Hey guys, I want to give everyone and update on the progress of the steem silver rounds. They are sold out(and have been for 2 days, sorry I didn't make a big announcement earlier). I am still chasing down a few stragglers to collect a few payments, so please contact me if that is you. Also if I don't find these guys soon, there may be a few extra available and I'll let everyone know. (I hope that's not extortion...lol).

Looks like things are on schedule for us to have the rounds in 2 weeks.

The mint doesn't want to commit to a for sure timeline, but they hope to start stamping by the end of next week, but can't commit 100% yet. After that it's usually a few days for the shipping to arrive here, but we should have actual first strike images of the rounds in 1 week. I will definitely update everyone as we know more exact timelines.

Here are the completed dies

Reverse

Obverse

After Heat Treatment

We have also completed the COA's and will be sending them to the printers on Monday

I'm so excited to see the first strike images and finally get these rounds in hand and shipped out to everyone. It has been such a fun and exciting project and so appreciative of all the support and involvement from so many great community members.

I know I posted the following list before but a few people deserve special mentions again.

Thank to @sevinwilson for coming up with the great idea and putting it out there to the community. We really appreciate he saw the value in having a small business ran by a fellow steemian take part is this project and immediately reached out to us. He also hosted the design contest, designed the obverse and helped to collect preorders before we were ready to accept USD and Bitcoin.

Thanks to @bearone for your amazing winning design and also to @rocksg, @silverstackeruk, and @sevinwilson for also submitting some really great designs.

Thanks to @thedamus, our #steemsilvergold bitcoin/cryptocurrency guru, who was so supportive and spent a lot of time helping to guide me through the process to accept bitcoin.

Thanks to @buggedout and @silverstackeruk for reaching out to us to help with international group buys.

Once again thanks for everyone else who saw the value in this project and rounds and bought them all up so darn fast, we certainly did not expect that. Of course if anyone is interested we would love to consider this project again in 2018, and also love bringing anyone else's silver projects too life.
