I have >1 of each of the coins.

Even though the pictures are of high quality, it's more amazing when it's actually in your hand.  They are beautiful.

It's great to be able to pay with bitcoin as well.

Just a note here....
Coins have not been handled by hands.  Titan mint does have them in airtights.  And, the black felt bags.  And certificates of authenticity.

I REALLY like the idea of a Human on the face instead of the bland B (even if the B is in gold).  Everyone making a coin with simply a B is simply a copy/clone.

I do agree that the GOLD coin should be/have been different than the Goldine/alloy coin.  This leaves room for a change or second series (which in turn will lift the value of rarity if the face changes in another series).  wink.

Several of Titan coins have been sent in to ANACS and graded at MS67.  (Keep in mind that anacs is great not only for the grade, but the sealed slab (sealed by date).

I would like to see a .5oz version (diff face).   How about a brass (meh) or Silver 5BTC coin?

You don't even need to look at the back of the coin. The title says 999. And typically all modern coins are pure gold. The only time you really see mixture with other alloys is in jewelry.

It could be a lie too! Ya never know. I've bought gold plated shit before I thought was real. Smiley

This coin seems to shine like the american eagle gold coins.  Not like the fine .9999 buffalo coins. Thank god it isn't as ugly as the south african coins with a copper tone.

What karat gold is it?
Says .999 pure gold on the back. That's 24k.

Thanks.  I was looking for a karat and completely ignored the .999...  I should've known better...

Also Titan I own at least 1 of every coin you have made..and I do not have the fancy poster  Undecided

Dude.  PM me your address and I'll mail one out.  Or a few.  We give them away at the bitcoin conventions we attend.



You guys going to be at btcchicago on the 19th?  If so I will swing by and grab a poster for sure!

We probably won't be there in Chicago, because I personally can't be there, but I'm considering having a booth at the show anyway.  We're working out the details now.

Never realized that the poster looks similar to the cryptolator design with the bank crumbling and people running from it.  Hmmm

Ha.  I hadn't made that connection, but you're right.  They do share some similarities. 

We commissioned that poster to be done by a graphic-novel/comic book artist who is a friend of mine.  He's going to be doing a few others for us, all around the style of 1930s-1940s propaganda posters.  I'll make sure we don't have anymore fleeing bankers.  Wink

Wow beautiful coin as always. And this is the first time for a solid physical gold bitcoin. Are those pictures of the actual coin, or is it a render? I can see some flaws around the edges of the coin, so I'm guessing that's a high res shot of the real deal. I would love to have one, but the premium is higher than popular proof gold coins.

That's a high resolution shot of the coin.  We actually have to stitch a number of photos together to get everything in focus at that magnification.  Once the photo is stitched together, it get's a bit of retouching to remove dust and the odd reflections that show up under really bright lighting, but that's the coin.    

When you're buying proof coins of something like a 1 oz. krugerrand, the mint that produces them is typically also refining the gold or owns a partnership with a refinery operating at a volume of billions of dollars worth of throughput.  They are getting their gold significantly below spot value.

Since we're working on a much smaller scale our cost is much higher.  There is a margin built into that premium to allow for discounts for resellers and customers buying in quantity, but we're not trying to gouge anyone on the prices.  As such, you can expect to maintain that premium when you resell the coin.  

We're considering acting as market makers for this coin, buying them back on request to ensure that reselling them is easy for our customers.  
I don't expect many people will take us up on that though, because our other coins typically sell for a healthy markup when resold on craigslist or eBay.
