some nice low COA numbers.

The second sale post I have seen is from the creator himself @sevinwilson and can be found HERE. He also has some really great COA numbers in the 200s and even including 222, which I am one the fence about trying to get. I would love to amass a few premium numbers or even low COA numbers for my own collection, so those who have repeating numbers or willing to part with there low COA number, feel free to reach out to me and name your price!

I have also seen comments from @coolbowser and @spicyer who I believe have mentioned their intentions to sell some of their rounds and they are both sitting on a few (although not the most as spicyer though). With that said I also know that a few more people are sitting on some large quantities of rounds and will also likely hold sales and contests but I'm not going to mention anything. (Minter's confidentially oath, you know....lol)

Our Extras

We currently have about 20-40 rounds in our possession due to some late order cancellations and confusion we had over some of the orders. We are going to continue to hold them for a few weeks till we know everyone has received theirs without any issues and none are lost or damaged. We are not sure about what the best way is too distribute them, or potentially just buy them all ourselves. We feel conflicted about selling them at secondary market prices since it just doesn't feel right. We are also reluctant to sell them at release price since we don't want to kill the secondary market for investors, but if we do we will definitely have a limit of 1-2/customer. I do like @papa-peppers idea about giving some away to a couple people that have really influenced my time here on steemit. We are also considering some contest ideas to distribute a few more as well. Otherwise we would welcome any feedback about what everyone thinks is most fair for everyone.

Thanks again for all this excitement surrounding this round! Continue to spread the word and determine interest so we can determine the appropriate mintage for next year and we will actually start planning the project around late November
