Figured you would have, always worth a check though.

If you could get a COA that's formally issued by Berkley, that would be cool.... but probably a big ask

I'm thinking old school looking. Coats of arms / red wax seal, and signed by one of the Deans or something. Contrast the new of the coin / currency with the history of the establishment

I think I can make all of that happen. I'll keep you all posted. Thanks for the amazing idea Grin

If you could pull this off properly, that would be amazing. I think that could make this coin rather unique as it has never been done before (CoA signed by e.g. Deans). I'm most certain that most of the collectors are in favor of a CoA. Are you sure you want only 20 coins sold here? You may want to create an list of interested people.

It looks like the others don't realize that they should not be reserving numbers any numbers yet.

Thank you for the support! It's looking like we will be able to have one of these displayed in the glass case in the computer science building. It will be pretty cool seeing a piece of crypto history displayed for all to see on campus!

We have decided to go with Northwest Territorial Mint. It isn't the cheapest option but I believe it is by far the best for the price. They are known for exceptional quality which only seems right for this exceptional coin.

I will keep you all posted on progress made. Thank you all for your interest. I will worry about properly distributing these to interested buyers once they are complete. Right now I'm focusing on making sure these coins are perfect.

Is that other eod coin on the back burner. Is that still a possibility of coming to fruition?

It's definitely on the back burner but right now school and Blockchain at Berkeley are the priority. I tested it with generic holos and different wire/thread and wasn't very happy with the results. It's a complex mechanism for redemption that I want to get right before moving forward. Thanks again for sending me your test coin Grin

I'm interested, lucky #13, or any low serial, in Silver would be great.

#7 please.

I don't have any preference for the metal. Anything would do for me. Same is the case for the holograms. I'm okay with anything, except the number. I would only prefer #7.

Hey EOD. I would be interested in one, also happy to run a group buy for anyone EU / UK based, if that would help when the time comes

Auctions for low numbers would be better for your botom line, will also allow you to understand market value, plus break even point for the rest of the coins

Mints. I would reach out to other makers. OgNasty may be your best mainland US bet, as he has recently done a lot of activity.

North West Territory seems to be the de facto, IIRC, but there will be other options. A lot will depend on the mint run size. I am sure costs and quality will vary significantly

Do not underestimate the costs of your dies. They are more expensive for silver, but if you can do silver, do so (just higher upfront costs)

bigtimespaghetti did a book on how to make coins. It would be worth reading, if you havnt already. If you cant get the book (or ebook ?), then shout up, and I will send you mine

Also .... is this coin formally sanctioned by Berkeley ? It would make an interesting COA if it could be, and an interesting first as far as the tie up to an esteemed educational establishment

Best of luck getting this over the line

Thank you for all of the info! Depending on how sales go a group buy may be the best way to go, I appreciate the offer!

NWT is one of the first mints I contacted for a quote actually. Purchasing bigtimespaghetti's book was one of my first transactions on the forum

The coin is formally sanctioned by Blockchain at Berkeley and we are a formally sanctioned organization on campus. The organization is comprised entirely of students at UC Berkeley (almost 100 students currently) and our club teaches a course that can be taken for credits toward a degree. A link to the Cryptocurrency course can be seen here (link is from last semester, Spring semester is not populated yet): http://www.decal.org/courses/4132

If there is interest we could create a COA that is signed by the founding members of the club? Not sure what would be of most interest but I am definitely open to ideas. We have a lot of ties on campus so I'll try to brainstorm something interesting but please feel free to offer suggestions or ask any questions about the organization that you may have.

Interesting idea, curious to see how it develops.

I also think auction for the first 10/20 would be best.

Why all of you want lowest number?

I understand the benefits of auctions (especially for lower numbers) but I would ask that you also provide a straight buy-it-now option as well for those with short pockets. I, for one, would be much more interested in the latter, regardless of the serial number.

I will send you a PM, thanks!

Thank you! This is just an interest check thread. Once I get official quotes from a mint (I'm researching silver mints now) and begin production I will create a fair way to decide who gets what #'s if multiple people want the same coin.

I believe that one of the fairest methods for distributing the lowest numbers are auctions as opposed to 'first-come-first-serve' (which is basically luck, unless one knows when the reservations will begin / thread will be made).

If anyone has any info on a reputable silver mint please PM their info. I am looking for one that does quality work.

Just please make sure to properly plan this out (e.g. generic vs. custom hologram), so we don't end up with yet another coin with an absurd 5-10x premium on spot silver.

All great suggestions and I will definitely take them into account, thank you. I will keep the entire process as transparent as possible.

#2 or lowest available, conditional on checking out www.friendsofsatoshi.com and possibly discussing ways to collaborate between our groups Wink

Edit to say .999 silver , custom holo, design is terrific

PM me, we are always looking for ways to help and collaborate with members of the crypto community! Grin
