So basically, wheresmycoin ordered a First Print edition of my softcover back in April, but unfortunately, it never arrived.

Hey, hope you enjoy your short stay here in sg..
It is my pleasure to meet up with Elias, the author of encyclopedia of physical bitcoins and crypto-currencies. It has always been virtual in bitcointalk
for me, i didn't expect to actually meet up in person, he is currently travelling a round trip across in asia/southeast asia starting from china as i write
this post. Even got my booked signed(found its way back to meet its owner again temporary) personally
We chatted up, he explained/shared to me about his book, what he's doing currently. etc.. I showed him the dual cryptocurrency.
Nice meeting you here Elias.
I'm sure you have many stories to share too when you are back.. Ok, this is seriously the coolest physical bitcoin I've ever held.

We decided that the auction was not the best way to go about with the sale.
If you are interested, PM me to make an offer. I'll arrange for shipping & secure transfer.

opened to pm offers.. Mintage: 1
The Ethereum side has already been funded with 1 ETH.
In that case, i can do another option of not funding the 1 BTC since coin is already funded with 1 ETH.

Okay that will suffice unless there is enough surge on Ethereum economy that I'll have to trade them off.
But anyways, that will help a lot. Thanks for accepting the offer.
It would appear not.
If you check the pictures, you will see addresses already engraved on the coin.
I assume these will be the ones loaded with funds.

You didn't quite understood my point.
I know the addresses are engraved. But I do not want to store the coins in those addresses as I do not intend to break the gems and reveal its private key in first place.
Rather, I want them being stored on a different address provided by me so that in case of emergencies I can spend the money without doing anything to the coin.
ok can.
is that coin made from gold? wow its really interesting image that i ever see. one coin will have 2 both different face. i think it will be sold so expensive and will be precious coin in the world. and i think it will attract more people on the auction.
it's made from 999 silver, with gold and rhodium plating. Image taken from an iphone, this coin itself has many special attractions.

Gotcha
That is a great idea for something like this actually.
Personally, I have never peeled off a hologram and redeemed a coin.
Though I'll admit I have been close to doing so
I'd get this funded with the address on the coin.
But that's just me

Well, that is totally a new concept an I very much like it.
But in case I win the auction, will you be willing to load the 1BTC and 1ETH on the addresses I specify?
This is because I want to have it as a collector's item and will never plan on breaking the gems to reveal its private key.
So that way I can spend the money in case of emergency without touching the coin and losing its overall aesthetics.
