I was going through some old blogs, looking for inspiration by going ovee some of my favourite posts. When i came across my entry to the 2019 #steemsilverround competition.
I saw @dfinney relea similar, nostalgic post the other week, and it got me thinking...... Is there a need or a longing for the next coin in the silver round set?
They say great minds think alike, so when dfinney and myself came up wirh similar ideas, I knew others felt like taking these coins in a similar direction as me. The old post of mine can be found HERE
I can only speak for myself, but my design was drawn from the inspiration of the elements - Earth, Fire,Water and Wind.
SOURCE
Even back in 2018, my winning design was designed with this in mind and my "communi-tree" design was inspired by Earth. I was hoping that the 2019 winning design would have been a phoenix inspired image, so that we could have ticked the earth and fire off the list.
The winning design was by @edxservrus and luckily for my grand idea, it falls in to the water category:
EARTH ✔️
WATER ✔️
Could we start it all off again with a new FIRE design??
So now i hear you all shouting - What about @bearone 's amazing 2017 design? The one that kicked it all off?? Well i see this as the OG coin.... one coin to rule them all, so to speak!! Hear me out, lots of successful coin sets/series have a "completer" coin and this for me would fit perfectly in with this 5 coin set.
I see a solid, hardwood box, with brass hinges and swing top lid. Inside youd have a plush lined velvet inner with a 5 coin holder insert, with room for the CoA. Possibly made by @silverd510??
So can anyone else see this idea, or is it just me?

It’s just you. 😂😂🤣
I was just
shitposting about metals to get a sweet precious gem! 😂Also will the wind coin just be a puckered bum dropping a fart?
Awwww thanks welshy! I wish I fully understood what I was kicking off when I submitted my design, though Im not sure it would have made any difference to my design.
I think if we were to do another round, everything considered, it would need to be hand poured? Dont know why I keep thinking it would be most cost effective to do it this way?
I think @silverd510 should mint a minimum of 800 coins. Hopefully by fall so I can give one to my secret silver Santa
😃👍
Are they done yet?
I’ve had designs for rounds that I’d like to get made for years now. The pricing for it is through the roof unless you do 5,000 pieces or more. With silver at $25 an ounce we’d be looking at $45-$50 per round. I was going to do a limited mintage of 500 or 1,000. The prices for those were beyond reasonable. I spoke to small mints and bigger mints not one of them were in what I consider a ballpark price.
The other thing is I doubt we could sell enough of them.
I think it would be awesome but hand poured may be more accessible, making round is way more expensive

I'd love to see it, but even the final STEEM coin struggled to get enough demand for the mintage needed.
Gotta have a dream though. Maybe one day...
