UPDATE:

25 Jan 2015: It has been a pleasure serving all of you as customers, but I've decided to move on; Ravenbit will not be releasing any new coins and has ceased all operations. Thank you for the support over the past 2 years and I wish all of you the best!

I'm going to be locking this thread in the near future; all of the coin info in the OP should be up to date.

Oh man....
Well, thank you for the great coins and I hope all will be well in your future ventures!!!

Thanks,

New addition to the/my Ravenbit Rarity group (non-official Wink

)

It is a hybrid Ravenbit-Papersafe Brass "R" coin. Originally owned by digicoinuser who was the first owner. Made for him by BG4 of papersafe.org fame!! Cheesy

Enjoy!!

(There is a Raven hologram over the papersafe safe. Looks great in the right light. I will see if I can get a sweet pic...)

Tom, any update on this or at least a link to the NODE addresses for people who need to access the public key for their purchased coins?

Here's for the 216 brass ones:

True, it looks like the site is down or some maintenance is being performed.

Perhaps in preparation for ~~Gozer the Gozerian~~, I mean the new coin!! Cheesy

The address list for the brass and bronze is missing.
I need access to this for a customer, please Cheesy

Dang, I was thinking the site was under renovation for a new coin.

It's sad to hear as I was under the impression the coins were doing well but in any circumstance I'd say thanks for all the hard work you put into Ravenbit and good luck with future endeavors.

I was always wondering if the "A"s came from the original stock.....and now we know!!!!
that's a whole lotta' carbon spotting considering this was half the original stock.
Were these originally set aside and not sold?? or are there some floating around out there??

Most were set aside and I've spent considerable time examining and re-examining them; adding and subtracting here and there. It's been unnecessarily time consuming and it is unlikely I'll make a brass coin without a finish on it (like the bronze) again. The issue is not exclusive to this mint. There are definitely coins floating around with some carbon spotting, but unlikely to be as severe as the coins slotted for destruction. The exception is the 50 L.E.'s which I reluctantly sold regardless of condition (I know that you have some of the L.E.'s with the spotting). I'm guessing most people don't even notice the carbon spotting, but it was driving me nuts.

Quote from: ?? on ??

Were the LEs part of the initial batch and just stamped differently??
It would make sense and add up to around 1000 brass coins minted for you Wink

Yes, 1000 coins minted (not including samples). 50 of the coins were stamped 01 to 50 by the mint. ~275 of the coins were hand stamped "R" by myself and 216 of the coins were hand stamped "A" by myself.

Quote from: ?? on ??

Wow.....between these and the Satoshi coins, I would get your $$ back. LOL Cheesy

Thanks

The mint made me whole (plus some) both times. I've had no issues with the copper or the silver coins I've minted with them.

UPDATE:

28 Dec 2015: There are now 12 Node Brass (series 2.0) remaining for sale, out of a mintage of approximately 275. This is a revision downward from an original mintage of approximately 950; good news for those of you who already own a Node Brass. The revision can be accounted for as follows: 216 used for Node Brass "A" (series 2.0.2); 462 with severe carbon spotting scheduled for destruction. These numbers are not final and are subject to slight revision.

Nice! Almost as impressive as my collection Cheesy

Good luck getting those last two bronze-AT's.

p.s. - The "zero set" isn't really "a thing", unless I guess if you guys insist on it being "a thing"

Not a thing, but a nice "subset" of the Satoshis for those into numerical collecting of cryptos.
I know people (myself included) try for certain numbers if available from manufacturers.
For some, it holds meaning. For others, might just be a random. Grin

Excellent point, I agree.

Quote from: ?? on ??

I have a couple questions, since this is the Ravenbit-Reference-Thread (RRT):
(note: these are being asked after reading most/all of the forum pages involving trades/sales/auctions of the Ravenbit coins)

Absolutely, I encourage any and all questions to be asked in this thread.

What happened to Satoshi coins that were being auctioned here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ravenbit-satoshi-coins-5-and-new-node-coin-auction-ends-wednesday-791861

4 were sold after the completion of the auction and 1 was kept in personal collection.

What happened to coin #9 & #69 that were auctioned here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/auction-coin-9-69-ravenbit-physical-bitcoin-ends-may-4-11pm-est-588389

Sold to a buyer who contacted me after the completion of the auction.

Quote from: ?? on ??

What happened to 4 Satoshi sample coins
https://ravenbit.com/2014/08/31/satoshi-mintage/

They were never for sale and I still have possession of them. I list them in the mintage for the sake of transparency and thoroughness. The samples do not have serial numbers and 2 of the 4 are partially "frosted" on the obverse. When I get a chance, I'll post a pic.

Row 5: Node Bronze-AT (5 of 7) & Satoshi coins

Also:
Have the copper errors #248 and #249 on the way
Have the line on brass error #48.... Cheesy

The other 2 owners of the Bronze-AT are not selling at the moment.
Dogevisitor has some of the "Zero Set" available...hopefully at a good price Wink

I use the term "rawdeemed" for the redeemed bronze and brass.

Nice! Almost as impressive as my collection Cheesy

Sign me up!!
I would like to reserve 1 of each please.

I'm probably going to nix the "X" coins, undecided at the moment. The "A" coins will be assembled in the same way as the Node Bronze (with the same hologram) except there will only be approximately 150-200 total coins and 3-4 "colors". These will be sold in packs of 5 for $49.
