    Has any one noticed that the Warbird emblem is upside down to the Silver Bullet Silver Shield emblem.

    I noticed. I wonder if they are all like that. Maybe it is symbolic. More likely they just have a tard running the machine.

    As far as I'm aware, it's following the American Silver Eagle design, as the eagle emblem is 'upside down' on those coins.
    It is a mock ASE, isn't it

    :)

    That's how all US legal tender is struck - has been since the 1800s (if not earlier). Just following that protocol.

    What does everyone think about the quality of the SBSS rounds? I have a couple and they were all pretty rough.

    yea, they do seem to have a habit of scratch and dents.
    it doesn't bother me so much thou, most of the ones i got are pretty good..
    they are just bullion rounds, and as far as what is being produced by other people at the moment, i'm loving the designs.

    i had a couple of beat up cannabis ones, and also some AG47's with marks, only one of them was bad enough to justify sending it back to the dealer, but they were happy enough to send a new one back :)

    Early SBSS medallions minted by Mulligan Mint. Warbird going forward minted by Golden State Mint. Mulligan Mint had quality issues.
