has anyone tested whether xray scanners or any type of scanners can get the pk's from an engraved coin?
That’s a good point. I actually may have a way to test this. I’ll work on it and get back with youThe original 1oz NastyFans Minted Seats included an aluminum insert behind an insulation layer to keep from any unforeseen reaction over time with the silver while making it difficult to use any sort of xray scanner to compromise the private key. This ultimately was too much additional effort for me to continue doing at the price point and nobody seemed to care either way, but somewhere close to 100 of them were made this way and have homes in the collections of some of the earliest physical crypto collectors. It is still possible for me to make them this way and they're somewhat easily identifiable by a bump under the center of the hologram (pictured below)...
Anybody know where I can get one of these? I’m curious to see if I can take a crack at them. Have a few ideas between X-ray & thermal imaging.
You might need to find somebody who was actively collecting physical Bitcoin collectibles in 2013 in order to get your hands on one. I have a few in my safe deposit box, but I suspect the price I'd want would be considered outrageous. If you wanted to make an offer via PM, I could check around with some old timers and the NastyFans Slack group to see if anyone wants to sell. After 9 years in someone's collection though, I suspect it may be more difficult than expected to get your hands on one.
However, if you want one without the xray blocking insert to see if you can compromise it, you can still buy them here: https://nastyfans.org/mint

Which serial numbers/pub keys had these, from the original 100? or if not the original first batch of 100 etc

probably easier to search for one to test with, if you have that info.Im sure between most of the older members here we can find one to help the communinty test with?
thanks!
