2018 Steem Silver Rounds: Pre-Order Spots are Running Out!!

If you didn't know, there is a physical Steemit silver "coin" that is community designed through a Steemit art contest every year. 2018 is only the second year Steem Silver Rounds will be produced. This year's art design contest winner is Hive account@welshstacker. Here is his winning design that will be stamped on the Obverse of the 2018 Steem Silver Round.

The Steemit symbol being carved in the tree was my suggestion originally. It received strong, unopposed support from the community, so the edit was approved!! I am glad it was.

There are rounds of voting for the design contest, where each round, at least one design with the lowest number of votes is eliminated. After several rounds, the last surviving design wins. The inaugural 2017 Steem Silver Round Design Contest was won by Hive account@bearone. She was also the runner-up in the 2018 contest. Here is her winning design that is on the obverse of the original 2017 Steem Silver Round.

The 2017 Steem Silver Round is HIGHLY collectible, and that is not an exaggeration. Last years rounds sold out before the pre-sale ended, and this year's pre-sale is on pace to do the same. There was a limited minting of only 1500 of the 2017 rounds, while due to their increasing popularity, 2018 will see 2500 rounds to ensure new interested parties can have a fair chance at getting them early. As soon as the 2017 rounds hit the secondary market, they doubled and in some cases tripled in price. We can expect to see a similar occurrence with the 2018 rounds, that are currently still available for pre-sale.

The Original Steem Silver Round (2017)

Pre-orders for 2018 are available for $23.50 per round plus shipping (currently about 6.2 STEEM). You can pay with either PayPal (fiat) or a number of different cryptocurrencies.

Accepted cryptos include Steem, Bitcoin, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, Vertcoin, SmartCash, and Dash. Please convert your SBD to STEEM to purchase. SBD is not accepted.

If you are on Steemit and you are reading this, I highly recommend ordering some of these during the pre-sale if you haven't already. It is a GREAT investment, and a beautiful physical silver artifact from an intangible imagined world. I have personally already ordered 25 rounds, and am considering ordering more with some STEEM I have earned.

At one point, there was what I now call the "Dreamcoin" version of the design for the 2018 round. This version was a little too detailed for the mint that is currently handling production to fabricate a proper stamp for. So ultimately and unfortunately, this version of the design had to be scrapped. I still feel the final design turned out well, I just think we all wish this version was possible to produce. Hence the name, "Dreamcoin".
