I received 2 emails from Alpen Coin in total. The first was to confirm my order and the second was letting me know which coins I was to be receiving ( serial numbers ). It also states that the coins would be received unfunded, and funded upon confirmation of receiving coins.

I will wait to hear from others whom are reaching out to Alpen.

when I ordered - I got 2 emails - the first when it was received - the second when it shipped - never said anything about funding or listing my serial numbers - mine were all over the place, non sequential. but based on the dates they were funded weeks before I received them.

Sounds as if the process was/is being refined as it goes.

Thx for finishing the list Mopar. Glad I looked here before updating my list.

Also, my six coins came funded.

while someone pointed out that the site states that they cannot send funded coins to the US - I did not see that when I was ordering and I was told they would be funded - and my 5 arrived funded - in the US.

That being said, I helped others in the US place their orders and theirs were not funded. Also, on the site, where you pull your public address, it specifies that all serial numbers will reflect a balance of .0005 BTC

I have pulled all the serial numbers and their addresses and their balances (the ones with blanks by them are not funded.

what I have not completed is checking the unfunded to see if they were ever funded initially. ~~I am on SN 114 --- edit added another dozen or so~~
I will update the list below when completed

**update** almost half were never funded. some were funded and funds removed, one was funded a second time and again funds removed - 5 of the coins below are mine, 4 are currently funded, 1 has been defunded by me)

Someone who's in direct communication with the coin maker let's ask how the key pairs are generated and handled. Let's start asking the right questions.

I agree with this, I was going to reach out to Frank about the other 10 I helped someone order that arrived empty and was scraping all the addresses and pulling balances when I saw that others were also asking about it.

What are the right questions to ask?

1. how are the key pairs generated and handled?
2. why are some US ones being received as funded while others are not?
3. will the unfunded ones eventually be funded?

any others?

For what it’s worth my order stated they would be shipped empty and funded upon arrival once I receive them. I do not yet have mine in hand but will update once I do.

Not to nark on Frank, but I live in the US and all my coins are supposed to be loaded according to the list of addresses posted above.
I've checked the addresses, all have bitcoin loaded onto them. I didn't peel any.

I think these air-tites might work for it "T30.6 Air-Tite Direct Fit Capsule US Half Dollars" per the air-tite website they are 30.6mm and the coins are 30mm

Thanks. I'm so sick of ordering airtites for some of these coins and not having them fit though... I can't even find one for a certain USA coin I'm trying to restore a boxed set of lol... JP's corner is usually my airtite people, but even they can't find the right one for me (yet). I'll let MJ or someone try one first and confirm. (Also, I hate coins that rattle in the airtites so I'm kinda OCD lol. Cheesy

Sunnybwoy, those are perfect pics, that's pretty much exactly as mine looked.

Maybe a good staple or 2 would help the process?

Yes, this would have been perfect actually. lol.

Oh well, still sweet looking coins! Cheesy

Lol I’m sick of ordering air-tites for everything too. When I receive my coins I will use my caliper and let you know the exact size. I always use https://www.air-tites.com/. If they don’t have a direct fit, they’ll have foam inserts to help make it snug.

Make sure you put gloves on your calipers tips.

The airtities I have fit into the standard "H" size tube...
These are the "usual" airtites that fit the standard 39mm coins (that are usually 1oz)

thanks! I did order some of the 30.6 ones but after receiving several coins that I have gotten from here that are in the airtites with foam rings, I think I much prefer that to the ones without - unless the fit is perfect. I dont like them going clankity clank in the air tites - that's for sure. I will have to see how the 30.6 fit or I may just order the 39's with the 29 foam ring.

Thanks again.

if it helps, I did measure mine - the only hard one to measure was the thickness in the center because of the depression on the back and the face is actually raised - I did not want to scratch the coins so I did not measure that. so the last picture is just of the edge.

here is each coin. #3 and #4 were the largest variance with #1 #2 and #5 pretty darn close to each other.

Minerjones, that is a great fit! what size air tite to fit the 29mm foam?

I have some on order - when they arrive, I will let you know.

another option would be to go with a larger air-tite and use the foam rings to fit a 30mm, right? I have received several coins like that and I do prefer that to hearing them rattle. A perfect example is the 3 bitcoin pennies I recently received, they rattle around - yet the one I got from MJ was a larger air-tite with foam ring and his bcp did not rattle - I will looking to getting details from him on the size used, if he knows, and replace the others with matching ones that keep the coins from rattling around.

Like everyone is saying Packaging could have been done a little bit better Grin

, but all stickers are still intact and the quality is nice so will definitely be ordering more when they're available again.

Keep using the gloves, don’t follow the poor examples laid out above by those filthy heathens.

I will have to check my PO box on Monday, glad to hear people like them.

Honestly, the packaging is the worst part - I was going to auction a set of 5 but the packaging was so shoddy I decided not to. The problem was he uses really cheap cardboard coin slips that either don't quite fit perfectly or the heat is making the adhesive not stick. Anyhow, a few coins were starting to fall out but the adhesive held them in place.

Just for the record, I always wear nitrile gloves for anything precious. These being zinc alloy, although very shiny, and low-value, I just didn't want to deal with going to buy a new box since I just ran out a few weeks ago.

Also, they are fairly easy to just slide into sa-flips or whatever flips you may be using. Don't really need air-tites I guess, not sure what I'm going to do with them but if anybody knows the airtight size, lmk.

I will say this, he did acknowledge that the packaging needed improvement and has stated that he will be shipping future orders out differently.
