Potentially the first of these coins to enter the secondary/resale market?
The auction starts at $135 with a buy-it-now price of $175.

BIN of $160
There have been a few that have crossed ebay.
Guess we'll have to wait.
The guy could have also artificially set the market price by setting a higher BIN and chancing it.
You'd need more than one to be sold to determine a true market price.

Well, I finally received my coin after one month, one week and 5 days. It looks great and I'm very pleased!
ANACS will grade 1 coin or 5, cost is the only difference. I am not really sure why anyone would want to grade these though?
I see this as a potential problem. No disrespect to you DebitMe, but if the coins do not all come back with the same grade you are going to have some people who make accusations regardless of what precautions you take. I am not aware of any method to identify a particular one of these coins. They do not have a serial number or even a run number.
If anyone can lend claim to them coming back marked somehow that allows me to identify which coins are which line on the submitted sheet, then it should be fine. Of course someone will complain, someone always does, but they can bitch and whine all they want, they will get what they get (assuming a way to identify them is used and I go through with doing this), if someone cannot lend credit or ANACS does not respond and tell me that they are marked on return, then I will not go through with this for that reason.
I know people will make accusations regardless, but I really don't care at that point. I am a very high outstanding member here and I doubt the baseless accusations of a single individual will carry much weight. Either way, doesn't matter if I don't get answers to my questions.

I was wondering... how would you distinguish who owns each coin? If you collect a bunch of coins from different user, how would you distributed them fair, if they come back with different grades.
The coins itself do not have any serial number.
The ANACS service asks you to put the coins into plastic cases and mark each one with a number that corresponds to the line on the request that you submit. I assume they come back marked somehow, but I have no prior experience with this. Can anyone lend an hand if they come back distinguished from each other? If they do not, then this group grading will probably not happen, because I will have no way of knowing whose coin is whose.
I don't think that is the case, I understand what your saying, but I put the coins in something like this to send...
http://www.pmcash.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=2387?osCsid=239mh739vm9a2ku6iatdib5ee4
which I mark and correspond to a line on the sheet I send with it.
Then it is graded and put into their plastic case, which I am not sure if that is marked so that I can distinguish which coin is which once they arrive back to me?

It's quite possible I will release far fewer than 2000. Only a few hundred have made it into the wild.
I had hoped to have these ready and on the market for the Christmas shopping season but didn't quite get them out in time. Because of this, a few hundred sold. I am sure I could promo the heck out of them if I felt like getting rid of them, but meanwhile, given that BitPay's got the St. Petersburg bowl for 3 years, the way I am producing them now, it's economically feasible for me to melt & remint what I don't sell, to become another coin such as the 2015 coin. When they are no longer available on the Bitcoin Bowl website, that might well be the end of public availability for this 2014 coin.

just ordered one - Im a bit skeptical of the markup and large (2000) run quantity, but it looks fantastic. It wouldnt be the first 1oz silver coin ive spent >$100 on
wonder if we will see it fire-sale for $50 in a few more months though... IMO, the sooner mike melts down the remainder and keep ths total of these in circulation low, the better

had to pay 35 euro ImportFees+TAX I had the same thought...bought the shirt, patch & a football. Have to figure out a cool way to display all of it.

Did somebody get replacement yet? How is the procedure?
