The pleasure was all mine,

I am almost done with your second coin, and will be starting on the third by Saturday i believe  Grin You should have two more heading your way by the end of the month !!

Looks like IronMarvel's account was hacked. You might want to be careful if any change of shipping addresses etc is requested.

Right now about 2-3 months to get one done if you order one today, i have a few i am working on for clients now that have a very high level of detail involved so they are going to take a while to carve. I am only making 10 coins for the 2015 year and coins 1-8 are already spoken for so once 2 more people commission a coin, i will be making no more this year.

Wow that looks incredible. I wonder if these will be a good investment like the Cassicius coins? I imagine these will be a lot harder to counterfeit  Cheesy. Are you numbering them at all?

The come with a certificate of authenticity which uses Bitcoin technology to ensure they cannot be counterfeit. Each CoA bears a bitcoin address on the front and is accompanied by the private key for that address on the reverse. Also every coin sold thus far has had an address carved in the reverse side of the coin. The chances of someone being able to forge my work are also very limited in the coin itself as every coin has a very different and unique "hidden mark" that not even the owners of the coin know about unless they are going over the coin with a 10x magnifier glass and a few more tricks i am not revealing they will never find. Not to mention there is an archived photo of every art piece i make, and unlike metal, wood has grain, and the chances of finding two pieces of wood with the exact same grain patterns is worse than your chances of brute forcing a bitcoin address.

At a gallery event i went to in 2007, one of the worlds top Dendrologists who was speaking said the odds were 2^1024 over a 100,000 year period. So needless to say even if the CoA could be forged the art piece could never be.

As for an investment, I am an artist not a financial adviser so i would not be the one to speculate on that. Although i can tell you that in 20 years i have never had a client let go of anything they have bought from me for any less than 2x the money they invested in the piece to begin with. I do not know if that will hold true with the bitcoin art i have been doing, but its a reference point to say the least. To be honest, i do not think that anyone who has bought my bitcoin art will ever be selling it, i actually had one client from here tell me he was adding the art piece to his living will that it is to be buried with him when he dies. With its $19,000usd i would probably want to be buried with it too  Grin

This is awesome! Do you plan on making small standard coins?

Very doubtful. I am only making 10 Coins for the 2015 year and have 4 finished and sold, and 3 more i am currently working on that were commissioned by forum members which means there is only 3 left to be commissioned and there will be no more this year.

"königlich"
Commissioned by and sold to: IronMarvel








Material: F1 grade Iroko
Price: 2.5BTC
Commissioned By: IronMarvel
Coin: 3 of 10 to be made for the 2015 year

Inspired by early era German coinage, "königlich" represents all things royal, financial, and commanding. Carved from a gorgeous specimen of "First" grade Iroko then accented with the slow burning of a torch, königlich is attention grabbing in any setting.

königlich is the 3rd of only 10 physical Bitcoins i am carving this year and will be right at home in Germany with IronMarvel.

This coin is not for sale, This thread is only to show that it was commissioned and purchased by IronMarvel and that he is the original owner.
