Steem Silver Round Update: Shipping Dates Becoming More Concrete!
Steem Silver Round Update
This afternoon I spent a good while talking with the mint about the Steem Silver Round. I must have caught him at a good time because he spent nearly thirty minutes advising me on somethings from packaging to create labels.
Obverse Die Finalization
The first thing we discussed was the obverse side of the round and what if anything we would do with the die. We discussed a handful of scenarios and time after time we kept coming back to how it currently is. Bill said this round is almost going to look proof-like once it is struck. He absolutely loves the design! Well done @welshstacker and #SteemSilverGold!
Fabrication and Shipping Dates
The next item on our list that we discussed was "When are these rounds getting shipped to us?" Our date for the rounds to get struck is going to be June 4th-6th, which is as soon as this Monday coming up. Bill said after they get struck, the serial numbers will need to get engraved on the edges and then the rounds will need to get packaged up and sent to me. He anticipates the rounds getting shipped out to me on Friday, June 8th or Monday, June 11th. With 3 days for priority shipping, this should get us to the Thursday or Friday of that week as the most likely day to be receiving the rounds.
After that, the next step of the fun will begin! Then comes the packaging up of the rounds, which as long as they come by June 15th, will occur that weekend. The initial plan was to meet up with the "Stack Advisor" @raybrockman and package the rounds for everyone together. If that weekend works for him, we may have a date set. If that weekend does not work, I will enlisting my siblings, the children of @doctorvicki and @sevinwilsonsdad to help package up the rounds and get them taken to the post office. I imagine this is going to be a full day or two project.
Continuing on, if the rounds get packaged by June 17th, they will be delivered to the post office the following day. Those in the United States should be receiving their rounds during the week of June 18th - June 22nd, while international orders should start arriving the following week.
COA Assignment
Every round will come matched with a Certificate of Authenticity. I am still working on assigning the COA's to those who did not specifically order a COA. Some of you may receive sequential numbers, while others may receive completely random ones, but I have tried my best to keep it as fair as sequential as possible.
Oh this is so awesome to hear! I cant wait to finally see these things once they are minted! Your gonna hate me but I am gonna ask you to change my shipping address one more time because I should be into my new home by june 15th so if at all possible Id like them sent to me in NC instead of the WI address i gave you. If this is ok with you let me know and I will email u the new address. Thanks for all the help and sorry to be such a pain in the ass :/
No problem at all man! Just email me the new address! I’m glad you should be getting into your new home by the 15th!!!!
Thanks man, Im stoked too! We have been on the road for nearly 3 months home searching and that is entirely to long to be staying in hotels, especially with 2 big dogs. LoL
This is awesome!! I am so excited and can not wait to see my matching number Steem 2017 round and Steem 2018 rounds together!!!!
On to the serious matter of sending rounds over seas. I have done this only a handful of times, but I have always registered the items. This serves a few purposes. The first two are accountability and then security. Finally, it allows clear indication and the ability to tell the buyer where the item is. This helps during customs issues.
Registered mail seems like the way to go for the larger orders, but the smaller orders of only 1-2 rounds I’m not entirely sure about!
@sevinwilson I can understand that considering the amount of product that you are pushing out. Most of mine were single packages and happens sporadically. I honestly think the majority of small orders should be okay. Thanks again!
You just got splashed by @rewards-pool. For more information on delegating to the @rewards-pool click the following link.

@rewards-pool where a small delegation can get you a big splash.
Cannot wait for these to finally come in!
Dude I know!! You'll get yours first! Maybe I can enlist you to assist packaging if Ray is busy!
I'm down as long as I'm not working!
😀👍
Thanks for the resteem and all of your support!!
Getting closer every day! Proof-like? How cool is that! @ironshield
Yeah! I think he was just saying it is going to pop!!
Such a massive project. Thanks for all of your work behind the scenes and for all of the updates and for all of the packing yet to come!
It is a large project, but has been a great experience! There will be plenty of videos of the packing! Haha
Soooooooon XD fidgets in anticipation
Sounds like some good progress :)
I know, It is very exciting! We are getting closer!!!
Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold
Thanks for the update Sevin! It sounds like everything is moving along nicely and I cannot wait for these to land. Thanks for all the hard work!
You're welcome!! I need to purchase some packaging material and go to the USPS store and get some more envelopes and boxes and then we will be well on our way!
