DHL is excellent for sending documents, in terms of other items it could be more of a hassle. Based on personal experience, I would recommend looking into all the customs requirements first.

$53.80 my currency isn't too bad for a specialized round, especially if it is .999 silver content. I am going to get two, just for novelty purposes. I could wait a couple of months for that cost realistically. Looking forward to when the payments open.

But if it's accurate to the real thing, wouldn't that be counterfeit? I remember a while back some silver pouring hobbyist got done for selling coins stamped as if they were good for USD,
Counterfeit in the US is related to financial notes (dollar bills). You can make any sort of coins that you want. If you pass them off as US currency, that is fraud. But, minting of coins is in themselves is not regulated. There are a lot of "US Dollar" commemorative coins made/sold for profit that have nothing to do with use as currency. Also, there was a case where a man was paying in $5 gold coins that contained an ounce of gold. The employees were claiming income based on the $5 face value and that didn't hold up in the courts.

Also, a quick note for @Null in one of your recent live streams you made a passing comment something like "send your crypto and I'll convert it to silver" ... don't even go close to that type of statement because the DOJ may be looking for reasons to prosecute people acting as money laundering for crypto (the "convert to silver" statement). You're happy to sell them a fine, high quality, commemorative coins.

In regards to shipment, does the Suez Canal fiasco had an impact to silver at all? It may hike the price if it did.
Don't believe so but not in the precious metals industry.

Josh is kind of in purgatory of precious metals shipping. He's not moving enough to justify a dedicated courier but he's shipping a lot for FEDEX.

What I am afraid of is Josh's shipment getting flagged by Customs that brings in FinCin as bringing in $15k in silver attracts attention.

The cargo is sent to a customs warehouse, people start bitching on this thread. Some Troons and progressive hear about this then call the Feds. Pushing the right buttons they get Feds to hold it, cause we are alt-right extremists, and Josh needs to send the lawyers / customs brokers to sort out the mess.

I cannot start the run until I figure this out.
There's easy ways to get coins sent to various locations, even anonymously, but it's still a logistical nightmare from my experience.

I would suggest getting some warehouse forwarding service to handle this shit, but the shipping still isn't going to be cheap. Say USA to Australia, that would be $32+handling via DHL or $17+handling via the absolutely rubbish USPS, however it's lower than the $43 or so being quoted.

Shipping internationally from the USA is one of the cheapest to be fair, if that's expensive then it's more so anywhere else. People might claim China's cheaper, well not really, you can't compare airmail or sea freight to parcel postage. America has similar services which are just as cheap, slow, and unreliable as China's.

So here's the idea, there's plenty services available, but to the masses there's this thing called a freight forwarder.
Example: https://www.myus.com/
Pros:
- Florida has no goods tax, unlike services in Commiecuckfornia
- USA address, fast and relatively cheap shipping to all over the world
- Easy to anonymise the purchase. Users can get a different forwarder, have the coin shipped to that forwarder under a bogus name (address is some warehouse mailbox), then to their real location under another bogus name, or even to a mailbox. This is undoxable, but costs do rack up.

Cons:
- There's a middleman, what if they mess up?
- You'll have to pay them to split the big package, unless the company is willing to ship 500 fucking parcels, that's fucked and won't happen. A middle ground is asking the company to put each coin into a padded bag, which makes splitting the box into 500 or so fucking packages easier
- The total cost according to my rough estimations is borderline $30, inclusive of shipment and labour.
- You pay the customs, however you can lie about the value of the parcel (some services allow/tolerate that), say it's $1 rather than $42, customs drops from $42*tax% to 2 digit cents. This fucks insurance, if it's lost you eat it all.

$15 per hour labour, 1 minute to pull an individual bag of one coin out of the lot, about $125.
Processing for each parcel is typically $2, assuming a cheap $20 service is used, that's around $25 shipping?
If it takes 1 minute, that's 0.25 to split each coin, 0.5 if it takes 2 and 0.75 if it takes 3.

You'll then have to put in the addresses of buyers yourself which is there's hundreds of, obviously $25 is assuming international shipment, within the USA which is the assumed origin, it's probably $10-$15. If DHL is used for international shipments, then that $25 becomes $35-$40.

I will recommend against shipping anything from fucking Russia, it's unimaginably slow and expensive as fuck. Their version of "EMS express" takes a couple fucking months.

I have a feeling that shipping these rounds are going to get really expensive very, very soon given the Suez situation.

Here's a more imbecilic, but less expensive idea: sell shares of Kiwi Farms, so we can have an excuse to spam "BUY" and "SELL" in either the site's chat or a Discord chat where we sound like this:

Sure, it won't be valuable like silver, nor will we be able to barter with it in a post-apocalyptic scenario, but it'll give you money and something for us to do on the weekends.

Anyone ever see that movie "Looper"? I'm just here thinking about how the Loopers got paid in silver (and one last time in gold). How the people in the future who'd throw people into the time machine to go get killed in the past wore silly Jew hats, and how the guy in the future was telling the main character to ignore France and go to China. Now we have Erverlord Jersh; who extolls the virtues of China, loves the nation of Israel, and wants to start giving out silver.

Josh... are you a time traveler?

Don't forget insurance for loss in shipping transit. Usually 3PL will handle that if they are responsible for shipping, but if the coins are lost when shipped from Mint to 3PL then you're fucked. I've had car parts, MTG cards, collector stamps, even clothing "lost in transit" from original seller to 3PL. Its not common, but it happens.

20 years in the future civilization has fallen. Those who have survived have been forced to become something less than human, and only a few scattered communities maintain a semblence of law and order. You wake up chilled to the bone, your body wracked with hunger so crippling you can barely move.

"Today is the day," you whipser to yourself. You have to survive. No matter what it takes. Just one more day.

You reach into your rat-knawed duffle bag and clutch at the tiny disk of precious metal as if it were your own child. The object that kept you going all this time. The token of memory that shined like a star in the darkness all these months and reminded you of a better life, of the friends you never truly met, most of them surely long dead. Maybe, just maybe, it can give you one more day.

Hobbling into town past the hungry, lecherous glares of the hardened men who have survived and thrived in this wasteland, you realize you would surely be crying were you not so dehydrated. But you have to give it up now. This is what they would want. What the Farms would want. You stumble into the trading post with your last iota of strength and limply drop the coin on the counter.

"Food," you gasp. "I need food. And water. Whatever this will get. It's silver and it's very rare."

"Uh huh," the grotesquely fat woman behind the counter mutters. She looks the coin over throughly, fondles it with contempt and spite. "Sorry," she says with a malevolent grin.

"I don't trade with racists."

As per the poll, I will buy two.

And I wanted a new credit card anyway so I'll shred mine once I buy these and order a new one.

Two for two for one. Thernks Jersh.

Can’t you just use your legit card to buy yourself a Visa or MC gift card, then use the gift card to buy your shameworthy alt-right memorabilia?
