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 @jonny-clearwater.
He was just about to shoot a Hots or Shots episode with @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 !
The Front
The Back
The Side
I'm very happy to finally own one of the 2017 rounds (the first batch ever). I think it's a beauty.
@sevinwilson, @phelimint, @ejr and their @steemsilverround account are already working hard on the 2018 Silver Round, with the design almost being locked in.
Thank you @sevinwilson for willing to part with it (and creating it in the first place).
Thank you @jonny-clearwater for asking after the coin for me which set things in motion.

I was starting to get nervous the coin would not arrive. It got detoured to South Carolina for some odd reason.
I’m so glad you were able to get one!!
P.S. your pictures are incredible of the coin!!
Yeah I was slightly nervous as well, but then all of a sudden, the tracking status jumped from Transit (on US soil) to Cleared Customs (on Dutch soil) so then I knew everything was going to be ok.
I’m really happy with it. Thanks again.
I don’t know why it happened like that! The guy who entered it was a rookie. I think it was his first time sending an international piece
How much is such a coin + how much would shipping cost to Germany?
I think shipping was right at $15 to Germany. I’ve sent a coin there already! I still have a few left if you want one. Contact me on discord (sevinwilson#5606) or Steemit.chat (sevinwilson). They are $60 each and I accept Steem, SBD, BTC, ETH, LTC, and PayPal.
Cool thx! I'll think about it.
You’re welcome! :D
:D
Definetly looking awesome! I would buy one to add to my toyphotography
Yes! It is a great piece and there were only 1500 minted of the 2017 version!
See this post I believe shipping to the Netherlands was €15
WOohoo! That's so awesome. I want one too.
You totally should, it’s awesome.

Happy I have #246 which is also a fine number. Now we have to wait for the 2018 version. And I guess we do have to thank @jonny-clearwater in the first place for setting thing in motion as you said.
We will have a post soon about how you can acquire the same numbered round in the 2018 version!
Congratulations :) Your hardwork paid this to you :)
That's great eqko.enjoy your success and be happy☺
