Do you currently own any of 2017 Steem Silver Rounds?

Do you want to receive the same Serial Number(s) and COA(s) this time around? 

Maybe the smartest thing that was decided upon with the 2017 Steem Silver Round was to get the edge of the coin engraved with the serial number and then include a matching Certificate of Authenticity (COA) with each coin. 

There were only 1,500 coins minted in the initial offering of the Steem Round. For the 2018 run of the Steem Silver Round, we anticipate this number to increase to somewhere between 2,500 and 3,000, although it could be more. 
With the 2017 Steem Round, every person who ordered one of the rounds received one round that was a low mintage number. There were approximately 91 customers and each of them received one coin that had a mintage number between 1 and 91. 

With that being said, many of the original coins purchased have traded hands multiple times. For instance, @papa-pepper received a batch of coins from both @raybrockman and myself that he gave away to other community members. @coolbowser has held many successful auctions for the coins. My guess now is that there are over 150 individuals that have the 2017 Steem Silver Round. 

As promised previously, if these customers make a purchase of the 2018 Steem Round, they will receive the same serial number for the low mintage coin. For example, if you purchased the 2017 Steem Silver Round and received coin #76 and you purchase the 2018 Steem Silver Round, you will receive #76 of this round as well. 

You’re probably thinking to yourself right now, I currently purchased a 2017 Steem Silver Round, #476, and would love to have that same round in the 2018 version. 

# Welcome to Proof of Ownership
We know that many of you would like to have the same round(s) in the 2018 version that you have in the 2017 version and we would love to get it to you. In order to do that you need to prove that you currently hold the round. 

## How can I prove that I own the round?
Although, this is going to be a little tedious, it is important to prove that you currently hold the 2017 Steem Round. We have created a template that you can [download](https://www.dropbox.com/s/ltrac5ubnf2jmxi/proof-of-ownership-template.pdf?dl=0) and print out and place your COA's on the paper and take a picture of this. There were some individuals that ordered over 50 rounds and they can stay private about this information.

#### Steps to prove you currently hold the 2017 Steem Silver Round
1.	Download and print out the template that will be used for the Proof of Ownership. Please download the template [here](https://www.dropbox.com/s/ltrac5ubnf2jmxi/proof-of-ownership-template.pdf?dl=0).

2. Place the COA's that you own on the Proof of Ownership Template and take a picture. *Note: If you have 20 rounds, there should be 3 pictures.*

3. Send each of the pictures in an email to COA@steemsilverround.com.

Our team will match the COA's with our records from the 2017 Steem Silver Round Purchases and record that you still hold it. 

## Additional Cost to Acquire the Same Serial Numbers You Currently Hold
It is extremely time consuming to sort each of the rounds and match them with the correct Certificate of Authenticity. If you’re able to prove that you own the 2017 Steem Silver Round and would like the same round in the 2018 version it will cost an additional $2 Per Round. If you order 20 Steem Silver Rounds in the 2017 version and you want the same 20 Steem Silver Rounds in the 2018 version, you will pay an additional $38 (19 Steem Rounds [the first one is included if it is the 1-91 batch] X $2 per round). 

# How will I pay for this?
When ordering the 2018 Steem Round, there will be another item that you can select for purchase to reserve the certain #'s that you currently posses. In the case above you would put in a quantity of 19. When checking out, you will list the numbers that you have proven you own via the Proof of Ownership. 

# What about Numbers over 1500 or rounds that people do not want?
Since there were only 1500 rounds in the first mintage, any numbers over 1500 can be requested. The requested rounds must be added to the cart, paid for, and requested at checkout similar to the other rounds. There will be a video about this as we get closer to launch. For example, if you want numbers 1555 and 2000, you can request them and pay for them if they are available. 

# How can I see what rounds are available?
There will be a document in multiple places shows the current available numbers that are available. This document will available on the product pages, discord channels, as well as in many posts. 

# When do I need to submit this by?
Try and get this to me as soon as possible. They all need to be in by the time pre-orders start. We are still a week or so before the rounds will be available for sale. 

### Notes
- There were a few individuals who received two low mintage numbers and these individuals will only be receiving one of the additional rounds, not both. 

- For the individuals that held the group buys please contact me on Steemit.chat (@sevinwilson) or discord (sevinwilson#5606) to discuss about the COA's if you plan to do a group buy again.
