I gotta' vote on this one too, but with cut-out, even if it amped the cost. It's stunning!

We realize if we did a cut out of the steem logo the other side would be mirrored...... backward.....

There is no denying this is a stunning looking coin, my only concern would be the lack of design on the other side. It would have to match as the "punched out" section would be repeated.

I saw it as not going all
The way through...

that would be a good point, super polished recessed steem logo, like mirror finished?

I think it makes more sense to have a round that is cost-effective to make. I really like this design, but if it's going to be cost-prohibitive to manufacture, we could do a different design for the coin and use this one as a logo for the group.

Just weighing in... i’n sure the community will make the correct choice.

yup would get 10 of that one

I also want the micro chip to be real and rfid ready so it can have vessel embedded inside and so I can scan and pay for stuff with my Steem and steal market share from apple, visa, & mastercard over the next 10 years.....that's not asking too much is it?

I think it's completely reasonable haha

see...i knew the designer would agree

It is the cut out that takes this design to another level, it would be a shame to let cost dictate our decisions. All of us with a serial number under 100 could pay for the coin up front or a donation towards the extra cost, whatever it takes to make this coin a reality, even if to reduce the manufacturing cost we make 100 of the cut outs and the rest are not cut out.

Now the modified pic with the logo filled in is just as nice and still gets my vote and the date on the chip is just class. We could have a slot in the top of it to fit a lithium battery and have built in micro led's that all light up and have a wireless usb memory drive built into it and a locator chip should it ever get stolen, oh and if you whistle it beeps

You just got people thinking about next years design for sure! :)

Ooooh ooooh and it could also be programmed with keyless entry technology for your car so it unlocks the doors when you approach and turns on the ignition for that matter. But i was a fool to think about merely inserting a lithium battery, its silver and solar pannels are somewhat silver! incorporate its own tiny solar pannel! its injenius!!! It would have more technology than the moon landings

i saw a thing about nanobots made of silver, powered by bacteria. Maybe a sweat powered pocket piece with led's that charges in the day and glows at night :)

There we go, bacteria munching nanobots; stick a couple of them in it, i would let them evolve and see if they avdance enough to invent rocket technology and attempt to fly to another silver coin system, land on and colonise a 2014 kookaburra! One small step for nanobots, one giant (inaudible) for steemit rounds.

now that's some ambitious features !

You can always negotiate with @dandesign86 to purchase a copy of the 3D file; then adapt it for your desired features ;)

It's an elegant design even without the cut-out

poor taste....cut-outs are like rip jeans, it's sexy

fashion comes and goes, elegance is forever

sexy is forever and then a bit more

...a bit of drool

Stunning, clear vote for #27!

Gorgeous coin!

A nice clean design, and just think about all the extra coins that could be minted with all those cut outs ;-D

Beautiful design!

I like this one

I would love to see this one with cut-out... even as a second, 2oz limited release edition at a premium price, it there were enough pre-orders to cover all costs.
