Could we get a pic ? Just to show what we missed out on 😩

Got mine to day. Nice one. Thank you.

To be honest, I didn't know it could be loaded. Regret I didn't get MJ to load it.

I second that, few days holidays and bam - gone. Will be eagerly awaiting next batch too.

that was quick, when will the next batch be available?

Alright, I'm opening orders for the first 10 or so buyers @ $150 each.
Minerjones will be taking care of shipping, which will be paid separately.
Please PM me to make an order along with number requests.

These first coins should go out this week  

EDIT: 13 coins sold to 9 buyers.

That's it for now folks 

Hope to get this first batch out shortly

Can we soon buy?

$50.00 

Really? Please PM me the info.
Probably a good time to bring the price down as well.

200.200$  

Damn I should reload next time

One small remark, your new site says: "Now direct from the author, cheaper than any other distributor!"

Though I still can find it cheaper with one of my main distributors

Fair criticism is fair. This gives me an opportunity to explain the coin.

Basically, I found that there are plenty of coins with a traditional hologram out there, and this piece is meant to be more conceptual than useful. It's not really made to fit into the mold of the existing & established market, but rather to challenge and parody it by taking the very basic elements (B, year/mint/very generic circuit board/private key) and combining them into something unique. Naturally, not everyone will like that.

Casascius coins were created to make blockchain/cryptocurrency feel like normal money.
This coin was created to make 'normal money' feel like blockchain/cryptocurrency.

The INFINITY hologram symbolizes how blockchain goes on forever, is interconnected, and is mindboggling , difficult to comprehend, and virtually impossible to falsify.
It is then this interconnected jumble of never-ending, hard-to-understand connections that both 'protect' and 'conceal' value, with both the silver (physical) and private key (digital) representing that concept of value. This value is then encased between 2 sets of this 'protective layer'.

I understand if doubling up the hologram is controversial; many have come to associate high quality with some sort of symbolic image.
Instead of an image, this coin attempts to convey a concept. Most people who display a coin consider the hologram 'secondary' and display only the main 'image'. This is impossible with this coin since the hologram IS the image; the focus is the concept of the blockchain/tech, not the concept of coins/money.

Regarding security, my general view which I've mentioned here before is that new creators, unless they are institutions, will likely never get the trust that the likes of Casascius and Lealana had. Also due to legal concerns, I'm not releasing funded coins. These are meant to be art pieces as opposed to useful and secure cold-storage coins, but I do invite anyone to put 'token' amounts of BTC into them. Again, the point here is not to actually defend against 'attacks' (though those features are certainly present) but to convey the idea and concept of doing so both at the level of the individual coin and the blockchain as a whole.

Casascius coins were primarily coins; the hologram was added as a 'necessary' security feature to the coin.
This 'coin' is built around the hologram; the coin was added as a 'necessary' platform to host and affix it.

With all that said, the beauty and meaning are in the eye of the beholder, and this is one of those things that is going to mesmerize some and disappoint others. To those who are disappointed, I hope you will appreciate that everyone has different tastes. I'm sure there are and will be other coins that you love.

Appears you may be right and get the discount of $14.

I assumed I did the math right as I got the same thing as Jan....

$195?!

Please tell me that's a typo.

$95 and I'd still be unhappy.

For $195 I'm assuming the book comes with it right?
If not, then I believe Elias hasn't paid as much attention to the Crypto Coin Collecting scene as I'd thought.

I think Jan is right with the answer of $195.... I myself can not justify that price for 1 oz of silver and a cool hologram.  

First, the design is already on ebay:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/132448769338

Just add a ring of binary and a hologram

Second, the front is a circle of catch phrases, advertising for the mint and a sticker essentially.  Don't get me wrong the hologram is cool, but unfortunately at that price....

Hard Pass!!

Bummer TBH as I thought you would dazzled, instead you started with the design of a coin I won in a Krog freebie raffle.
