I guess I kinda got a big update to announce.
I received the silver blanks a few days ago and I was pleasantly surprised that they where all ready rimmed and look better than I thought they would, I will post a photo of them in the OP.
The stamper was delayed heavily, should have only taken about a week to come to me, but I just received the tracking number for it and I should have it by friday SO on friday I will posting pictures of one finished set (without the engraving) and I expect these to be shipping the 24th the latest.
My time table right now is this:
Receive stamper on February 9th, have coins stamped and ready to be sent to engraver on the 15th. Receive coins back from engraver on the 22nd.

Sounds cool! Update us with some pictures once you have it. Are you planning on making a test portotype at first, or you are just going to mint them all at once? Either ways, the Dies look neat, and I hope the design and the stamping machine is quality enough.

Also will your die have ".999 silver" It will not, I have been using pieces of an old tshirt, but I do not think that the guy at the machine shop is gonna wear cotton gloves but I can certainly request it lol I guess I kinda got a big update to announce.

Either ways, the Dies look neat, and I hope the design and the stamping machine is quality enough. Its going to be stamped with a 60 ton hydraulic press, which to my understanding presses it in, when it reality it should be quickly struck to leave the design. But I am hoping since silver is malleable, that I made my design thick enough and that it will come out looking good

If you are not going to worry about the finish..Consider artificially toning them.. they could be dipped in a chemical that will darken them and give different colors of blues or reds...Just in idea

I would like to see .999 silver stamped on it if possible. Is there a reason that wouldn't be doable?

Because I all ready ordered the stamper. I could get it in engraved but that would add a cost of $6 to each set...

In my eyes it's a large oversight and I'd expect people to question why the pure silver item isn't marked as such. If anything you could purchase one of the $10 stamps from etsy/ebay and hammer it in yourself.

Show me where I can get a $10 stamper that says .999 silver on it ;p I guess I could, that is a really good idea better than getting it engraved... The only one I can find is https://www.etsy.com/listing/250063316/round-custom-design-or-logo-jewelryand this guy literally as the worst customer service on the entire planet.

My username isnt appealing, I do not see why anyone would want it on a coin series 5 or 6? what are you doing for series 2-4? I would probably get a silver coin if you stamped your username on it the right way with all the proper items pre mentioned adn the price was right. Doubt id wait 5 more series though lol

I would probably get a silver coin if you stamped your username on it the right way with all the proper items pre mentioned adn the price was right. Doubt id wait 5 more series though lol Well series 2 will be a half ounce coin, series 3 will be a 1/4 ounce coin and series 4 will be 1/10 ounce coin and series 5 will be a 2 ounce coin. The coins are currently at the machine shop now, but David hornby of magtraonics messed up my design so the only thing it as is the year and the B. No "F" or impression for the private key. He has not answered any of my emails either in weeks. Series 2 will feature a much better design different front and back.
