Great resource, many thanks Bobby & BTCC 

Hi Bobby, is it possible to know how many "Gold-plated alloy" are? And what kind of alloy refers to?

Imgur.com

Great stats to have Bobby thank you for taking the time! These production numbers were sorely needed and very much appreciated.

Yes, I'll look for some.

I'll need to upload some photos.  What's a good place to host photos for long term?

Thank you minerjones.

Good job with the maker’s list. That’s awesome.

Do you have any images of these proof/pre-production coins? I've looked but never been able to find any.

Thank you for the update.

We added this reference thread to our maker's list

Updated in OP:
- fixed formatting
- added serial numbers for 2017 chips
- added Notes section

Numbers corrected now; Please see OP.

It was my typo, however, the "105 coins" as part of the 21 x Set of 5 is already part of the 500.
So total coins here is 500.

(There was another 5 of the "Baby Five" Artists Proof, which is listed in top section, which cause me to write 505 in the first place.  Correct number is 500.)

Small typo Bobby

2016 Five Bitcoin, V Series (2-star):
- 50 mm, Titanium
- Bitcoin address printed in black, on hologram sticker
- Value: 5.0 BTC
- 500 Regular coins
- 21 Sets sold as "Set of 5" (21 full blocks; 105 coins)
Total made: 505 coins

Should that be 605 coins total ?

Great list, thank you

What the hell are you on about? Get out of here with your crap.

Notes:

- This list above was updated on November 10, 2018. (Added serial numbers of coins, where relevant.)
- All BTCC Mint coins and collectibles are always fully funded to the face value.
- All "Twins" coins and double-fundings were done in error, and were never intentionally created as such. (The serial numbers for the "Twins" coins have now been added.)
- All funding is from "fresh" coinbase bitcoins, from the Bitcoin block reward.  These are freshly mined from BTCC Pool, without any prior transactions.
- "2-star" means that the funding was before the block reward halving, in July of 2016. This was "Epoch 2", during which the block reward was 25.0 BTC.
- "3-star" means that the funding was after the block reward halving, in July of 2016. This was "Epoch 3", during which the block reward is 12.5 BTC.
- All coins and collectibles from 2015-2017 were mined before the Bitcoin Hard Fork of August 2017. This means that they all have equivalent values in BTC, BCH, BTG, BCD, etc (and all other Bitcoin forked coins). All of these pre-fork coins and collectibles have hologram stickers that are silver in color.
- All coins and collectibles mined in 2018 (post-fork) have hologram stickers that are orange in color, and only have Bitcoin BTC in them.
