I found a shop with an XRF that'll test it, now just have to find a few hours sometime this week to get over there.

Well, just made it back. The whole interaction was awkward enough without asking if I could take pictures of the XRF gun's screen so unfortunately my word will have to do.

The testing device was a high-end Thermo Scientific handheld XRF and I brought both a real and fake American Silver Eagle for calibration purposes along with the two KFCoins used for the measurements a couple pages back.

Pro-tip: not the best idea to bring a fake American Silver Eagle into the fancy place I went to test a questionable silver round that features a tranny currently in prison for raping his own mother...

All that being said, here's the deal:

THIS SHIT IS REAL!

It registered on the XRF as being at least .999 Ag. The owner told me he would have no problem representing them as four-nines (.9999).

Null didn't screw us!

Yet.

Wow. Good to know. Thanks for doing that, my special guy.

After the rough volumetric measurement from the dimensions I was all but sure these weren't pure silver. Best case in my mind would've been sterling silver (.925) and a better than even chance that it might not be silver at all. But then I remembered that I am, after all, stupid, and should have it tested myself after injecting that doubt here publicly.

The best part of that trip was having this older gentleman, dressed to the nines and wearing a watch that costs more than the average starter home look the KFCoin over and go "hmmm, kiwi farms?" and me replying "Yeah, Kiwi Farms! It's a... umm.. err... yep, kiwi farms, that's what it says..." followed by "Oh while I'm here what does this fake silver eagle I also brought show up as on your XRF?"

DAMN THAT NULL FOR BEING TRUE AND HONEST WITH US ABOUT HIS PLAN

Then again, if it wasn't the silver he said, that would've been another strike against 3PL, aside from them fucking up the distribution and being foreigners

I'm an April 1st order-er and have received nothing but the initial confirmation email. I think we're fucked, bro.

Relax bro, Null himself said only 25% of the Total Orders have been fulfilled. 3PL fucked up on the distribution side so people who ordered later got theirs first whilst the early buys are still waiting, You've waited this long a month longer isn't a big fucking deal

Same, but hang in there. They're not all sent, or even created yet. Apparently only 25% have shipped so far and more are on the way and being made. Seems we can still have hope.
Edit: sniped, but yeah this is the best way to think about it.

You right, you right. Still, maybe better to just assume it's not going to happen. What did I expect buying a silver round with the face of a (then) soon-to-be mother fucker on it? The posts of gleeful Kiwis with their cherished shinies is demoralizing to those of us holding on to hope that we'll get one, too.

Bro I also am waiting for my order I did in April however Null has proven himself time and time again that despite that GAE banking complex trying to kick our 3% kang down he can reliable delivery and will problem solve despite the financial fuckery. You just gotta have faith in the dear feeder

The logistics company didn't manufacture the coin, and they're domestic. Their job was to accept the bulk shipments of the coin from the manufacturer, split them up and mail out the small batches of coins to the individual buyers.

Come to think of it, maybe the mailing list screw-up was intentional. Maybe an employee of the 3PL recognized this particular order involved working with something small, valuable, and easily-fenced, so they intentionally didn't update the list so that a few coins could "fall off the back of the truck" (and into their pockets) in the ensuing confusion.

Just an uncharitable thought…
