New update:
08/11/2017 Update
This week I completed what I have in stock of the 500k bars, having assembled around 100 bars in total. (minus drilling the screw heads)
Next week I will do my best to begin shipping as I complete the singles (serials 01-100), and then ideally singles with serials 101 250 the following week(s).
On a productive day with little to no other tasks to perform, I can assemble 20-25 bars, and I have 250+ left to assemble, so some of you will be waiting 2-3 more weeks
and Im still awaiting the replacement coins from the mint today I was told at best 2 weeks, and at the worst 4 weeks.
One of the smaller tasks, like spending 5 minutes to drill the screw heads from each of the 371 bars and polish them, adds up to 1,855 minutes, or 31 hours of work so just know that Im doing my best, and am more anxious to fill these orders than anyone is to receive them.
And again you have all been great and your patience with me has been highly valued and respected
