Anyone want to start designing and producing GSUS Silver rounds? Just throwing it out there.

Your current avatar would sum it up pretty well.

Joking...but in all seriousness, I don't think we have enough history yet to design a meaningful round.

how about a Walking Liberty, but with larger breasts, for the guys, and another version, with something for the ladies ?

my impression the stamping dies are about $10K.

makes me wonder who paid for the GIM stamping dies.

I think it's a lot less than 10k to have a stamp designed and made. Yearly, a local mint auctions the service (plus some coins) for charity and it goes for less than a couple thousand. Of course, you can buy a vasectomy for four hundred dollars and orthodontic braces for 3k at these auctions :oo--> Hmm, maybe regular price is about 10k.

I took the liberty of asking Daniel Carr at the Moonlight Mint how much it would cost for a custom die and this was his response:


I've done several such medals for various coin clubs.
A single finished die can range anywhere from $300 to $3,000.
It all depends on the size and mainly on the level of difficulty and
detail in the sculpting. Most are around $1,000. Simple text-only
dies are closer to $300. This is for a ready-to-use die
(design, sculpting, engraving, heat-treating, sandblasting, polishing).

Rimmed & burnished 1-oz 999 silver blanks, ready for striking
proof-like medals, cost about $1 each above the silver "spot" price.

Once dies are ready, pieces can be struck for about $1-$3 each,
depending on size, quantity, and surface finish.

So here's our options: if we want a simple text only die, we're looking at "close to $300" for the finished piece. Text is boring though, so if we wanted a picture or graphic, depending on complexity we're looking at between $1000-3000.

Then add the premium to the silver rounds, looks like $4 over spot for each one. Seems reasonable to me.

I have a handful of silver rounds that are text only, and I like them for their novelty factor. I would enjoy having a GSUS silver round, even if it is text only. I'd put $50 towards the cost of the die.

I'll sticky this thread for a while to see what the general consensus is. If we don't have enough demand to make it worth while, we'll postpone it for now and take a look at it in the future.

PERFECT!
I would also add: "Say NO to NWO!" or "Resist, illuminati(Renuo il illuminati)." <<(along bottom rim)

or something like that, and of course the pyramid with all seeing eye on the same facade(side) and the other side either lady liberty walking or bust profile and text "wwgsusdo" beside her(instead of ingod wetrust))and year mintage + www.gold-silver.us along bottom.

So.. umm...yeah hopefully at one point members become more interested in a silver round, now I like the combination of what I previously posted + WWGSUSDO?+ what Ragnarok posted, decisions ::)

I would buy some GSus rounds, but I don't know how many....

With the POS they way it is going, I could maybe commit to 10.

Well I could do a design if I knew how it would work. I can't afford to have it privately minted and would need to see examples. Part of my business is doing realistic 3D art so....um yeah.

I'd rather do something very subtle and have a lot of hidden anti-Illuminati symbolism. Maybe bagels in an oven. I just don't get the process. Does it have to be an outline or what?

Here's an example with a classic cartoon image. I can do it with anything really.

Ha ha, that is well done! All I know is a basic round with simply text is cheap, once you start adding graphics and designs, it gets more expensive...

Just buy AEs. They are the most liquid of coins.
