Topic: 🌟CLOSING SALE🌟 [DENARIUM] | Next Gen Physical Bitcoins 🌟CLOSING SOON🌟 - page 22. (Read 56311 times)

Alright guys, you're in for a treat. We have decided to start a January Sale with a 25% discount on everything!

Use discount code "january25" in the shopping cart to enable the discount.

You can order from https://denarium.com/.

Discount is applied to the physical coins themselves and the CoinBoxes. Not applied to the bitcoin value loaded into the coins and can't be combined with our bulk discounts.

The sale is on for the whole month!

Small update. The production of the Denarium 1 BTC is a bit slower than expected due to the higher quality requirements. The current ETA is that shipping starts at the end of January. Unlikely that we would be able to ship before the last week of January. But the last week is still realistic.

And we have all other products directly in stock for quick shipping!

Don't worry, I'm not in a hurry whatsoever.

I've replied to the PM's and also we have Mitchell's email, processing is understandably slower during weekends though. Picks up during the week.

I will, but it will be hard to take good clear pictures as the coin is so damn shiny. I'll send you all the pictures I have and make more when needed once I get back home (on Wednesday).

About the shipping. We have recently added new couriers so shipping is way cheaper to many countries. We can ship brass coins with very decent prices to anywhere now. With silver coins it is still difficult because the restrictions are so strict with silver products. But for all the countries that were previously on the non-restricted list and had decent shipping for silver coins - it is now way cheaper than it used to be. The only situation where we have expensive shipping now is when it is a country on the silver restricted list and the customer is buying a silver coin.

Hello! Thanks for the feedback. The quality of the Custom coins is no better than the previous series - some coins are better than others though. We have quality control and initially your coin seems to be one that should not have passed quality control. But in order to verify this I'd ask you to send an email to store(at)denarium.com and also please take a picture of the coin without the top part of the capsule as it is very difficult for us to judge the coin's actual condition based on that picture alone.

It is likely that this is a refund case in which case we can send a new coin or do a refund. But let's handle that via email.

Generally speaking we had to rush the Custom coins a little bit due to the Christmas market but with the 1 BTC coin we are doing things differently. As it is a premium coin we are making sure the quality is good.

The group buy is hosted by ezeminer and can be found here. It also doesn't go through the UK anymore as it has the same problem as the USA. The group buy now goes through me.

Depending on which country you are in, there was a group-buy that being hosted (not sure if it still on-going or not) by a few members.  The silver coin would be shipped from Finland to UK (much cheaper shipping) and then from UK to USA / Canada since there aren't rules about shipping silver from UK to USA.  You might want to ask around.  Shipping would be painful to pay.

Sweet! If anyone knows about the group buy, PM me. I'm in.

Ah okay, that's seems like a strange rule, but I get it now. Just have to decide if I want to suck it up and pay that shipping cost for the coin. It sure does look nice...

The issue has to do with the silver in the coin.  Postal services have different rules about sending precious metals vs 'ordinary' metals to different countries.  The weight difference between a 1/10 bass coin and 1 btc silver coins is trivial.

That's strange, because I was able to order their 1/10 coins for shipping around 14 EUR. Different shipping requirement for this particular coin? Look: http://imgur.com/MBLt0SS

There is not. At least not from them directly. Some countries require them to use DHL, as their local mail service doesn't allow them to ship silver to those countries. DHL is more expensive so you have to pay more for shipping. This has been explained in this thread but I'm on my phone so it's a bit hard to find that specific post. Sorry.

I'd like to preorder the 1 BTC silver, but after putting in the shipping destination in my cart it quotes shipping price as nearly 60 EUR. Is there a cheaper shipping option I'm missing, or is this the only option?

I got my Denarium Custom Value Coin yesterday and I'm a bit bummed about it. Don't get me wrong the packaging is amazing, I like the little box you get for the coin and the design is nice. But, my coin was smudged. It looks like someone pressed their thumb on the coin and then tried to remove it, very unsuccessfully... I tried to take a picture of it as good as possible (which is pretty damn hard as the coin is so damn shiny).

Thanks for the explenation, now it is clear to me. Somehow it comes with the (brass) coins and regarding the price it is acceptable.

I do really like Denarium coins and your communication and support is excellent ! Keep this going for the future !

Hello guys!

Again, sorry about the quality issues with the Custom coins. We have investigated this more and I will give an explanation here as to why many of the coins have small marks and such.

The damage happens actually not during the minting process or the packaging/handling as they travel from the minter to us (which we initially thought) but it actually happens *before* minting. The minter receives the blank coin billets from another company and the blank coin billets already have the marks before the minting actually happens.

This is obviously concerning but it is a difficult problem to solve. The minter can cut the blank coin billets from metal plates from scratch but if that is done, the cost for the coin for us will be 3-5x. So we have a dilemma here and until we find a better solution we are going to stick with it in regards to the brass coins. We will try to find out if the coin billet manufacturer can be talked to and pressured to improve quality.

HOWEVER I confirm that the 1 BTC Silver coins are not done this way. Our minter is actually cutting the blank silver coin billets from silver plates to make sure they don't have marks like this. The added cost of this doesn't matter in this case since we have a much higher premium for those coins and we can focus more on quality.

Hopefully this explanation helps and as always we try to improve the best we can and also appreciate any & all feedback & suggestions.

My guess is the "damages" happen during the production process, probably hunderds of coins are minted and the machine making them transports them onto a big pile, from there are put in boxes or tubes...

These coins are in a capsule and only travelled from Finland to the Netherlands, no way this type of damage happened during transport. I bought over 80 coins from Smoothie, these are shipped from Hawaii to the Netherland are not damaged at all.

Anyway, I am happy with the coins, that is the most important to me 

I experienced the same.  I bought a few from a group-buy about a month ago.  The scratches and pits aren't that big of a deal but again I probably won't buy again.  It must of happened during the travel time from Finland to UK to USA to USA.   The coins are just gifts to give away.
