Silver of the Day #11: 2018 Steem Silver Round

After a long wait, the 2018 Steem Silver Rounds have shipped out and are now arriving!

I got mine late today and was so excited to get into the package that I didn't even get a picture of the packaging for an unboxing post. So this is a display post instead.

Although it's not my birthday, I have made it difficult for people to get me presents for my birthday, so when certain parties found out that I had something I really wanted, they went to the effort of making that dream come true. Now you get to see pictures of that dream.

I got two of the 2018 Steem Silver Rounds. Here's the front and back of them as displayed with their certificates of authenticity.

I like that they have the serial number stamped into the side of the round. These are the first rounds I've gotten that are numbered. I also like that they come with a COA. They're the first rounds/bars/coins I have that came with a certificate of authenticity.

Ladies and gentlemen, these rounds are exquisite. The gorgeous design from Hive account@welshstacker is enough to make you buy the round on its own, but the proof-like finish really makes the design pop.

If you didn't get a chance to purchase one in the pre-sale, I recommend looking for one on the secondary market. They're sweet! (Note: Not invesmtent advice.)

Thank you to Hive account@sevinwilson for making this happen and to Hive account@raybrockman who kept things going! I appreciate you both.
