Important Note about fork-coin values:
All of the above BTCC Mint collectibles fully loaded and funded with Bitcoin at their face value, at the time of manufacturing.
Please note that all coins above are mine d in 2016 and 2017, before the hard forks in late 2017. This means that every coin would also have equivalent amounts of BCH, BTG, BCD, and other “Bitcoin fork-coin” values, in addition to BTC value. (This means that each coin’s actual value today could be at over +16% of today’s BTC value alone.)

IMPORTANT AUCTION UPDATE (Tuesday, May 29, 2018)
This Auction (for Lots A-E) will be Extended until this Friday, June 1.
Due to unforeseen shill bidding by a newbie account, the final outcome of the auction was affected for lots A-E. (Lots F-M were not affected, and those auction results are final.)
After much consideration and taking input from forum users, we have decided to do the following:
1) Re-open and Extend the auction time for Lots A, B, C, D, and E.
2) The auction for these 5 lots start again right now, with an auction end time of Friday, June 1, at 4:00 PM / 16:00 hours UTC.
3) The auction will be open to everyone, however, Forum Newbies will have to get pre-approval to bid. We will ask Newbie users to send in 1.0 BTC as a refundable escrow, in order to place valid bids.
4) BTCC_Official will post in this OP, the list of Newbie users who are qualified to bid in this auction. All other Newbie bids should be considered invalid unless we have pre-approved their participation.
5) The starting bids for Lot (A-E) will be the highest bid by a user that was not impacted by the shill bidding. See the bottom of this OP for the Starting bids and current high bidder.
6) Winners will NOT have to pay extra shipping if they already won and paid for an auction Lot F-M.
We sincerely apologize for the inconveniences and confusions caused. We will learn from this experience, take in your constructive feedback, and vouch to improve our process and procedures for future auctions. Thank you for your continued support and trust in BTCC.
In the mean time, you now have your chance to win Lots A, B, C, D, and E!
Sincerely,
BTCC_Official
ATTENTION: Important details about payments and shipping addresses:
In order to prevent fraud through identity theft and hijacked accounts, we will utilize the following procedure for payments and specifying of shipping address.
1) After the auction ends, we will update the OP listing the winners, along with the total amount of BTC for all lots won by the winner.
2) We will then need each winner to send us a PM/DM, with your name, desired shipping address, email address, and mobile phone number. (You can also specify that you want to pick it up in person at our BTCC office in Shanghai, China, by giving us your real name, passport number, date of birth, and mobile number. We will use that information to match up your credentials when you come for pickup. Deadline for pickup is June 30, 2018.)
3) Only after we have received your individual PM/DM with personal details, we will then update the OP to give a unique Bitcoin BTC Payment Address for each winner. You will have until Friday, June 1, to make your payment.
4) After your payment is received, you will NOT be able to change the shipping address or the pickup method anymore. This is really to protect you, such that even if your Forum account is comprised later, we will NOT obey any instructions to re-route shipping destination.
5) Finally: we will NEVER send you payment requests via PM/DM. Please see all official postings in the OP. All payment requests and BTC addresses will always be posted in the OP.

Thank you everyone for participating in our first BTCC Mint auction this year!
We know that we had a few hiccups, when it came to unverified Newbie users making fake shill bids. We will learn from this, and improve our auction rules for next time. In the future, we will require all Newbie (or questionable bidders) to be pre-approved by BTCC, by depositing an amount of BTC as escrow. This will ensure that all auction bidding is legitimate, to provide the highest integrity to the auction.
We appreciate your patience and understanding, and thank you once again for your trust in BTCC and our BTCC Mint products.
With this success, we will do more auctions in the near future.
Stay tuned!
(What would you like to see auctioned next? Make some special requests!)
