Coin drop: Silver secrets, anyone?

alcatraz Mar 17, 2025

Oooh, we love a coin with that's shrouded in mystery, and these three DELIVER! Alcatraz is one of the world's most storied (and possibly haunted!) prisons. If you've been there, you undoubtedly remember how it felt .... And then we've got another installment of our python, whose life depends on slithering past without being noticed. His life depends upon secrecy! Last up, a historic European edifice that was the setting for upper-crust holidays for centuries—imagine the stories those walls could tell. We love these dramatic, compelling coins for their backstories, but they're pretty to boot. Scoop up all three in this week's drop.

Just off the coast of San Francisco, the Pacific Ocean churns off the deserted shores of Alcatraz Island. This silver replica of the infamous prison island rises off the coin’s face, simulating the terrain of what was once the United States' most secure penitentiary. High-res colorization lends beauty to the haunting place, but from 1934 until 1963, even the distant sight of Alcatraz was bone chilling.

Slithering soon to the top of the list of coolest snake coins you’ve ever seen: the striking python, a Hunters by Night addition. With a gaze as piercing as its 150 curved teeth, this python commands attention anywhere it goes. Weighing in at one whopping kilo, this coin will make you glad that its obsidian black glisten is just the finish quality and not the moonlight glancing off the head of this deadly predator ….

The elaborate colorization transports you back to when French kings vacationed here, hunting its grounds and striding its halls. Now its famed double-helix staircase is enjoyed not so exclusively, but by visitors from around the world.

Not Sure How A Coin Drop Works?

Just follow these steps:

A few minutes before the time of the coin drop, log in to your account on 7kmetals.com.
Click the "ACT NOW" button in the coin drop box on your account page. You'll find it under My Offers.
When the timer counts down to zero you'll see the coin drop interface appear. Swipe left until you see (on a touchscreen device), or click on the image (on a computer) of the coin you want.
Click the "I WANT ONE" button underneath the coin description.
Do this for all the coins you want to purchase.
Check your shopping bag to see what you have agreed to purchase.

That's it! That's all there is to it!

A few things to note:

THERE IS NO CODE NEEDED!
If there are multiple grades of a coin, you'll need to select the one you want. Make sure it's highlighted. The system defaults to the PF or MS69, so if you want the PF or MS70, you need to select it.

You need to act FAST! The reason we do coin drops is because so many people want a limited number of coins. This is the fairest way we have found to offer these coins. If you see the button underneath a coin flickering between "I Want One" and "Sold Out" it's because people are claiming and then changing their minds about the last few coins.
PRO TIP: People continue to "unshop" throughout the duration of the coin drop. Don't give up if the coin you want sells out in minutes (or seconds!). People will grab them and then change their minds so coins often become available all throughout the drop. KEEP TRYING!
