Topic: [ANN][WTS] Brand new line of Physical Coins! SERIES 1, SOLD OUT!!! - page 7. (Read 13734 times)

I would like one of the random packs. Could you tell me how much that is going to cost me? I live in the EU if that matters. A PM with all the information and a payment address would be much appreciated.

Yeah I made some slight miscalculations.  Next coin will have a slightly smaller font with a slightly larger recess area and the bump will go away (series 1 only).  Ive used inkjet.  Should last over a hundred years especially that it wont see direct sunlight (#1 cause of fading).  Im fairly new considering how long most of you guys have been here and catching up on the desireables when it comes to physical coins.  Although its fully minted my series one is more a "beta" than a final product.  I wanted to see what works and what doesnt.  Although its not a deal breaker i do want to fix the back area in the future.

Btw love the serp coins didnt know they were yours.  They are next up to the addition.

I must agree with you one the mini keys, I also prefer a long key any day of the week.
I had no problem fitting a full key in a serp coin (one side single layer), if I remember right then are the indent 10x10mm.
Have you use inkjet or laser print?
(interesting on the bleeding part, I was not aware of that).

To claify for all there is a recessed aread on the back of the coin (technically 2 recessed areas)  the first area is slight and that is where the sticker covers (the outer recess).  And then the one in the direct center that the private key is placed.  Its .5 inches in diameter and ezeminer was right the full key (no minis) is folded which after folding the paper is thicker than the recess.  So the result is that it bulges a bit.  Pros: its a full key for everyone that doesnt know how to handle minis and the font is large enough for people not to have to breakout a magnifying glass to read.  I also figured (maybe incorrectly) that the larger the print the greater the chance that any slight bleeding over the years wouldnt be as effected as with smaller fonts.  Ultimately I didnt think it looked to bad on the actual coin but in future series this is on the plate to fix up.  Hope this clarifies things.

The paper behind the holo bulges out.  It doesn't bother me.

There is. I believe it is the private key on a small folded piece of paper

I'm not OP, but I'm fairly sure that there's a visible indent on those pics?

Nice pictures snarlpill!

@OP From snarlpill pictures does it look like that you did not make an indent for the private key on the backside of the coin, is this an correct observation?

Did anyone get SDC #1 ? If you did and would like to sell or swap PM me please.

@snarpill glad you got something in your pack that you were happy with.  Thanks for the added pics.  The shot of the front is really nice.  I might need to hire you and bithalo to do my pics next time...lol

I bought one of wheelz1200's Genesis coin packs the other day when I saw his thread and I received mine a couple days ago, but just got around to picking the package up today. I ended up receiving Darkcoin #004 and I am very pleased with the outcome! I really wanted a Bitcoin (or LTC, or DOGE), but thought about just purchasing a single Darkcoin or Clamcoin just to know I would be receiving a coin I'd want for sure. But I took the chance and rolled the dice with a random pack so I was very pleased to receive a physical Darkcoin, especially because I just recently added an F*D physical Darkcoin to my collection.

I really like the Genesis coin I received. Wheelz took a pretty different approach to distributing these which equals somewhat of a gamble for the buyer but I thought it was a fun idea. I like how they come sealed up in his branded little packs as well, that is a cool touch and really keeps the mystery going until the last minute. The coin itself is pretty hefty, has a nice mirror-like finish, and there is some pretty good relief on the minting like with the "2015". Another thing I really like about it is that each coin's public address is fully engraved onto it, no first bits or having to look up your address to have the full thing. The UV logo on the hologram that bithalo captured looks pretty sweet too. Overall I really enjoy the coin and would like to possibly get the BTC, LTC, DOGE, and CLAM versions sometime in the future.

Anyways, here are some pictures I took. (If you're wondering why I always hold coins when I photograph them, it is because I can get better lighting in my dark-ass kitchen this way)

Thats a pretty good score.  #3 doge.  Only 10 made.  So 1 doge and 1 bitcoin down.  Glad to see these packs are getting to their destination.  This early on i dont if it will be a success or not but either way you guys hold some rare coins.  I didnt even keep any for myself.  It was hard but thought it was only fair to put them all out in the wild.

I just got the coins today.

Two coins.

#003 Dogecoin
#015 Namecoin

I'm pretty happy.

Thanks Wheelz1200 and TookDk.

I was excited to get the variety I wanted.  I figured I had very little chance considering there are 12 Crypto versions and 9 of those had 20 coins vs the 10 coins for Bitcoin.

@bithalo.  Congrats!  Unless someone has not come forward you are the first one with the genesis bitcoin.  9 more scattered throughout as well as the lite and dogecoins.  All of the low serial number coins only available via packs as well.

That was a lucky punch... the clam and bitcoin is a keeper

Received my package today.  Ripped open all my 3 packs and on the 3rd pack, received Bitcoin #007.  Awesome!

Also a Clams #003 and Coin2 #015.

The gold vs silver plating difference is very subtle.

I also used a black light to take a picture of the holo

More packages sent over the weekend.  Thanks to all that made my first week successful.   3 more weeks strictly on bitcointalk and then I will pursue other maketing avenues.  Just wanted to give everyone here first shot at these coins.  Hope everyo e has a good week!
