SBSS: Freedom Girl launched today

Chris Duane @ SBSS has launched their 4th coin today, Freedom Girl.

Its a riff on the Peace Dollar. Very nice work IMHO.

I am fairly impressed with the uniqueness of their offerings to date.

Certainly different and at $2.99 over spot , right in the wheelhouse of any other common bullion issue.

    how was the quality on the other rounds you got from them carew?
  • carew4mecarew4me Posts: 3,471 ✭✭✭✭
    The quaity has greatly improved from the 1st issue.

    Proofs were the biggest issue.

    From what I understand , new equipement is now being used
    and the Trillium coins were fantastic.

    I am in no way affiliated with SBSS, I just like the product....so far.

    Got one FG to get the copper round (WTH, why not).

    Got five SQ proofs to flip (WTH, see what happens).

    FG's hair is wild and free, yet a disorganized mess at the same time. (WTH is that all about)

    Might get FG proofs if SQ proof flip works out. (WTH, see what happens, redux)

    I did a bunch of ebay searches on the coin before the slave queen and the proofs don't sell for more than the uncs . check out the thread from a week or 2 ago the links might still be good

    MJ,
    So far I have ordered all 4 releases. I am not getting rolls, just 5 of each BU and a couple of proofs.
    I have very pleased with the quality and the artwork.
    If it all turns sour (I understand the guy has an aggressive plan to release about 30 "medallions" per year),
    then I have some really cool rounds for show and tell.

    As long as he/they maintain the $2.99 over spot, I don't see why I would not acquire future issues, if I like the artwork.

    I think the next one involves Roman soldiers. We shall see.


    Bye the way, I understand that they call them medallions instead of coins and put no monetary value so that they
    can push the "Open Currency-Hard money" angle without attracting FBI attention. They learned that from NORFED.

    Thank you for taking the time to reply and being so forthright. I obviously need a new silver round radar detection system. This one sailed over my head and under my butt. MJ

    Ok, I'm intrigued. What did the first 2 releases look like? The quality looks good.

    That Trivium one is cool (we use the classical paradigm in our home education) and interesting how the symbol was placed on FG's L deltoid, also way cool image

    Kids would never go for the Tshirt on the site, but I might just be nerdy enough image

    The trivium?

    Linear designs don't sell.

    Skeleton designs sell well on coins.

    For whatever reason. I have no idea why.

    The FG proof with the wild hair and profile is a seller based on cost and rarity when the issue runs out. MHO.
  • bronco2078bronco2078 Posts: 10,227 ✭✭✭✭✭


    Most of the searches I did were for the debt and death coin. The proofs didn't seem to sell for more than the BU's . BU's in lots were selling around the same price as ASE's but singly some went as high as 80$ . I'm not sure if those numbers were shill bid up or genuine its hard to tell these days. I took a quick look today but a lot of my old searches were broken by ebay's recent changes and its frustrating to plod through the system now. :

    The slave queen thread wasn't well received here and since I wasn't buying any myself I stopped looking



    Supposedly wildcard searches are gone but I've heard that is possible to still use wildcards if you set them up and save them as RSS feeds.

    Also until recently if you manually edited the search URL and changed it from ***************i.html to *************** m.html you could access old search on a one time basis .


    When you couple the loss of easy access to wildcards, the inability to browse up the category trees, the 12 hour or more delay in seeing completed auction listings and the hiding of best offer accepted its become a lot harder to research these things image

    I gotta say I saw these earlier over on CT and I really like the design!
    Just ordered some....breaks up some of the monotony of the ASE stack.

    I ordered 10 of each. (not rolls. Just want to test the waters.) I like the designs. I am into "different". Just like the Silver Bullets. LOL. I sell in a couple of local antique shops and I know these will sell. image

    Anybody gotten orders yet? I saw somebody had a freedom girl on kitco forums in hand. Been 2 weeks here....although it did say the 20th or so for shipping when I ordered.

    I think that they are holding to their original committments on delivery timing, and I've also noticed that the ship date keeps moving back one day at a time for new orders as well.

    My first order was 1/5. I have yet to get an honest answer from those guys. Not sure this is the right place for my cash but like a fool I'm hanging in there. I pulled my order in Canada though, another poorly managed sale.

    I emailed them about my order and they are not responding. I had a feeling it was going to take some time but I wish they would email me back to let me know something.

    I sent an email requesting cancellation and full refund.
    No reply.
    I just called them....after a delay with on hold and "your call is important to us" I was channeled to a "please leave a message".
    Really poor service here.

  • joz350joz350 Posts: 185 ✭
    It bothers me to get the promotions from them showing the Mulligan mint and Willy producing rounds for "patient customers" but it would seem only dealers are getting product? I thought this was more of a power to the people movement. Between guys dropping coins or tossing them in a bucket on you tube , these guys really seem clueless but again, I'm still waiting. That said I'm not sure they would let me cancel anyway considering the communication skills to date.
  • freechancefreechance Posts: 380 ✭✭
    the site says you can cancel by sending them an email, but it would be a buy-back at current prices-I assume that means spot not the spot+2.99 they charged. additionally there is a $35 fee.
    so if you bought on opening day you'd be out about $5.50 ea plus the $35, I am assuming.
    Guess I'll keep waiting but I will not be ordering in the future.

    Really? Provident has this posted on their web site.

    "Now available for pre-sale with shipping to begin March 6, 2013!" @ $44.12 per round

    It always surprises me when someone buys privately minted silver rounds for almost the same price as ASE's.image

    Well, if anyone from SBSS is reading this thread, they must know that how they handle this new product rollout will determine whether or not they ever get any repeat business for future projects. Their website does make mention of many more "projects". If they treat the little guys poorly, they will go away, myself included. That's how capitalism is supposed to work.image
