Of the original 1,000 coin minting, less than 100 coins (http://freestatewyoming.org/general-store.html) are left. Order now while supplies last and spot silver price remains at $10! (Prices to be adjusted as necessary.)? These coins have proven very popular even amongst people not moving to Wyoming!
Silver has increased in price from the $7 it was when these coins were minted.? Basically, our price is spot + $13 postpaid (which is a bargain for these rare coins!).?
Once the 2005 coins are sold out, we are not likely to mint future coins because of the expense of the 1,000 coin minimum order from the mint.? So, we've less than 10% left, and they will be sold out by summer 2006.
No quantity sales; only one coin per customer/address.
Proof coins are SOLD OUT.

They also age very nicely. Notice that no matter much the USA takes a beating, Wyoming is still on top!
FAQ: "What is that little bump around Texarkana?"
I didn't know this until after the coins had been minted--and you'll find this incredible--but it is part of the Ozark range called...Boston Mountains. I kid thee not!

Here is the reverse side of this artificially aged coin:

(NOTE: Updated on 3/11/2006.)
Plenty of books I'll have at the Jam, but the coins might be gone by then.
FSW silver coins are now $18@ (+$2 S&H).? CASH ONLY!? NO EXCEPTIONS!
If you've been wanting a coin or several, I'd move on it ASAP.?
They're nearly gone (<100 left), and if I were really smart I'd
drastically increase the price of these last ones--or just keep 'em
for myself as my lifetime's supply of gifts/heirlooms.
I'm just quirky enough to do either with no notice (though all orders will be
honored according to their postmark and website details on that date).
Will there be 2006 coins?? So highly unlikely that I can almost say, "No."
2007 or beyond coins?? Maaaybe, but the 1,000 coin minimum minting is an expensive hurdle to clear.?
In short, the 1000 biz strikes and 100 proofs are very possibly the only FSW
coins that will ever exist.

From: "Dennis Lee Wilson"
Subject: The "Wyoming" silver coin as money
As a Free State Wyoming (FSW) supporter and FSW2006 member, I have
decided to offer a special discount pricing to other FSW supporters in
a way that also encourages the use of Boston's "Wyoming" as money. If
my shop was physically located in Wyoming (someday), the process would
be simple, but the shop is in virtual reality so the process is a bit
more complex, but still very real.
Your FREE STATE WYOMING 1 OUNCE SILVER COIN is worth $20 toward any
purchase at my Artemis Zuna Trading Post: http://www.cafepress.com/ArtemisZuna (http://www.cafepress.com/ArtemisZuna)
While this offer is in effect, when you order $20 worth of items or
more, I will redeem your FREE STATE WYOMING 1 OUNCE SILVER COIN for a
$20 Federal Reserve Note (FRN). And I will do this for any multiples
of $20 in your order. If your order is more than $40, I will redeem
two (2) FREE STATE WYOMING 1 OUNCE SILVER COINs for $20 each, $60
order can redeem 3 coins, etc. up to $200 order - 10 coin maximum per
order.
How it works:
Within one week after you have placed your order for Caf=E9Press items
from my shop, send an email to DennisLeeWilson@Yahoo.com notifying me
of your order, your mailing address and how many FREE STATE WYOMING 1
OUNCE SILVER COINs you would like to redeem for a $20 Federal Reserve
Note each. I will confirm your email with a PGP signed email.
CafePress (where my shop is) offers a 30-day money back guarantee on
all products. After the CafePress 30-day return-items period has
expired, I will send you (via US Postal Service) the number of $20
FRNs as promised (adjusted for any returned items, of course) and you
will send the agreed upon FREE STATE WYOMING 1 OUNCE SILVER COIN(s) by
return mail.
This offer may be withdrawn at any time. All orders placed during this
offer will be honored.

Dennis, GREAT idea! I will make the same offer.
I will accept FSW coins for any products that I offer, up to $200.
This goes for books, or Diatomaceous Earth Products.
Books: I have Vin's Books and JJ Luna's "Work From Home At Any Age".
DE products: visit http://www.freshwaterorganics.com and let me know what products you want. Knock 20% off and that is your price. [Example - if you want 5 1# bas of FSF it is $5 a bag. That is $25. Now take 20% off, that is $20. A $20 coin is all you would pay. another example: A 50# bag of FSF is $25. Less 20% = $20.... one coin]
To save on shipping, let me know what books and DE you want and I will bring it to the Jam.
-
Wow, that's pretty neat. I wouldn't part with mine when I get it though. Granted the FSW coin many have some collector value above the spot price of silver, but $20??? I want mine as a piece of history (If we are blessed it will be a Great one) and a tangible representation of something I believe in. I don't understand why someone would give such a great premium to money, in this case silver, or how that could be a good business decision--but to each his/her own. I love freedom...lol. I also like the idea of using real money for transactions and almost paid my FSW statement of intent in silver, but it was so much easier to party with those green things that aren't going up in value...of course, it's their value in green things that they are going up in. Hey, it's confusing for someone who has only recently had his sunglasses pulled off. However, I know cost of printing those coins is an issue and I would be willing to pay a much higher premium for a 2006 or 2007 one;). It's not an investor or collector issue but a desire for me. Hey, if we could get enough people to pay for one in advance maybe we could get a new one made that way...just a thought.
Dave
-
Hey, Dennis, thanks for kicking this off!
It'll be interesting to see the monetary vs. collector utility of these coins.
from Daveasxx:
Hey, if we could get enough people to pay for one in advance maybe we could get a new one made that way...just a thought.
That's possible, and I like the idea.
I'm just not keen on fronting 1000oz. of my own silver again.
If somebody else wants to, we can figure out a fair arrangement.
I'd really like to see yearly minting of these FSW coins.
-
Definately Boston!

Dear Boston,
That little bump of the Ozarks is pretty interesting. There are a number of little ranges of fairly tall mountains - not by Rocky standards but more than just hills. The Ouachita mountains in there are one of the places where Jesse James is reputed to have hidden a huge stash of Confederate gold.
Regards,
Jim

I like that idea too.? I really enjoy the one coin I have and it is...precious to me.? This coin shall be tied to my line and I will not allow any harm come to my preciou-oh umm? yeah. ;)? I did not have a clue you fronted your own silver for this minting; what a gutsy sacrifice.? I'm sending my own order off tomorrow for a roll of coins.?
Davey
-
I did not have a clue you fronted your own silver for this minting; what a gutsy sacrifice.
Thanks.? It felt gutsy.? Was an odd feeling to UPS off 95lbs. of silver.
But it's been fun for hundreds of people, and it's paid off for me.
The real bright folks are the ones who bought proofs at $25!
What the *%#@ was I thinking?? Should have initially charged $50-100.
I'm sending my own order off tomorrow for a roll of coins.
Smart man, and thanks for your order.?
I really am toying with the idea of keeping the last 100 for myself, meaning
only 50 of the 150 left would be for sale.?
I'm also considering selling what's left only as singletons (i.e., not in quantity).
Finally, I'm considering bumping the price up to $20@ from $16.
To own this coin for just $6 (or even $10) over spot is a damn bargain.
Probably too much of a bargain.
(Regardless of all this, I will retain 20 coins to be sold at the Jam.)
Y'all been warned...
3/11/2006 NOTE: Singleton orders only, $20 cash postpaid.
-
Quantity orders of the FSW coins will expire Friday 2/24/2006.
Orders (cash only) postmarked by then will be accepted (per availability).
After Friday, it's one coin per customer and address.?
The price will henceforth be $18 + $2 s&h (cash only), subject to increase as supply dwindles.

Boston,
I've been pondering this coin issue. You mentioned 1000oz and then 95#s........?
If as a group we can monetarily agree on an "exchange" rate for goods and services
then the coins become FSW "currency". We've all got something to sell or barter for these coins. I can build gun cabinets and I'm sure that I can find a sawmill that'll take silver for wood. Outside of our group, we have to go spot plus whatever we can get. Granted you bankrolled this go-round, but if you had enough folks ante up the cost of a pound or more to fill the minting requirement in return for say 6 coins/# and the option to buy more at cost plus. The balance would become P&O to fund the activities of this movement. I'm looking at it from the stand point of an investment in FSW. So what do I really "lose" on the wood transaction? ......"whatever you treasure, there lies your heart" Lk 12:34
As Libertarians we don't want taxes but freedom isn't cheap. Hell, look at what we now pay in taxes and we certainly are not investing in future freedoms. Besides, if we pay 20 FRNs for a coin we have a "store of value". Even if you run off to Costa Rica, I still have 1/2 my expenditure in hard assests! ;D
The inflation hedge is also a huge aspect. What of marketing these coins in Jackson or at Frontier Days or Sturgis. Trade Mark the logo and tap the tourist market with t-shirts and hats. Fill the coffers and buy some BLM auction land for a range and only accept coins as payment....... Whatta' I know I'm just a stupid carpenter......... I obviously don't know how all of this has been financed prior to me chipping in this BS........but investing in freedom for the future of my kids sounds pretty cheap to me.
"....... much will be required of the person entrusted with much, and still more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more." Lk 12:48

Carp,
One can buy generic silver 1oz. "rounds" for spot plus 50-80 cents, so these commemorative FSW coins
are not the best way to buy .999 silver for the silver's sake alone (if that is one's goal).
Owning a good supply of gold and silver bullion is a fine idea for nearly everybody.
But make sure you have your firearms, ammo, food, and tools first.
Bullion is only money, and it is the necessities which we really want, not the money.
Regarding the FSW coins as money, there probably is enough of them in circulation (or even existence)
for that, but I'm open to an FSW syndicate having 10,000+ minted as a private "monetary" base.
Minting cost/coin will be at least $2 with all costs included, so we'd be paying an extra $1.50/FSW coin
for the coolness of trading FSW coins vs. generic rounds containing exactly the same amount of .999 silver.
Would enough people judge that additional $1.50 worth it? Unknown.
1000oz for the business strike coins and 100oz for the proofs.
1100oz/12 troy oz = 91.7llbs + some packing materials (i.e., an ammo can w/i a cardboard box).

Boston,
Before I posted last night, I went to Frugal's and read through some of the barter posts. Wondering about spot/plus. From what I gathered, for US silver coins, (not "junk') the going rate seemd to be about a buck and a half over spot. Folks like Buckshot will accept silver for his videos, traps and snares. I'm sure there are plenty more besides. Used by folks as a medium of exchange, IMHO would be a vehicle create some revenue for FSW.
I rember reading in the Idaho Observer about the guy that started the , I think, Liberty coins and the script. There were people in Victor and Hamilton, MT using the coins to buy just about everything.
A father and son were arrested at a Buffalo Sabers hockey game for using the coins or script to buy beer! So who knows.
I just mailed off FRNs for 2 coins.
Carp
-

Coins or the NORFED notes redeemable in coins? I forget which.
Apparently, they got a bit stroppy about being refused, which fomented their arrest.
If you're paying more than $1 over spot for generic rounds, you're not shopping around enough.
"Junk" silver is worn U.S. silver coinage, of 90% or 40% content.
It sells for a multiple of ___ times face value.
Choose dimes over quarters and halves. Same amount of silver, but greater divisibility.
-
If you don't mind ordering over the internet this site has about the best prices I've been able to find...their APMEX silver rounds are a decent value and sometimes they have "not new" APMEX rounds that are even closer to spot. Right now they have sterling silver rounds for as low as .01 over melt value. Pretty good.

From what I gathered, for US silver coins, (not "junk') the going rate seemd to be about a buck and a half over spot.
(Note: lots of personal opinion follows, so please read it as just that... opinion)
Do you mean specifically coins minted by the Goverment ("coins") or just any silver "rounds" minted here? If you do mean coins, the only non-junk coins I can think of are the US Silver Eagles and numismatic silver. Personally, I do not consider numismatic coins for two reasons. First, the premium over silver content depends on other people also valuing them for scarcity and suggests strongly to me the "greater fool" investment theory. Now, some people really do seem to enjoy collecting numismatics, and that's great. But that is for personal enjoyment. I would not recommend them as an investment. The Silver Eagles do indeed seem to carry a hefty premium, as you say, a buck and a half from both CNI and Tulving. They are indeed nice looking, but personally I would not buy more than a modest number for personal "enjoyment" and for giving as gifts.
Every penny needlessly spent on premiums over the silver content is a penny that can not be used to buy silver :)
Now if you are loosely using the word "coins" to also include silver rounds, then we can get more silver for our FRNs :) Unfortunately, fifty cents seems to be the common premium over spot, but as spot price edges toward ten bucks an ounce, the hit doesn't seem quite as bad as it used to. I have often noticed that both CNI and Tulving list their spot closing price a few cents higher than what I though the real closing price was. I could be mistaken, of course, and I would recommend either one of them; just keep your eyes open :) Since the spread seems to almost always be buy at spot and sell at plus fifty cents, I mentally figure that I could get 25 or 30 cents over spot in a private person to person deal.
I have not done business with APMEX, but I have read many good reports about them. Just be aware of the shipping charges. Right now, they have some 10oz bars at ten cents over spot :) I would prefer those over the 1/2 to 3 ounce sterling bars and rounds. In this case, I would spend a few extra cents to get my metal in a known size and purity that everyone understands.
Used by folks as a medium of exchange, IMHO would be a vehicle create some revenue for FSW.
I am not in favor of the practice of seniorage, that is, taking a large profit from the minting of a trade money. If someone else wants to do it and others are willing to pay the premium, that's fine with me. For instance, I have nothing particularly good to say about that guy selling "Liberty Dollars" where he sells an ounce of silver for $20. Huh?! The way I see it, I could buy almost twice the silver just by buying generic rounds. And (in my opinion, as always!) his paper notes are just not the same as holding real silver. This guy might be the most honest fellow in the world, but if something happens and I cannot go to his vault to redeem his notes for silver, they might as well be FRNs.
My motto is, "If you do not have the PHYSICAL metal, you do NOT have it." Obviously, one does not need to keep the metal in the house, just that it must not be under someone else's control.
-
Bullion bars are more difficult to move and fetch less of a premium.
I bought several when accumulating silver for the FSW coin minting,
and paid very little over spot for them.
Go generic 1oz. rounds.? Most are 39mm in diameter, 20/plastic tube.
Silver U.S. Eagles are beautiful coins, but overpriced for sheer silver acquisition.
NORFED:? I like Bernie von Nothaus and his vision, but have never understood
the $ face value of his coins/currency.? It guarantees an everchanging price
equilibrium, and without any compelling reason.? He tried to explain at Eris why
people should buy his coins at 2x spot price, but without success.?
(Some guffaws were heard...)
They're beautiful coins (and I even have a gold ounce!), but 2x spot?? C'mon...
Richard, thanks for reminding me to redeem the "$40" in NORFEDs I have.
I'd rather have the coins, too.

Oops! It was actually the 100 ounce bars that APMEX had for ten cents over spot. Their generic rounds are not too bad at $10.13 though (38 cents over spot).
Here comes another "personal opinion" :)
Although I have owned 100 ounce bars in the past, I will probably never buy another. It seems that during the silver boom around 1980, there were some scoundrels drilling out the 100 ounce bars and filling with lead. Lead is very close to silver in specific density, so it would not be obvious without careful weighing or some other verification. Right now, silver is still selling for a low price, but some day the price will be much higher and we may see drilling and filling again. Even if I completely trust my vendor today, how will I assure the 100 ounce bar's content later when selling to a concerned buyer? Once ounce and probably ten ounce bars will be much too difficult to drill and fill, so I don't see any problem with those. And the price difference is literally pennies an ounce, so why would I even be tempted to buy 100 ounce bars?
By the way, there is an awesome amount of information on precious metals can find a plethora at:
http://www.goldismoney.info
There is also a lot of talk about investing, politics, conspiracy, and downright crazy stuff too :)
-
One of the reasons I prefer silver over gold is that a lot of it is actually consumed. ie: anything electronic, water purification, many more. OK, and it's poor mans gold...and...well...I'm not exactly rich (in money anyway)...lol. Add to that the fact that there haven't been any new (major..ie: really big) deposits of silver discovered in the world in something like 10+ years... It's just my opinion but I think silver will hit 18 FRN in next 5 years, maybe even 20 FRN. In any investment 100% in five years is pretty nice. I don't have any ideas after that. If the national debt keeps climbing, baby-boomers keep wanting SS, inflation spikes, then who knows. I think everyone should have silver and gold (the physical metal) in their posession. Ideally, small regular purchases over a long period of time. The one thing I have noticed about what I call "gold bugs" (gold, silver metal holders) is that they are always ahead later in life. Just my opinion and observation. I wish I'd purchased an oz of silver every month of my adult life and maybe an oz of gold every year.
Dave
-

Yep, depending on whom you ask, there are somewhere over one hundred million ounces used every year over what is produced and reclaimed. For decades, this deficit has been made up from a vast (six to ten billions of ounces?) selloff by the US government, but they have run out not too long ago. So it probably won't be too many years before the market realizes that there is not enough to go around. Well, at least at today's low prices anyway. Many or most of the silver consumers will buy the metal regardless of the price, and you can guess what that will do to the markets. Here are a couple interesting articles on this:
http://www.investmentrarities.com/04-25-05.html
http://www.investmentrarities.com/08-30-05.html

I think we will see a lot more action than that :) The US government is in a tight spot, between domestic obligations, the trade deficit and all those foreigners holding US funds (forever? I think not!). The money supply has been increasing by 5% or more year after year, and they are going to stop reporting the M3 (sum of all available "money") in just twenty-seven days. That is just a couple days after the next terror attack, and a few before the US bombs Iran. Coincidence? (Well, we will have to wait and see how close my fears area to reality.)
-
There not going to report M3 anymore? Was that part of your prediction? I had not heard that. If that's true I do not like it at all. They will be able to print whatever they want and no one will know until after the inflation bomb has dropped. Of course they could blame that on energy or something...
Dave
-
There not going to report M3 anymore? Was that part of your prediction?
The M3 reports will stop on March 23, as decided by the Federal Reserve board of governors:
http://www.federalreserve.gov/RELEASES/h6/discm3.htm
Iran has made it clear that they intend to stop trading in dollars and start using Euros on March 20, and they will also be setting up some kind of exchange market ("bourse") that may attract other oil markets to trade in Euros. I believe that the US government will perceive this as an act of war, and will "arrange" for a terror attack that points to the Iranians, and use this as a pretext to use nuclear devices on Iran. That's just my fear, anyway.

Yes, that's true.? It happened in the 1980s, I believe.
One mint I received a quote from was adamant about not accepting
Englehardt 100oz. bars (which I'd already purchased).? It damaged some
of their kilns, costing them days and $$$$$ of cleanup.
So, I went instead to NWTM, who had no problem with the bars.
Richard makes an unassailable point about choosing rounds over bars.
You want divisibility and less chance for fraud.
The dollar is on its last international legs, and the USG is getting panicky, for without a perceived strength in the dollar,
it cannot conduct economic imperialism.? (Its military can only do so much...)? An attack on Iran for going Euro would be a
final act of desperation.? We could only muster a brief air war at best.? Forget any ground invasion.
To hide M3 figures is like an alcoholic hiding his credit card receipts from his wife.
At some point, the wife won't even need them to know that he's a hopeless drunk.
But by that time, the family is wrecked.

P.S.? This is all the more reason to buy a few FSW coins! ;D

Silver hit 10.24 today intraday--Wow! More to come I think.
Dave

Just to clarify/reiterate/etc. on the coin order status:
Proofs are sold out.
Tubes are sold out.
No more quantity orders.
Singleton orders only -- $20 cash postpaid.
Less than 100 coins left.
Order ASAP, as the remaining coins are going fast.
Please follow instructions, or your order will be returned.
I hate to be a "hard ass" about it, but here has been our recent experience:
One order for a tube (postmarked in time) was $120 short.
His $200 cash was returned.
Another order for a tube (fully paid) was past the 2/24 deadline.
His $320 cash was returned.
So, $20 cash means $20 cash, not a $20 check or M.O.
(I just have a "thing" against taking promissory notes for precious metals!)
Silver will likely closely at year's end between $12-$15.
Spot price is now $9.98.
These rare coins are a bargain at $20 postpaid, as the design/minting cost alone was $4/coin.
I will retain 20 coins for personal sale at the Jam, but mail-order stock will
likely be sold out by then (26 May).? If you don't have one of these beautiful
coins, this is your last chance.

6 April 2006 price update.
Since silver is rapidly climbing and just closed over $12,
we now accept orders only based on the postmarked
date of spot price (+ $13: $10 premium and $3 S&H).
The below image is from:

Take spot price, round up/down to the nearest dollar,
add $13, and send that amount in cash. (Print out the
spot quote and include with order, please.)

Good to hear, Dave. Thanks for your order.
These coins will be, at some future point, like women's hats or battle rifles.
Does the following general exchange sound familiar?
Q: "Where'd you get that FSW silver coin?"
A: "Oh, we've always had our coins!"

Subject: The "Wyoming" silver coin as money
The FREE STATE WYOMING 1 OUNCE SILVER COIN discount offer in message #7 for purchase at my Artemis Zuna Trading Post: http://www.cafepress.com/ArtemisZuna (http://www.cafepress.com/ArtemisZuna) has ended--due primarily to the current volatile nature of the silver/FRN ratio.
I would like to thank all those who participated.
Anyone who would like to redeem a ONE OUNCE SILVER COIN of ANY kind for merchandise discount may email me directly at DennisLeeWilson (at) Yahoo.com and we can negotiate based on the price of silver at that time.
Coming soon: Merchandise in exchange for electronic gold, silver or platinum: keep watching my site.

As of today, the FSW coins are now sold out.
No more website orders will be fulfilled.
Thanks to all who bought in early, and heavily!
Only 1,100 were ever minted (1,000 business strikes
and 100 proofs).
If we receive sufficient interest we may contemplate
another 1,000 coin mint run, in 2007. While the reverse
(of the buffalo) would be identical, the obverse would
feature a high-relief image of Wyoming. Those who wish
to contribute some of their own silver in a partnership
deal, let me know!

Botson,
I used one of these coins for the first time a couple months ago to buy the Free State Activsim DVD (http://www.soulawakenings.com/underground/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php?page=Free_State_Activism_DVD") from Kat Dillon. :D
I am not going to watch it again, and I thought you may have an intrest in seeing it, so I sent it to you yesterday c/o Javelin press.

Dear Money,
I wish I could edit my posts :'(
Well, everyone's experience is different. For me, when I come across one of my posts, there is a button near the top right of the post "modify" which lets me edit my posts.
I am not, however, aware of all the details on the forum software, so different members may have different settings. Just my two bits worth.
Regards,
Jim

Dear Friends,
There ya go! And joining is cheap and plentiful. Last I looked at it, the statement of intent was not terribly onerous. I think joining up costs $25. Those who fully support this project have contributed many tens of thousands of hours and many, many hundreds of dollars, I believe.
So, c'mon! Don't stand there on the sidelines. Freedom needs your voice, your time, your energy, your trips to the gun range. You cannot be free if you don't act.
Yes, do nothing and you might live, for a time. Join us and you might be killed for being a "patriot." The USAPATRIOT Act is called by many "the Patriot act" but it is not patriotic, and it is simply an acronym. "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism" I recently thought it might be parsed better as the U Sap at RIOT Act. Where the Saps are found to be at Riot, they will get the RIOT act, for sure. Well, needs work.
But dying alone, years from now, what would you give, then, to be a part of our effort, now? What will you do without freedom?
Yes, you can be free. Yes, you can shed the police state. You can burn your REAL ID. You can stand on your hind legs like a man or a woman, and do your part for freedom. You can teach your children about freedom, decency, and the basic tools they need to learn anything. You can be free, but you have to choose for yourself.
The door is here. Yes, I fervently, honestly, truly believe that Free State Wyoming is one of the last, best, and brightest hopes for the future of freedom. You can choose to walk through this door, and join us.
But the choice is yours. Has to be.
I can only show the door to you. You have to choose to walk through it.
Regards,
Jim
