RE: Steem Silver Coin Design - Steemsilverround
This is super cool man, I love the look of the reverse proof with the frosted background. I'm not sure if the mint is currently set up for anything like this, but I also know they love testing out new ideas and giving things a try. I would image it would need to be struck twice and likely with two different dies with a round in the tumbler in between. It would certainly raise the price of the round but would certainly be a premium piece.
Thanks ! I must admit I didn't take the minting technique and limitations into consideration for this design as I don't really know what they are. But when designing something new it's always a learning curve and that is awesome. Looking forward to see what they have to say about the design.
Further more I would like to say that this competition is an awesome initiative as I think that silver and gold still go hand in hand with crypto - it's the same goal, keeping your own money in your own hands and control.
Fuck yeah!
What about a 1/3 ounce inner with the cut-out, encased in the 2/3 oz outer ring? Like the bi-metal polar bears, except both silver? I guess it would be a crazy challenge to mint it, in either case. Laser cut all the planchets first?
Thats an interesting idea! They have checked it now and unfortunately the middle cant be cut out straight through, and has to be closed. I think it will still look cool.
The competition is now open for voting if you want to check it out here is the link: https://steemit.com/steemsilverround/@phelimint/voting-is-now-live-for-the-2018-steem-silver-round-design
