    Well executed and a pretty design. But apparently all of their products have a religious theme. Pass.

    I don't see any direct religious theme. Maybe a very indirect one influenced by C.S. Lewis's The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe?

    I like the round. What does the full reverse look like?

    I like it, it's very nice as their silver bars.
    The only thing they could have done better is the 99.9% pure. I like .999 more. JMHO

    I think by far they are best looking silver made currently!

    I'm in your corner with that comment. I did buy several rolls yesterday.
    Their 10 oz bars are in my opinion, also the best looking bars.

    I strongly suspect the lion depicted is the Lion of Judah, another name for Jesus and the inspiration for CS Lewis. The crown with the cross on it is hard to dismiss.

    Most if not all of their other products say IGWT.

    I don't. And I have a choice. Pass.

    I did not see them on their website though.

    It was a special early release for registered customers so it is not available on their site yet, I ordered a roll and hope to have it by Friday!

    If you want some, register with their site, log in and then you can buy the rolls, currently at $419 plus shipping (for me it was $6.50 USPS).

    I may order a roll; I am not sure as that averages out to over $21.00 per ounce for a round ($2.50 per premium).

    Agree that $2.50 over melt is a little steep for a silver round. You may be able to pick them up closer to melt on the secondary market in a few months if you are patient.

    Good luck ... Not so, if they sell with the same premium as the Scottsdale Stacker Bars.

    Good looking round, but personally, I'd rather have ASEs or other govt. bullion . . . cheaper.

    Need the following OBW rolls to complete my 46-64 Roosevelt roll set:
    1947-P & D; 1948-D; 1949-P & S; 1950-D & S; and 1952-S.
    Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!

    << <i>I strongly suspect the lion depicted is the Lion of Judah, another name for Jesus and the inspiration for CS Lewis. >>



    I did some research on Scottsdale a few month back before I bought some 10oz stackers. I can't remember if they directly said it was the Lion of Judah or slightly suggested it, however I got same impression Weiss. But that's why I bought the bars image . I think it's one of the better looking logos out there.

    I know Academy makes the Scottsdale stackers, but I was a bit disappionted in the quality of the bars. The edges were wavy, and the inscriptions wern't fully stamped on a few of them. I have some Academy stackers and an APMEX stacker and they are a better quality. I guess I got unlucky. Those Scottsdale rounds looks awesome.

    I received my rounds today and they are much better looking in hand than our scans. DMPL surface but for the lion which has a mat like surface. Same on the reverse. Excellent strike.

    If no one else does, I'll take a nice picture of one in hand when I pick them up at the post office tomorrow. Got the yellow slip in the mailbox today. Glad to hear they look even better. I've always been pleased with all their products and service. My favorite now from Scottsdale, are the chunky 10 oz bars they have.

    I would say yes... Most bars are considered proof when first issued ... Proof Like is probably a better description.

    The reason that it was worded as "99.9%" was so that the word "SILVER" would be perfectly
    centered at the top.

    PS:
    I did the dies for these. I used their Lion logo with some slight modifications and embellishments.
    I designed the reverse side, taking a que from the old Spanish Cob treasure ship silver pieces.
    The center shows an "SS" (Scottsdale Silver) wrapped around a double-ended sword blade,
    with a cross bar. Around the rim on both sides are little trapezoid (ingot) shapes.

    In my humble opinion, best looking modern rounds available.
