Talk about a friggen soap opera! Saga! I still think the whole story behind the first 4 SBSS coins is great. I will keep collecting the series. I went back and watched the whole series of Silver Bullet Silver Shield over the weekend, and whatever you think of the guy he certainly put a lot of time and energy producing them. Great info and history.
Not sure I would have put it that way lol, we certainly wont sell more as we capped the mintage. We dont want 30,000 - 60,000 of them getting around! The SBSS skull coin, WAS the biggest seller we had in such a short amount of time. Sales figures smashed everything we had done to date. That was until we allowed a handful of members to start locking in and seeing some of the drawings of our first round. Now sales figures for our own round has smashed the skull coin to pieces by double, and it hasn't been released yet! Certainly wont be everyone's cup of tea, but is there for those who DO like it. The distributors certainly like it, thank god (wipe the sweat off forehead).
If you ask me i would say SGB 1st design better than any of the SBSS designs Im sure most people will agree once all get to see it. Great work Iceblue and Co!!
The drawings have only been seen by a handful of people, even less have seen the proofed artwork. When is probably a better question. Next week sometime is the answer. I dont think they are any better than sbss designs, art is individual in nature, different people like different things. Some will love it, some will hate it, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Personally I think the freedom girl artwork is stunning. Simple but beautiful.
here's another take on the SBSS fiasco, I lean towards believing most of this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5AJdHaoUUE As I suspected the mint isn't dumb enough to use dies they do not own.
The name is clearly an intentional play on words Freedom girl on 1 side = free Slave queen on the other = reign
I was considering buying one, as I have some of each so far, once the numbers hit 10,000 for the free copper, since the Ebidiots will pay more for that than an oz of silver is worth, but a $29.99 minting premium? Sorry, back to SAEs and generics for me.
my concern would be i put my money on the table and nothing gets delivered because rob grey gets an injunction put on him etc there is just too many variables of things that could go wrong to even bother with this
Totally staying away. By the way, who is the largest refinery in the world they are talking about? Johnson Matthey?
Just read they are buying shot from Republic Metals. So if that's the biggest refiner in the world they are trying to brag about it's a pure lie as they are no where near the size of JM.
I figured I'd dig up this post rather than start a new one, since the information above it all still helpful. So they have a new release: https://www.silverbulletsilvershield.com/ag47-silver-medallion.html And they just announced "Cannabis". While I could care less for the Cannabis, I think the AG47 coins would sell like crazy on Ebay. But check the numbers. They've sold almost 1300 of them... My big concern is that I would never see my bullion (tho I wonder if I paid with a credit card if I'd have more recourse) but now seeing this un-interest, I think that would make these even more collectible, especially since I think it also means the chances of actually getting them is dropping... Very very torn. Unfortunately, I think that means stay away. Has anyone taken the plunge with them recently?
Aren't Maggie is getting these coins from them? Considering Maggie's stable and honest operation I would hate her to wear the loses.
I have, Duane will continue the series with another mint and these will be worth good money a few months from now.
