I'm very surprised how cheap the coins are being sold at if they are in fact dipped completely in 24k gold.

Shocked

I stand under correction but I don't think they were completely dipped in melted gold as such but rather a solution with gold ions, which then gets deposited on the coin because of the cathode/anode thing.

Dipping in pure melted gold is expensive, and at least to my knowledge somewhat uncommon.

Thanks for helping us clarify this.
The coins were plated using a common process known as electroplating. This process uses electrolysis to deposit ions suspended in a solution on the coin (as explained above).
There are some pretty good descriptions online about how electroplating works, but if you have any more questions, please feel free to post here or send us a message.

Thanks

can you be more specific on the "GOLD PLATING" part?

Is it the entire coin that is gold plated?

If so, what purity of gold?

The entire coin was dipped and is gold plated.
To be completely honest, we paid out supplier for 24k gold plating, however, we didn't have any way to test this, so we didn't want to specify 24k without having any proof of this.

If someone knows of a why in which this can be tested, we'd gladly listen or even send a sample to a trusted member who can test it out.

Thanks

Is that a 1cm depression for the private key? It looks like the guide here http://cryptoimperator.com/en/diy-guide/ would work for these coins as well. I would just add that it is much easier to use masking tape to pick up and position the hologram.

That is a 12mm recessed area for the private key insert. The guide you have linked above will work for our coins, although we are working on our own guide which we'll post in this thread.
Any circular insert up to 12mm in diameter will fit in our coin.

Thanks for the helpful link and advice

If anyone in the USA wants to split a 10 pack let me know. I am willing to do a small group order if enough are interested.

Can I still get in on the order??

I think we need at least 20. I am in for 5.

I'm in for 5 as well. Cheesy

Great. A few more people in the USA wanting to join the groupbuy and we can order. I am waiting on a shipping quote. PM me if you want in on a small USA groupbuy. If Blazedout419 is still offering organize a small group buy, then I am happy to hand this back over to him. I am in for 5 unless we need a few more for a bigger discount. Otherwise, let's try to wrap this up in the next day or so.

You can handle it..I want a few myself. Put me down for 3 of them please.

Sounds good. I have you down for 3. Anyone else interested PM me.

Edit: I will start a separate thread for the USA groupbuy. There are about 15 coins left if anyone wants to join.

Edit2: Order has been placed. There are still 15 coins up for grabs for USA/Canada buyers who want to save on shipping. You pay for shipping within USA/Canada plus a flat rate per coin. PM me for details. If there are any left over after the holiday weekend, I will create a thread for the groupbuy. Escrow always accepted.

FYI the shipping does not work right for USA.

What do you mean? Please explain and we will try and get this sorted as soon as we can.

Here is what I get when I go through the checkout. 20 rounds should not cost 0.7492002 (roughly 172USD) for shipping. It should be more like 20USD.

Seller: SHIBANU LTD
Product: SHIBANU 50K Physical Dogecoin Delivery type: Shippable Quantity: 20 Price per unit: 0.07932708BTC Price: 1.58654160BTC

Royal Mail (Regular Shipping (up to 5 coins))
0.74920020BTC
Total: 2.33574180BTC

Thanks for pointing that out. We noticed that earlier and are trying to find ways of sorting it out. The reason why you see it costing that mix is because it is charging you for delivery for each coin.
I'll post an update once that is fixed.
In the meantime, if anyone wants to make an order, we can sort something out via PM.

Thanks

~~~SPECIAL OFFER~~~

Every order of 5 coins receives one SHIBANU first edition prototype coin. These coins were part of a first batch of prototype coins. Since then, the SHIBANU Dogecoin has been re-designed and has undergone a few changes. These coins are numbered from 001-100 and were not originally planned on being released. We are giving the, away FREE to for every 5 coins ordered in one purchase...

Looks like the only numbered coins are prototype coins #1-100 and are free when 5 standard coins are purchased (1 free for 5 original purchased).

Shame the originals aren't numbered, I prefer numbered coins

.

Thanks for explaining.
As Hedgy pointed out, only the prototype coins are numbered.
We considered numbering the coins but decided against it for multiple reasons.

Sorry about that.

I'd be interested, but really only want one coin myself (and maybe one of the first gen coins). Still wanted to voice my interest.
