I may write code in exchange for bitcoins.
Yeah, these are one of the few physical BTC coins that have been counterfeited, and it's easier for the Chinese copiers to do these than Casascius coins because these don't have a security hologram like the Cas coins do; those holograms are hard to fake realistically.

NewLiberty is still active often on here, I'd be willing to bet that he didn't know coldhardca.sh/ag was down. I'm sure he'll bring it back up when he sees this.

It's back up!  Hooray.  Suddently I'm interested in this again Smiley

I'm going to see if Tyrio has any left that he's selling.

Sorry for the necro-bump, but I just ran across this thread thanks to the link in OP's signature.

I'm really wanting to know two things:

1) What URL does that QR code resolve to?  (is it still working today?)
2) Are these still for sale?

I love the idea of a silver coin that tells its value in BTC.  I've never seen anything like it and I hope that I can find one and that the links in them still work!

I believe the only way to get the Silver Bitcoin Specie nowadays is through Re-Sellers. User tyrion70 actually has both the 2013 and 2014 versions, along with the Limited Edition gold-plated Silver Bitcoin Specie (only 100 minted) for sale here on the forum. They are very nicely made coins, some of my favorite BTC and silver coins, and they look great.

Unfortunately though, there are tons of fake Silver Bitcoin Species floating around out there on eBay. You can easily spot them because they are usually listed for ~$4, are coming from China, and are almost guaranteed to be silver-plated (if even plated) instead of 1 Troy Ounce .999 Fine Silver like the real deal are. Sadly I think this fact brings down the value of the real Silver BTC Specie coins.

An example of the fakes here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2pcs-freedom-BTC-Coin-Gold-silver-Plated-Physical-Bitcoin-souvenir-coin-/271860732183?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f4c299117
These are NOT the real Silver Bitcoin Species as released by NewLiberty. No one would be selling real 1 oz .999 Silver coins for ~$5 a piece with the spot price of silver more than 3x that currently.

Yah, that's too bad.  And I zoomed in on the image of the qr on the OP and it seems it resolves to bithardcash.com/ag which doesn't seem to be up anymore.  Too bad.

I wonder if those guys would ever renew the domain or hand it off to someone who can host it (I'd host it for free if I just have to run a widget to show the price of an ounce of silver in BTC).

Looking more closely I think it was a mistake to put .25 quarter bitcoin on the front.  Since the QR code is supposed to resolve to the actual current value, putting the wrong value on the front seems weird.  Stil a cool looking coin tho.

I believe that HardBTC has some in stock for global shipping.
http://hardbtc.org/ocart/

@NewLiberty are the 2014 coins sold out through you then? You won't be making any more this year? Can you give us an overview of how much of each coin were created so far?

Cheers

This is temporary, it should be back shortly, the web host botched the DNS update when moving to their new server platform.
So much for seamless transitions.
I'm not pleased with their service.

So these are still available then? They look great and I'd love to add one to my growing physical crypto coin collection. Can anybody point me towards the retailer offering them for the best price?
You can buy them here for $18.28: Agoracommodities.
EDIT: Oh, it seems that they are sold out.

I'm not into PM market that much, but I believe for some reason many coins got extinct within the last couple of weeks. Maybe it's the low prices though that drove many people out there to reach for some more cheap coins... Wink

That is indeed a great interview. Thanks for linking me/us!

EDIT: However, I do not agree with HardBTC being a premium reseller. Their webstore is quite empty, they don't even sell tokens anymore and the 2014 Cold Hard Cash coins on there are highly overpriced. £80.00 for two of them so around €51.07 for one. The coldhardca.sh page has a price of €17 right now. I get that shipment costs a bit, but this is extreme.

These look dope and can't wait to buy some!

They are available from many retailers, and have been for quite a while.
