Damn, this is an amazing looking coin. Well done dude!

Thanks, It was the first of the 10 piece collection for 2015. The new owner of this coin just bought a second one from the collection as well. 4 have been made so far, #5 is in process right now and was commissioned by a forum member to be custom designed for them. There will only be 5 more made for the 2015 year, meaning the minute #10 is sold, the value on all of them will pretty much double as no amount of money will get me to make another one for the 2015 year and anyone who is holding one at the moment knows they cannot be forged or faked.

I have really enjoyed working with the Bitcoin Community, some of the best clients i have had in 20 years have come from here. I will be releasing a new project/collection that is not coins sometime in February as well for the Bitcoin Community.

Here are some pics of the back with it's new address and BIP38 encrypted private key.

Is that QR code scannable or is it just there?

Hi,

It is difficult to scan but it should read 6PRTW7Z9NrNKxJ3aDX6yDMyJFhGpoz8XPRwxPz2f9gLSiPposFeg47f9xm.

Really nice artwork. I was planning to start with woodworking at one point, but gave up since I didnt have the resources. I still have some old videos(digital), incase you would like some. Would be happy to send them to you(free of charge ofcourse, I really appreciate your work). Even though I doubt you will need it Wink

Thanks for the explanation!

Any time IronMarvel, I forget sometimes that not everyone eats, sleeps, breathes, shits, shaves, shines, and showers wood like i do and that i should give more explanation on things when i post about them. Sorry for making you have to ask in the first place. I should have posted more info about it originally.

One question, since iam bidding on your auction. Grin

Is it slightly broken? Looks like it on the pics. Under the 2015.

It's the grain, In order to cure Purpleheart against oxidation (it ensures this hunk of wood will still look exactly the same in 10,000 years) you have to bake it in the oven at 450 degrees F for one hour. It causes the entire piece to expand and widens the grain, some of the highly resinous grain tears. As it cools the grain resumes its normal size the highly resinous grain fills back in with the natural resin in the wood.

Forgive the crappy cell phone picture but you can see that the tear which looked big in the original photos is now under the size of a strand of hair, and over the next week or two as the wood settles you will not even see it. As you can also see, the wood is starting to age and it is starting to turn its crown royal purple color already too. Much more beautiful than the original photos when it was fresh out of the oven.

Someone who was in my gallery today offered me $2,000usd for Mazuma and they dont even know what Bitcoin is. Sadly i had to tell them it was not for sale in the gallery and if they wanted to buy it they would have to bid on the auction on Bitcointalk.org. They looked at me like i was insane (which is fine, i'm an artist and were all a little crazy and eccentric) and bought something else

Can we please refrain from hijacking the thread over a lousy attempt at trolling. the Nazi can start his own thread about whatever it is he hopes to accomplish.

Thanks.

I wish I had the money to buy these. These are beautiful Very well done

Thanks Finlon, i appreciate the kind words. I can make you something smaller out of a less expensive wood if you would like. Something a little more within your budget if you have a target price.
