The Die has been Created!!
I just received an email from the Mint saying the die had been created and sent a picture of it for us to see!!
@welshstacker created a beautiful design! Thanks to everyone who added input on the round!!
Here it is
We would like input to see what parts we keep shiny on the coin!
Also, we are in line at the mint for striking on June 4th!!
It may take a few days for this to get completed and then they will get shipped out to us. Once they arrive, we can process and ship the orders to everyone who placed an order!!
That is sooo squeaky shiny 😍 and beautiful
So shiny!! It came out awesome!
Looking great! The mint is getting really close now, and I'm really excited about it.
We are getting very close! It is extremely exciting!!!!
Yeah, it absolutely is! It feels like it has been forever since the first design competitions began, and now we're here; ready to go!
I know! Next year we will have a better plan of action so that people can prepare and save up for longer!!
That sounds smart! Did you run into a lot of people who wanted one, but who did not have enough Steem to buy it?
Definitely some. It was a combination of that plus people not having enough time to get their funds together/power down to get as many as they wanted. Additionally, some people suggested things just came too soon with it and that it wasn’t clear from the beginning with a timeline!
Ah, that makes sense. Organizing things like this is a huge challenge, so I'm sure it will be a bit easier to make it all smooth for each year you do it. I think you did a great job by the way! But I see the point that they might want a clearer timeline, especially if they want to buy many of them.
Very exciting news man, really looking forward to the rounds!
It is exciting!! Bill has been a pleasure to work with!
Came out beautiful. Well done, @welshstacker :)
Yeah it did!! I can’t wait until the mint strikes them!!!!
Looking very nice @sevinwilson. Excited to hear we may see these in the next 30 days or so.
Yes sir! Things are moving along!! Thanks for being there to ping ideas off through this entire process!
Woah! That looks damn sweet! It will look even better when I have one of those in my hand 😀
I think you’re right!! We aren’t too far from that happening!!
Sweet. That looks really great!
Yeah it is coming along nicely so far!
Oh wow!! That has come out sooo goooood!!! The shiny is great around the text border.
How about leave the shiny between the ground, and make the background of the roots and branches matte to give it a fuller look? To keep the shiny behind the branches makes the tree look a bit empty.. like an autumn tree losing leaves.
Either way, awesome job by everyone involved. Cant wait to see the final product in my hands!
Yeah I love the shiny around the border!! Let’s see what all we can do with the leaves/foliage as far as sanding it down some!
Wow, how sweet it is. In my opinion the shiny almost the way it is shown. But I'm only a layman, to be sure when it comes to that.
Yeah i do like it how it is currently as well! We will see what the mint suggests!
I can't believe how well that's turned out. I've only. Just seen this, so let me have a cup of coffee to wake up and I'll have a think about the final finish
Okay!! Your message through Discord had me laughing out loud
@sevinwilson it looks amazing and @welshstacker did such a fantastic job on the design!! Might be interesting to have the background fields and the rim with community stay shiny with the tree and roots being frosted. Just my opinion and thanks for the update! Excited that distribution may start so soon!!
That is a good idea with the frosting versus shiny! I will definitely ask the mint about this idea!
Oh man that would be so awesome and I would be so excited to have added a little something to this amazing design and idea!! Thanks again!!
Sweet. That looks really great.
Yeah I can’t wait until they get struck!!

I’m glad you got your order in just in time!!
Me too!
Its beautiful :)
Thank you Karen!! :)
Nice dude. #vertcoin-community MISSING OUT!!!

Haha yeah they did miss out!! Missed out big time!!
So pumped for this!
It is very beautiful to behold
This is beautiful done.....
As beautiful as its value haha
Where can I get one! Looks awesome keep up the good work!
Contact me on discord (sevinwilson#5606)
Love it!
Dude!! Same here!! It’s gorgeous!
I love it! It's awesome! Must have now!!
Seriously though! I’m getting antsy to get them shipped out to everyone!!
I wouldn't even know where to start as far as which parts to keep shiny. I'll defer to the experts for now. That's exciting that we have a date! They'll be coming soon!! :D So excited!
Yeah they are coming soon!! Once that June date gets closer a more defined shipping date will be available!
Wow, I couldn't have a better looking coin! It sounds like the process will move kind of quick. Man, I cannot wait!
Yeah only a few weeks away! I would imagine a month at most!
Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold
I must cancel my June 20, 3 wks holiday. Can't have the neighbours grab my coins!
I can hold them until you’re back if you want?
If possible great!
Possibly frost around the edge/rim (where the words going around the coin are) and keep everything else that is shiny on the inside.
Man, what I would give to have a reverse round. One that matches the look of the die exactly.... I like that weird kind of stuff.
Hey Sevin the guy who was suppose to hold some for me never got back to me, so would it be cool if I just purchased a few from you once they're minted!
How many are you thinking you want?!
I think 2-3 man! the shipping to canada for the 3 would be 10$ or 20$ I forgot!
Should be able to make that happen! Shipping will be about $10 to Canada!
Looks cracking hope I mange to get my hand on one or maybe even two 💯🐒
It’s so exciting to see this coming closer to reality. I can’t wait to get my order delivered so I can add them to my stack, hold them in my hands.
I know!! It is getting close! A little over a week away before they get struck!
Looking good bro, I would love to see a pic that was a little closer, its hard to make out the detail in the foliage from that distance.
If the background is going to be shiny, then so should the Steem symbol carved in the tree trunk. The big Steem symbol should contrast with whatever the trunk will be, and should be the same as the background. That is how I see it, although it may already be that way, I need a closer look. Def excited!
I will see if he can get me a closer shot of it! I do agree that the logo and the background should match!
Yezir, and no worries if you cannot get a close up. You know what it needs & you got this bro.
I will ask him on Monday to get a close up shot of the die!
