What do you guys think of these?https://www.silverbulletsilvershiel...des_bu_1.png

I bought one after a customer brought them to my attention, and I am very pleased. I love the symbolism, though I am not sure I get the point exactly. Can anyone clue me in? How collectible are these things? Are the mintage figures to be trusted? How many years have these been out?

I think they look absolutely ridiculous.

I don't like the graphics, either.

The only thing I like about the SBSS pieces is the "Freedom Girl" image, but the bullets, etcetra don't appeal to me.

There has been a lot of chat about these products here:

Yeah, no thanks. I'll stick with Elizabeth as her true self.

I'm a bit of a typography geek, so I just don't like the fonts - "handwritten" fonts never look right to me, because a font meant to copy a format where every character is subtly different (normal writing) will have to cheat and copy the same letter every time. The result is an unpalatable mix of irregularity (the bouncy, scratchy "handwriting" style of the letters) and regularity (the repetition of identical letters). Most big national mints understand this and use plain fonts (like what you're reading right now), but for some reason the private mints can't resist using silly fonts.

SBSS shut down over a month due in part to some extremely poor business practices. I really like awesome of the designs but I would never buy from them again.
