Btw CI, when will we be getting the next coin(s) for the 10 year anniversary set? We're also waiting for the newspaper as well, any idea on the E.T.A. for the rest of the coins (and Times newspaper) in this series? I think that most of us were under the impression that ALL of them would be done before the end of the year. Can you keep us posted and will you concentrate on completion of the 10 Year Anniversary Set? We've all been waiting for a UPDATE, and it would kinda be nice to get those regularly. Enthusiasm is still very high about the set.
Looks like I did not include your email in the broadcasting list, my apologies.
Coin 6/10 is already shipping, 7/10 ships next week and 8/10 & 9/10 before November ends. 10/10 in December. All before 2019 ends. I usually update the 10 set coin thread but don't bump it. Newspapers will ship next week or week after.

As per mavensbot comments he prefers money to be donated to a charity rather than to him. I was waiting until the coin auction to do something special for the matter, taking into account all sold coins. Nonetheless I am waiting for mavensbot to get back to me with his address to ship a funded coin his way.
shipping from which country (or at least continent)?
and as I'm a newbie in this collectible-forum and don't have a clue (
) ... :
what is this denomination about? i understand that i load such amount on the coin ... if affirmative, where do i get the private key from? and who else has this key?
anyone?
CI is located in Spain I believe. The denomination is 0.005
BTC and has no special meaning unlike some of his coin releases (example. moon coin). If you peel the hologram there will be a priv key/QR more than likely (I have never peeled a CI coin so unsure). You have to pay the 0.005 upfront with the cost and once the coin is received CI usually loads them when you message him.
Exactly, thank you teeGUMES for the explanation, coins are shipped from Spain. And in case you peel the hologram you will have a paper insert with a miniprivate key printed on it, same format as Casascius.
CI - I would like a coin, whatever number is lowest.
Also, can you share your procedure for dealing with keys? Are you ensuring they are wiped etc? Thank you.
PM'd regarding the coin.
Of course!
Keys are generate in an isolated environment, with no other electronics nearby. I use a Laptop, which never gets connected to a network, for the sole purpose of generating private keys, equipped with a SSD which is less prone to data retention. Computer wipes itself after every reboot. I use Casascius Bitcoin Address Utility
https://github.com/casascius/Bitcoin-Address-Utility to generate the private keys.
After keys are generated, I have a Dumb Printer (One without internal memory, so It cannot store any history of printed files) to laser print the keys into high quality paper.
Keys are then cut and coins assembled. I am the only one involved in this process.
Hope that solves your doubts.
