I have many of these. For the silver shield mini mintage fans.

@Silvergirl555 , are they all the same COA, 555/1111? This is my favourite series, all 18 collected over a long time. They look absolutely stunning together and I recommend them wholeheartedly.

WOW

lol. sorry about the duplicate picture. Not sure why the computer did that. My fat fingers maybe. and to Cat's mother. no I just have the one 555 which is special & I have it listed a bit higher.

It's also worth mentioning that Chris Duane (the person behind Silver Shield) keeps the first 100 of any rounds issued, so the ones available are lessened accordingly. Goodness knows what he's going to do with them all, but the Silver Shield Guide lists 483 rounds issued so far, in various series. That's a lot of silver!

for sure!

I really wish he would do more minimintage BU rounds like he used to do. Keeps the cost way down and closer to spot. I lose my but on some of the proofs or have to hang on to them for too long.

Dare I say that I am aiming by the end of this year I will have a production line ( of sorts ) with something that will be like a mini mint. LOL

I just need to work hard this year and get enough capital together for this project.

that's cool

With the equipment I have and my 2 sons as helpers, I plan to do a lot more pouring and arty farty stuff to list for sale. And If I can get to a profit state, ( LOL ) than I will be able to invest in a mint making my designs I have worked hard on for the past year plus..

i have a coin series I want to bring out and put it in limited numbers. 2000 of each. So it is a lot of money to have the dies and the silver produced. I have a 5 coin set on one of my designs. And I have a 6 coin set on another. It is just about money sadly. And with that it is a lot to roll out. Then dealers can buy them and put them for sale. I wont mention the Mint yet.... but it is a well respected brand!

I would keep the first 10 for myself !!!! Yes that way I get 0001 -0010 to myself.
Who knows this could lead to something great. But at the moment I am just a simple artist doing my thing.
