Topic: ► ► ► ฿฿฿ LEALANA PHYSICAL BITCOINS - 999 FINE SILVER & GOLD PLATED COINS! ฿฿฿ (Read 16381 times)

I have suspended sales to get clarification on how I can move forward within the current regulatory system regarding "money transmitting" as FinCEN puts it.

Although I disagree on their definition of what "money transmitting" is and isn't concerning Bitcoin/Litecoin, I have taken the cautious route and am getting further clarification on how to proceed.

It's too bad they're suspended. Good luck in the future :/

i think i am blind. is it because of the counterfeits? i don't see any real statement in his litecoin selling thread. :/

Check Smoothie's LTC thread for the answer.

why? casascius no.2?

Hey! These are beautiful coins my friend.

Can we make a deal for 2 each of the 0.1s, 0.25s and 0.5s?

Thanks!
Sam

a 5 or 10 BTC gold plated bar of some kind would be epic!

100LTC Bar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is it somewhat related to what I suggested?

I have one product that I have delayed the release of given how busy I have been. It will be released eventually. They are in my possession but it is just a timing issue.

Hey,

Just wanted to say thanks for the two coins I ordered and got delivered last week!

Very nice.
Do you plan to make any new bitcoin products?
I would love to get some bitcoin goldbar kind of collectible, Would be awesome!

True. Copying is the sincerest form of flattery. I guess in that case my copying Mike's concept works the same way.  No shame here. Very thankful for what Mike has done.

Gotcha. 

This was more for your other supporters, I knew you were well on top of it. I'm indicating them as well when I notice them, but don't use eBay much. 

Smoothie... In a way it is a compliment to you.  These fakes are going to hurt all the physicals in the long run unfortanitly.

I'm very well aware of this. The Litecoin copies I've reported. Of course I can't always keep a count of them but I have done the ones I've come across.

Thanks.

If you see any of the fake ones on eBay, you can click on the report this item link:
The current eBay Coins policy is to remove replica coin listings and relistings from eBay.com. eBay defines replica coins as a copy or reproduction of an actual coin, including U.S., foreign and other historic coins. This update better reflects standards across the coin industry, and helps ensure compliance with applicable laws that require replica coins to be permanently marked with the word, "copy."

Also note that the COA includes the full wallet address so it's pretty easy to verify the balance of the coins using that. 

They ship unloaded and once it is confirmed received by the buyer, the coins are then funded.

Are the coins loaded or all unloaded?

I'm glad you were able to confirm funding and find the address via first bits.

i found it on blockexplorer. but yea blockchain doesn't work.

I honestly do not know. I've had the same issue happen to me on block-explorer.com for LTC coins yet first bits for those coins work on explorer.litecoin.net.

PM me or email me and I'll send you the full addresses so you don't need to type them in.

how do i check the amount of btc in my coins? when i type in blockchain.info it says "Firstbits not found"

Yeah, I don't plan to resell them for a very long time, if ever.

Also, I'm very happy that the highest graded coin was the premier coin of the set.

Hanging on tight to them? 

I had my set professionally graded and slabbed.  They all came in between MS 64 and 66, what I would consider typical uncirculated grades for bullion production coins.



I love that ANACS grades physical BTC and LTC.  As far as I know no other coin grading service will accept them.

Just ordered two coins and paid, very excited to get this in house

I'm getting around to this. It's been quite a busy season for me. I'll likely post a list in the next several weeks. No promises on the timeframe. Stay tuned. I'll post a link here when the list is compiled.

Can you post a list of the public addresses? 

If you want to buy, follow the directions and send him a PM with what you want and shipping details!

i want to buy some please contact me if you are still up for sale

Hi i want to buy please pm me your Skype..

Hey Smoothie I want to purchase item #2.  Where do i send the BTC?

Holy Crap! I want a set and a few of the single's, or maybe two set's.

So Sexy and awesome prices bud!

Will order next month!

Gloriousness received.

*gold

Do you have solid 1 oz BTC coins?

recieved my gold 1btc's.

so pretty.

Those are beautiful Noah ! When I'll have some spare cash, I'll order them for sure !

I think these look very nice. I don't have the BTC to pony up for them atm, but wanted to say I love them.

Just PM'd you my order! Looking forward to getting these coins!

The release should be next week after I return from the conference. They will show "2013" on them and will use a similar hologram to the BTC gold plated silver coins. Of course they will differ a bit to identify what holograms go with what coins.

In time for Christmas?

Anyone who ordered a 4-coin set should have it go out late next week or early the following week depending upon when you placed your order.

I'll be at the Inside Bitcoins conference in Vegas this coming week. I'll have a few coins on hand for any people who want to purchase them in person. 

Mike,

After watching your practices and purchasing coins from you I have devised a similar mechanism for tracking coin types. I have not improved upon your mechanism but merely mimic it for the time being.

For example my newer coins start with addresses as follows:

1 LTC BRASS starts with LTC1, LTC2, LTC3... except for the "5" and "X" prefixes.

5 LTC 1/4 oz silver starts with LTC51, LTC52, LTC53...

10 LTC (except the original batch) starts with LTCX1, LTCX2, LTCX3...



0.25 BTC 1/2 oz silver starts with 1BTC1, 1BTC2, 1BTC3...

0.5 BTC 1 oz silver starts with 1BTCz, 1BTCy, 1BTCx...

These last two coins I took a central point of the vanity list:

0.1 BTC 1/4 oz silver starts with 1BTCm, 1BTCl, 1BTCk...

1.0 BTC 1 oz silver gold plated are 1BTCn, 1BTCo, 1BTCp...

New: I am going to be releasing shortly a Bitcoin brass coin with 0.1 BTC denomination which starts with 1Btc1, 1Btc2, 1Btc3...


Note: about 50% of the time the batches overlap but I try to keep an updated list of addresses I have used so that when I go to cut more keys with my epilog laser (as you do) I know what address for that coin type I used last as they are all sorted alphanumerically.

My first 1/2 oz and 1 oz Litecoin runs do not use any vanity in the addresses.

It gets confusing with so many different types and sizes of coins. So this mechanism helps to identify if I am using the correct address when generating certificates or funding the coins as well as inventory.

I have not published an up to date list of coins addresses yet, but I will sometime in the future when I get an open moment to do so (as I am sure Mike you are also slammed with orders despite disabling your site from taking orders). The list will consist of set #'s, serial #'s, addresses etc. It will be a quite complex list (perhaps I overcomplicated things in producing my coins).

But anyway, thanks again Mike for sharing. Very much appreciated.

Aloha

Very welcome. They should be funded in the next day or so. 

Beautiful. Thank you Smoothie.

You're taking Casascius up on his invitation for competition, and blow Recalescence and Titan out of the water.

I received a 1 LTC piece, a 5 LTC, and some .25 BTC and .5 BTC pieces yesterday and they all look great, but I have to say the BTC coins are really more striking in person than pictures can convey. The intricate background design appears frosted against the glossy silver background, and it's just stunning. These would make amazing gifts, as they are simply beautiful to look at -- even aside from their worth. Great work, smoothie!

And even though pictures don't do them justice, here's a picture.

Nope, not offended. To each his own opinion.

I guess I could say the same thing about Latin lettering on any coin, it doesn't relate to me. Most of our legal tender coins in the U.S. have this. But do I care that it has latin written on it? Not really, yet I think the coin artwork is awesome.

Sure it is. For Hawaiians. I'm Scandinavian.
I use btc but cannot relate in any - for me - feasible way to that text.
But ofcourse this is personal. I'm not judging, trying to give feedback to the one who made the tremendeous job in minting a physical bitcoin. I have heard that feedback is appreciated among producers. If it doesn fit and the maker is offended, I am sorry.

That is all.

My goal wasn't to make it "fit" on the coin. I was trying to be original. I'm from Hawaii so for me it is fitting that a Hawaiian themed physical bitcoin be created, especially since I am part Native Hawaiian (i.e. Kanaka Maoli)

For me the finish looks better than Casascius, but I don't think Hawaiian text fits at all on the worlds first truly planetwide currency. I'm so on the fence. Why don't you seller PM me if you want to nudge towards a sell.

The 1 oz silver coins are 39mm diameter.

1/2 oz silver coins are 30mm diameter.

1/4 oz silver coins are 25mm diameter.

Brass coins are ~30 mm (just shy of 30mm).

Hello smoothie,

Is the diameter 30mm for your 1 Troy Oz coins containing 25LTC ?
What is the diameter for your 1 Litecoin Nickel-plated Brass coins ? Are these coins still with the original LEALANA holograms ?

I'm really interested by those and will surely order some for Christmas.

As always, mahalo!

Happy Holidays!

Just ordered the 4 coin set, plus an extra 0.1 silver coin.  Can't wait to get them!

Ooooh, I see. Of course! Damn, I can be really stupid sometimes.

You're getting 1+0.5+0.25+0.1 coins

But that wasn't the reason for my question. It looks to me like you are selling 4 loaded 1BTC coins for 2.4BTC. I must have misinterpreted it, right?

Yes. PM me if you want to buy the 4-coin set. 

Are you sure that price is correct?

Updated prices in the OP.

 

Prices have not been updated due to how busy I've been.

If you want current prices just PM me.

over 0.8btc international shipping on your site for a 0.3btc coin? Can you appreciate how much that is?

Your opinion was noted.

My purpose was not to one up Casascius, just to be HONEST. 

I don't mean to be rude but I HAVE to be honest.

These look kinda lame and boring.  They are no different than Casascius' coins.  Infact his look better.  You just have a similar design and all that pops is that sticker.  The detailed work also looks boring.

You have to one up Casascius and show him what a REAL coin is.  Perhaps you can work with a material scientist and chemical engineers to refine your metals to give them a very cool and signature characteristic.  Also how about intertwining other metals and instead of a sticker to achieve that brilliance that everyone loves, how about you alter the chemistry to achieve that across the entire coin?  You know? Something that would BLOW YOU AWAY.  If I were to invest my time in something like this, I would deliver something out of the world. And you should do the same. Mind blowing work will sell like pancakes with a side of bitcoins.

For example, I am so psyco about one upping everyone that I bugged the US mint to figure out how they embedded that blue strip in the new $100 USD bills with the holographic effect. That is super cool.  I plan on having some very very very fancy and unusual business cards made for our startup that when you hand to someone, they will show all their friends because they just never saw anything so cool and new.  I'm sure anyone that saw the new Benjamin bill knows what I'm talking about.  It's super cool... but not cool enough! Anyway, it's also a marketing strategy and a work of art.

There. I had to speak my mind.

Any ideas on shipping to Toronto?


Thanks, I look forward to ordering

PM me for prices. I have not had a chance to update prices as they have been constantly moving (and still are).

Let me know what you would like to buy and I'll quote you a price.

 

Is it really BTC0.2 to ship these? $160 dollars

These are amazing looking coins, good job !

wow they sure are pretty!  if bfl ever pulls through maybe one day lol..

No worries dude Could you send me a PM when you have a unloaded coin + the price? Because, well, I am interested in buying one.

Perhaps I will create a 0 denomination Bitcoin bar or coin (hologram pair) for this purpose of one-off requests of unloaded or custom loaded amounts of bitcoin.

I simply have not gotten around to something like this as of yet.

Hm, I see. Alright then.

I have no plans to sell them not loaded.

Yes they are. PM me your order. 

How much for a non loaded one?

hey smoothie, are these available now for shipping?

PM sent! Cheers buddy!

The price for the 2nd coin says 1/2 troy ounce. Shouldn't that be 1 troy ounce?

Good eye. Change made. Copy-paste kills.

 

Dob,

Perhaps we can arrange a donation of one of each coin to the museum.

Let's discuss.

Aloha 

That is one sexy coin!

Updated prices due to recent price jump in Bitcoin.

When do you plan on ordering one? 

Not a bad idea to at least try i suppose, i'll get a thread up to see if there is interest.

Replied. Thanks! 

You doing a group buy mate?

Nice, smoothie!  Sent you a PM.

Will you give me serial number 1 if i order now?

Good catch. I made the proper adjustments for the discount of 20 of the 0.5 BTC coins.

Thanks for pointing that out. I must have overlooked it.

Your bulk pricing for the 0.5s works out the same as buying 20 singles. Is that right?

Registered mail via USPS along with all of the packaging that goes into the coins: capsules, coa, leatherettes etc.

Also shipping is static no matter how many coins you purchase.

The coins look good. Just wondering why your shipping prices are so high. I recently ordered coins and the international shipping cost me 0.1 BTC.
