OP...why does it cost 60 Euro ($66) to ship one small unfunded coin to the US? If I recall, your previous shipments were sent in a letter.

I can ship USPS Express Mail to Europe for around $40 and maybe something like $16 for Priority Mail. Even less for a first class small package.

I'd like to cancel my previous bid due to the shipping cost.

If your keeping shipping as stated, I think a US based group buy will be in order.

Here is a list of all Finish shipping costs: http://www.posti.fi/liitteet/hinnatjamaksutavat/hinnastot/kateispalv-hinnasto-en.pdf

@OP, why don't you send the coins in a bubble envelop? That way you pay letter costs instead of parcel costs.

This is a problematic issue that we have been trying to solve. First of all the Finnish post does not allow sending silver products to some countries. US is one of them. We're forced to use other shipping methods which are more expensive. Overall the product is not comparable to the brass products as their value is significantly lower. We're expecting the price for these coins to be significantly higher thus we can't just send them with the cheapest possible method - risks & potential losses are higher. It's a difficult issue but we're doing our best to solve it.

The funded / unfunded doesn't matter as all coins are shipped as unfunded. It's just that the coin value alone will be quite significantly higher and the material is also a challenge in this sense. And well, shipping from Finland is also fairly expensive in general.

We're quite open to any kind of combined shipping options for US orders if I can get verifications from the buyers who want to combine the shipping.

We will continue to explore the US shipping options and it also matters quite a bit how valuable these coins are, which we are trying to find out with these auctions. The value matters when choosing the shipping option, more valuable requires safer shipping.

Places all the risk of fluctuations in the btc exchange rate onto the customer (which imo is shameful) and given the art is already done I cannot understand the 3 month preorder. I'm surprised the regular people who make an issue of these types of things are oddly nowhere to be found.

The exchange rate risk shouldn't be a major problem unless you're buying with fiat. For the auctions we're only accepting Bitcoin. As for the production process, the coins are a bit more complicated to make than our other coins. The coin die is carved partially by hand thus the coin is getting special attention and also it's different size and different material than our previous coins.

Most importantly we're prioritizing the Custom Value coin because it is more important for the Christmas gift market. Also we would rather like to under promise and over deliver than the other way around. This means that if everything goes smoothly, we may be shipping these coins in December. So January is meant to be a safe bet.

The coins will be shipped in January 2016.

Whats your point? Afraid of competition or preorder issue?

Lie down. Have a cookie

Maybe for future reference bidders can do a drag and drop format

like the bid x amount @ x BTC
then have [your_name_here] @ x BTC

That's the format I meant to say.

Just a small note from me. For one, I can't update the OP any longer. Which means that all the updates about the current bid status are much appreciated!

The other thing is that I forgot to put the concept picture of the back of the coin to the OP. So here it is:
