Timeline:
This weekend, I'd like to get finalized vectors of the designs. We're fussing over the corn lasers. The final motto will be 'mind your / business'. The only thing that looks like it may change is the corn silk. It is an important part occupying negative space of the rounds, but something making it look more natural is desired.
Next week, I hope to get the designs approved by the mint. This starts the process of creating 'dies', or the stamps used to mark blank rounds.
Once the designs are approved, I will commit to the order by buying the dies (approximately $1000 together) and 500 ounces of silver.
The sale will start at this point. If Chris is interested, I will advertise it on Chris's social media in exchange for some silver based off sales from that traffic. If sales exceed 500 rounds, I will buy more silver.
The full process of stamping these rounds will take 6 to 8 weeks.
After they are stamped, they will be shipped from Asia. I am debating how to do final deliveries. I am thinking the best chance I have is to drop ship it to Australia, the EU, and the US. An individual will fulfill orders.
I will keep any struck rounds that aren't sold.
