There were 1501 of these 2012 New Liberty Dollars produced.
Very few were in excellent condition, those that were, have commanded a premium from the collecting community.

They were sold by us at just a few dollars over spot price less than a year ago, but the buyers that are offering them for sale are doing pretty well, though most of those that have them now aren't likely to sell them, those are the collectors..  If this first strike auction were open to the general public, rather than just this forum it is likely it would go higher than it has.  So we think, we hope, this auction winner will also do well, that is our goal here.     We don't expect it to go for a high price, but one that will be good for the winner in any case.

Our primary concern is never the collectors (though I myself am one), but rather those people that will ultimately circulate these pieces into their community, and to spread the message of bitcoin and alternative currencies.  We aren't looking to make collectibles.  Hard money, uninflatable money, is what it is going to take to have a persistently robust economy, and a persistent peace. 

The people can never be free until their money is free.  Without monetary freedom, there isn't any freedom at all.

The OP has been updated with the release pricing.

This auction is for one of the pre-release pieces.  It is for one of the "first strike" pieces special minted for the marketing.  It is something more for the collector than for people that want them to use them.  The general release strikes will be made by the 1000s or 10000s.  There are only 40 of these.

We are taking pre-orders if you want to lock in the silver price at current level, but we aren't really expecting many folks to be buying singles, at least not from us.  Most of our orders tend to be 100+.  We will take orders of any size, but if you are looking for just a single, you are paying full retail + shipping so you will not be getting the best deal around.  Premium goes down with quantity fairly sharply so if you just want a few, you would do better to hook up with a larger quantity buyer and get them discounted + share the shipping costs, etc.

We almost certainly won't be auctioning more of these on BitCoinTalk.  The market here is pretty thin (very few bidders).  I doubt any of the folks that have been awarded these would let them go for this, but we did want to at least provide the opportunity for our supporters here to get a chance at one of these.  You have all been very good to us and we are grateful for that!  Thank you for bidding.

Thanks, you made me realize I misread the auction; I thought it ended 24 hours after the auction started! But I get it now...

Lets stop the bidding for 24 hours and let the .5BTC guy be the lucky guy >:-)
