I’m proud to announce the sale of my first series of physical coins…..Genesis Coin
- The idea: I was looking for physical coins, other than the more well known coins (i.e. Bitcoin, Litecoin, etc.) and saw that there weren’t many choices out there if any at all. There are many companies minting physical Bitcoins and I did not want to add just another choice for people. So I went out and created a brand new line of coins to compliment the current market. So what I am bringing to the market is a line of coins, which I call Genesis Coin, which in my first series of coins will represent 12 different coins with a total production run of 300.
- Coins and mintage: As I’ve stated there are a total of 300 coins in Series 1 of my line spread across 12 different crypto coins, as follows (Coin and total amount minted):
Bitcoin - 10
Litecoin - 10
Dogecoin – 10
Coin2 – 30
Hyper – 30
Peercoin – 30
Namecoin – 30
ShadowCash – 30
DNotes – 30
Darkcoin – 30
Reddcoin – 30
Clams – 30
- Coin Design: Because of the large cost to minting a short run of coins, each coin will have the same generic design. The design on side one – will have the word Genesis right in the middle, with a circle surrounding the word. On top of Genesis will be six dates and below will be six dates. Each one of those dates corresponds to the genesis block creation date for each one of the 12 coins in series one. On the outside rim will be the names of all 12 coins represented. On the bottom right will be the date 2015 to correspond to the mint date. Opposite on the left side will be a serialized engraving of the number coin it is. And on the bottom center will be the coin’s name that it is engraved into the coin. On side 2 will be a full address on the top rim that will be specific to the coin that is engraved on side one. In the center will be a security sticker in a recessed area that will cover the printout of the full security key that pairs with the address engraved above it. The security sticker has my companys name that lights up under UV lighting. The coin is 1.5” in diameter and is made from copper/brass alloy. Each coin will be serialized 1-10 or 1-30 depending on which coin you get. Every coin serialized 1-10 will be gold plated (for all 12 coins), and every coin serialized 11-30 will be silver plated (for the 9 coins excluding; Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Dogecoin as they only have 10 each produced). There will be black accents throughout the coin for contrast from the silver or gold plating. So yes there are only ‘10’ Genesis Series 1 Bitcoins that will be produced. Again I’m looking to compliment the current market.
- THE TWIST……
- Distribution: So as an avid collector of many things throughout my life, I wanted to change the current distribution method of attaining these coins. As a kid I grew up collecting sports cards, buying many, many packs of cards to try to get the cards/players that I wanted. So what I have chosen to do was to employ the same type of distribution method. For every coin serialized 1-15 and 26-30 will be packaged up into “packs” and for the coins serialized 16-25 they will be available for direct sale. Each coin headed into packs, has been put into a non-see through white package and a Genesis sticker placed on the front of the package, everyone of them packaged the same. So what that means is that the Bitcoin, Litecoin and Dogecoins are only attainable via buying a pack and landing the coin. The other coins will each have 10 available for sale and the other 20 placed into packs as well. So for Series one there will be 85 coins directly for sale and 210 “packs” available for sale. That leaves 5 unaccounted for; 1 I will be shipping off a pack to a member here at BCT, Elianite, for his review. It will be a non premium coin (coins serialized only to 10). The other 4 I am keeping for my own collection, again none of them are premium coins (Bitcoin, Litecoin, etc.). I will be keeping 1 of each- Coin2, Hyper, Darkcoin, and Reddcoin. Every coin individually for sale and in the packs will be placed in a plastic coin capsule.
- Cost: $15 per individual coin or pack.
- Payment: I will ONLY accept Bitcoin as of this time. I will not accept Paypal under any circumstance, (learned the hard way they don’t like anything to do with digital currencies). Hopefully in the near future I will accept other coins including yours, but not as of now.
- Preorder: None. Coins are minted, in hand, packaged and ready to ship.
- Shipping: I will be shipping from The United States in New Jersey. I will be using USPS for all sales. For shipping within the lower 48 states, tracked shipping will be $6, and most international shipping will be $16 using tracked registered USPS mail (please pm me with the country you would like them shipped to, to confirm). Those quotes are for 1 coin or pack. For multiple coins or packs please pm me for a quote. I will be making shipments every Wednesday and Saturday.
- Escrow: Of Course, We can discuss who will provide escrow services, but ultimately I will have to approve and will only utilize a reputable escrow service from a member here on bitcointalk who has provided multiple transactions without issues (i.e. OGNasty).
- Terms of Service: All sales are final and before purchasing understand this. As with any coins that have been made, there is a possibility of counterfeits that pop up. I cannot be responsible for anyone purchasing Genesis coins from anyone other than myself, unless I approve them as a reseller.
- Disclaimer: There are a couple of known manufacturing errors that were discovered after receipt and my verification process:
o 3 coins (Bitcoin ser #2, Coin2 ser #2 and Peercoin ser #9) have the serial number and their name engraved upside down
o All Shadowcash coins ser# 1-30 have been engraved with the name Shadowcoin instead of ShadowCash
I told myself, for my series #1, if there are any discrepancies (other than address) that are minted wrong that I will be keeping them as is. I wanted a true representation of the first set of my coins. With my future series, these will be sent back for rework prior to release. It was more than I thought would come out, but it is what it is, and I’m sticking with the true first mint as is.
