I would vote for higher quality. There's a lot of lesser quality coins out there, but the thing that appealed to me with your coin was the sculpted relief, varying finishes (polished vs frosted), size, weight, and rarity. After I received my first coin, I liked it so much, I ordered another.

i think you should maintain the quality of your brand and not devalue it.

If the price of bitcoins stays high, people will be willing to pay more for the coin itself.

Great ! Ok, now I'm pretty sure I'll go with higher quality !

The only thing I need to decide is the material....

Thanks for your input ! Tongue

I personally would prefer the higher quality myself. Do you know how much cheaper the alternative minter would be?

I too would be interested in at least 10 of the lowest possible s/n coins if the price will be at or below $25/coin.

I would probably be able to sell them for around 10-12$ each... Maybe less...

Would you still be able to offer multi-signature with the lower cost coins? My guess is if the exchange rate continues to head up close to $1000, I think higher quality will sell. If it drops back to the $400-$500s, then the lower cost coins are the way to go. I would like to see the higher quality coins, but the market is tough right now. Smoothie didn't even get face value for his recent auction of funded 1/10 rolls. After the auction he lowered the price on his website. This could all change mattering the price of BTC.

Antique copper would be nice.

Yes, I will still offer multi-sig since it has been the most used options of the first series...

This option is really time consuming (I can't make a batch of them, I do them when I receive the order), so that is one of the reason it make the price a bit higher.

Also, at this price, it comes only in a air-tite capsule, no box unfortunately... (If peoples really want box, I may add this options but it would add something like 5$-6$ per coin)

Thanks for your input !

Probably quite a bit, since the die would be computer created instead of plaster hand sculpted... the material option I have is: ALUMINUM, NICODIUM, BRONZE, COPPER, NICKEL

The options I have for the most expensive one are: ANTIQUE BRONZE, SHINY BRASS, ANTIQUE NICKEL, SHINY NICKEL, ANTIQUE COPPER OR SHINY COPPER COIN

What material would you prefer ?

Definitely not: aluminum

I (and i think most) want a heavy coin, a coin with mass. Not light like made by casascius. A bold, attention grabbing thing to put on display.
shiny copper is good, antique copper is better. antique nickel is also a good bet.
If you do shiny nickel, you must use the same mint as last time, since coins will be same color. I think it could go very well.

To be quite honest, I would consider the Shiny nickel and use the same mint the coins would then be the same except for different metal and compliment each other well.

I say antique broze OR antique copper OR shiny nickel

Thanks for your input ! I think I'll stay with my current mint and I'll see how it goes, I want high quality over high profit !

I dont think I would go with Shiny Nickel since it would look too much like the silver series...

Antique Bronze could look good, I need to make my mind before 72h since I want to order before the weekend.

The process time is minimum 6 weeks, so I guess I'll have them in the end of July or something...

Hard question. You managed to sell your first batch just fine, and now that your over that 'hump', your a respected coin maker with a brand. Your coins were AMAZING quality; stunning. That said, I think a smallish batch of 500 coppers would sell. You make high quality coins; keep it that way.

On the other hand, $25 is alot for a copper coin, BUT perhaps not so much if it has a wallet included.

I assuming your making the coppers in the same design as this previous coin In that case, I would say go with the old mint, and have them both uniform.

From a business perspective however, go with the lower quality. While the previous coin was simply amazing, with a very cheap coin of 10-12 you could get ALOT of people buying them. For me, $25 requires some consideration but ill spend $12 without much of it. You could easily become the most popular maker of such coins with wallets; many buyers would come. This is very good long-term.

All in all, tough choice..

Any idea how much the quality will suffer in order to get that price?

I am currently trying to find the best deal (Quality/Price) for my next batch...

I would like to go with my current minters but the price is a bit on the high side, of course the quality would be awesome like the current batch but that would mean that I would have to sell them in the 25ish bucks range...

This version would be in fine coppers (Shinny), that would look fabulous..

The denomination would be 0.1BTC and the batch would be 500.

What you guys think ?

Should I go with a cheap one and sacrifice the quality or go with higher quality ?

Thanks for helping me out making my mind, cause right now, I am really not sure what move I should make ! :/

No more coins left.

I'll put the four special coins on eBay starting with the Red next week (Yes, I know I've been saying that for something like three week, but this time, it will happen Tongue

)

Wow.. that went fast. I could have sworn there were 35 or so left as of today. Glad I got my two in.

Are you planning on making a new design soon, now that you're sold out? I'd love to have them limited again to around the same edition size.

Next batch will be lower denomination on different material with the same design and will be cheaper.

I am currently working on a new design that will be released in January 2015, since I plan to make a different design once per year.

Might have some surprise before the end of the year tho ! Wink

If you are taking reservations put me down for the first ten of your next denomination

.

I'll try to reserve 10 as low as possible serial number for you !

Love your coins, and all physical BTC I've seen so far really. I would love to have a personal collection of them all someday when my funds allow it. I'm currently working on a section on my site discussing offline/physical wallets and I will definitely try to remember to mention Cryptolator.

Great ! Thanks !
