Hello All

Following the discussion regarding antiquing and what difference it makes to the coins I have today taken these images before and after shots

Please excuse my lack of photography skills

As you can see the antique effect brings out the details.

I rather look at it as a limited edition fine silver coin with a wallet and private key concealed inside. It's more about the art in my opinion.

The main reason for buying physical bitcoins is if your a collector and or if you plan on reselling the coins in the future.

Most of our customers have purchased single coins. There have been customers who return to buy additional coins and quite a few have purchased multiple coins like 5 or 10 at a time.

So basically it's a paper wallet made by silver, right?

Yes, but it can be traded because nobody knows the private key until it is opened.

Hello.

The original coin images where based on computer generated images and CAD drawings we received from the mint during the initial phase of manufacture relief images are made showing the detail and lettering of the coin.

The antiquing process is actually done by hand it gives an aged look to the coin and brings out fine definition in the hair and lettering.

The coins we showed during the initial phase and launch date where changed as soon as we recived the final coins.

In our second batch of coins we made some changes to buff the edges making them smoother. The coin manufacture process requires the coin to be struck 3 times to get the detail from the hair and beard.

The coins are then buffed to smooth out the edges (this was not done on the initial batch but has since been implemented) the coin is then washed and antiqued each coin is slightly different as the antique process is done by hand the images I posted are from a real coin from the first batch.

The coin you see here posted on this tread is a actual customers coin.

The effect is called an "antique" finish, and it is popular because it gives the coin's strike more depth. I prefer pure silver, but I don't mind it as much as painted or colorized silver coins.

Just checked back on the website for the status of this project and it looks like the images were all switched to an updated "final version".  Luckily when I saw this coin I thought it was really cool and I saved the pictures I found or else I may have never been able to make this comparison.  I recompiled them into a before and after in case users are unsure what I am referencing with the coins design/depth changing.  One was sold as a pre-order and the other is the final release.   Wink

original final - original final

I'm not sure if manufacturing tolerances came into play right before the actual production of coins but the original images looked way better IMO and I was thinking about making a purchase based off the original images.

Don't get me wrong, I still think the coin/packaging is a work of art but I believe the price point was more suitable (especially with the $100 increase that's coming) for the previous coin that was replaced.



If Mandy from Infinitum could chime in here that would be greatly appreciated as I was unable to find a notice on the site as to why the design in the pre-order state was quite different from the final state.   Smiley

Interesting, "Expected delivery is between 5 to 7 working days for customers who pay via Bitcoin we have the capacity to ship over one hundred coins per day."

How long ago were the orders placed?

I believe May 25 was the first day, and when I ordered.


Same here.  It's strange because I couldn't recall specifically where I first heard about it and just figured it was on here but I did a few quick searches and I think this thread is the only mention of it anywhere on BCT.  I usually vet stuff more thoroughly than I did in this case, hence the thread.  I'll be sure to update when it arrives.



Agreed.

These guys were stealth, because I usually find out about all physical bitcoins on this forum.  I happened to find them through google searches.

Yeah, the holo looks really well designed and the antiqued look is great.  Does anyone know what size air-tite would fit these coins?

The coin has a diameter of 50 mm, so a Y65 capsule with a Y50 ring  is what you need. http://www.air-tites.com/coin_size_chart.htm

Thanks, sounds like yours should be arriving this week I would think.  Did the seller provide tracking or is no update on the shipment provided?

I think the coin looks really good and am looking forward to someone receiving one and posting pictures.  Smiley

No shipping info.  Just a generic order placed email.  The coins looks really nice. 

It has a deep relief and 2oz antiqued Silver like an Alitin but has a holo.
