When the Steem Silver Round was released and available for order, I didn't know about it.

Missing out

I only read about it afterwards when all orders were already placed. No biggie, I had just joined steemit some months earlier and was still finding my bearings. I figured, even though I really wanted it, I might be able to get it later.

Missing out again

But then, some time after, there was a post by someone who had ordered a batch and was re-selling some of them. But I read that post just before I winked out for the day. It was already way past midnight and I had to work and my eyelids were already drooped way down to my anckles. So I figured I'd order one the next day.

But you can guess what happened. In those couple hours of sleep, the re-sell was already filled and none were left for me to get . Such Sad, Much bad luck.

At long last

Then, for some reason, the subject came up last week when I was talking to my friend Hive account@jonny-clearwater.
He was just about to shoot a Hots or Shots episode with Hive account@sevinwilson, one of the originators of the Steem Silver Round.

After, he told me Sevin still had some extra's and was willing to part with one. So after some back and forth on Discord, the coin was sent my way and after some detouring (my brothers coin, which was sent a day later arrived 3 days earlier then mine) the coin arrived in my mail box. I am over the moon !

I have #245, which is a nice number.

Just look at this beauty !

I'm very happy to finally own one of the 2017 rounds (the first batch ever). I think it's a beauty.
Hive account@sevinwilson, Hive account@phelimint, Hive account@ejr and their Hive account@steemsilverround account are already working hard on the 2018 Silver Round, with the design almost being locked in.

Thank you Hive account@sevinwilson for willing to part with it (and creating it in the first place).
Thank you Hive account@jonny-clearwater for asking after the coin for me which set things in motion.
