Here are four quick bullet points as we end the second quarter of the year: #1 There is a new coin creator in Germany called
Satoshi-Silver. They issued eight coins that are rounds, but there is a twist. Every coin bought also receives
the hash confirming that 1000 sats were sent to the Genesis wallet. The idea is that the txid identifies the coin purchase. Satoshi said lost coins were donations to the network...
The coins for sale are named after Shrimp up to Humpback Whales. I wrote to the company to ask about their mintages and they replied, "Our aim is not to create artificial scarcity
or hype — you know, the usual “FOMO” tactics. Instead, we want to enrich the Bitcoin community with a high-quality and honest product." So, in other words, the mintages are unlimited.
This is somewhat ironic for the obvious reason that it promotes digital scarcity. regardless, the finishes on the coins are new, including mixes of White Platinum, Black Ruthenium,
Black Rhodium & Black Platinum among others.
Here is a link to their site:
https://satoshi-silver.com/shop/ and we wish them success.

A Tip for grading DIY Coins - I sent in a couple coins early on when I started collecting a physical bitcoins. The DIY coins kind of pose a problem. I now had a slabbed coin
and a hologram outside of the slab that was not viewable with the coin. Easy tip, put the hologram on the coin. Yes I am a dummy for not doing this early on. I just missed it.
Here are some coins MJ auctioned off recently
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5540080.msg65332749#msg65332749. You get them graded, slabbed and the
hologram is displayed in all its glory.

I've been drop shipped. I look at auctions in Japan from time to time. Also, I sell coins in different places to pay for my habit. Anyway, I was surprised to see
a Nasty Fans 1g silver coin I had for sale being sold in Japan. The seller used the same picture with my word for word description. I had it up for $70 on Ebay. The price tag in Japan? $575. Kudos
to a superior seller.
#4 You can grab this in Japan for 129,800 JPY right now:
That's $935. Whoh.
