Lightning Coin Drop

Lightning Coin Drop

coin drop Jul 12, 2022

Abraham Lincoln used the newly invented telegraph to win the Civil War. During that time, Old Abe referred to telegraph messages as "Lightning Messages" due to the near instantaneous speed with which they were delivered.

You may be wondering what that little tidbit of information has to do with a coin drop. Well, it relates in two ways:

  1. If you've ever participated in a 7k Coin Drop, you'll understand the lightning fast reference. When we drop coins, they go FAST. Sometimes selling out in just seconds!
  2. One of the coins we're dropping this time is the next coin in the Life of Abraham Lincoln series... the Telegraph!

But that's not all! We have a bunch of awesome coins to tell you about. First, set your alarms for...

Did you know that the telegraph played a monumental role in the Union victory in the Civil War? The United States Postal Corps was formed to lay telegraph wire across miles of warzone to connect the White House and commanding officers to their generals in the field. Abraham Lincoln was in awe of the technology and he spent many a night on a cot in the room where the telegraph was kept.

That's all for this time, folks! They're pretty awesome, aren't they?

IMPORTANT NOTE: Several of these coins will have both 70 and 69 grade options available in the drop. The system automatically shows you the 69 first, so you have to change the option to the 70 if that's the one you want.

New Coin Drop Process Walk-Thru
Exciting times here at 7k HQ! As we mentioned in the previous post, we’re rolling out a brand new coin drop interface TODAY that should help relieve some of the issues we’ve had in the past. You know, things like overloading our system and crashing ALL our servers every time
See this post to understand how to switch the grades. It's easy!

Not Sure How A Coin Drop Works?

We've simplified the process even more to help out. Just follow these steps:

  1. A few minutes before the time of the coin drop, log in to your account on 7kmetals.com.

  2. Click the "Check it out" button in the coin drop box on your account page.
    0

  3. 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.
    3

  4. Click the "I WANT ONE" button underneath the coin description.
    5

  5. Do this for all the coins you want 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.

4-1

  • 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!
