I have to give this a try, I love the idea of Steembay and I know a few people are still looking for these rounds.
This auction will be round the round with COA number 1412.
Here are a couple better photos the beauty
This is a 1 ounce fine silver round with a limited mintage of 1500.
The idea came from @sevinwilson and he hosted a community contest to to create the design. The winning design was by @bearone and here is the details on what it means from her;
For me Steemit is all about Community. Whether it's the Steemit community as a whole or the many groups/communities that are forming within Steemit, or what Steemit can do for the World Wide community - When I think of Steemit I think of Community in all those terms and more.
I wanted to represent "community" with the fish swimming together and community written in Latin, French, English and Tagalog (Filipino).
In this design you can see the growth progression from Minnow to Dolphin to Whale. I also like how the small fish are swimming with the big fish. It's a bit more of an accurate representation of the Steemit Eco-System.
I heard sea/marine life references in Steemit will eventually disappear, I'm not sure if that is true, but I felt if it was (or even if it wasn't), it's important to mark this moment in our Steemit history where we refer to ourselves as Minnows, Dolphins and Whales.
These are of course long sold out and very popular on the secondary market. Currently fetching a price around $60 USD.
SteemBay Details
Steembay launched early today, so I looks like this is about the 5th auction, and the second coin/silver auction (@jbcoin beat me by a few minutes in his POST HERE.)
Anyways the detail post about how it all works is HERE
For the most part bidders just bid by typing bid #, # would of course be replaced by your bid.
Bid amounts are all in SBD.
Bidding with start at 25SBD.
Shipping will be and additional 10SBD flat rate worldwide.
The auction will end when the post pays out in 7 days, but I will also end it early once there has been no bids in 48hrs.
I think this is an exciting time for steem/steemit and the more we can use the currency for transactions the more we will see it grow
Of course if your interested in silver or gold be sure to check out #steemsilvergold I image we will also seeing lots of auctions pouring out of there!.
