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

Ok, this is seriously the coolest physical bitcoin I've ever held.
I've got some more pics if you guys are interested... and a cool story, perhaps best shared by wheresmycoin
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.

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.

Thanks for all the kind words, this coin is special and given the current slow market sediments for physical coins now, but we will see how the offer goes..

How does the redeeming work? Do you need to remove the gems?
redeeming works the same way, e.g. as visiting blockchain.info and sweeping your btc private keys. Yes, you'll need to remove the gems to retrieve the physical private keys hidden inside.
How does one "find" the private key inside if it is hidden without accidentally destroying the private key?
a slot is hidden inside, right beneath the precious gemstones, invert the coin and the high-grade stainless steel plates with engraved private keys(btcð) will slide out onto your palm. There's a little jingling sound of the plates if you shake the coin.

Is there a way to sign a message?? as your password was recently reset and you have not posted since March/Decemeber
Also, I would require an escrow before placing a bid

ok can. Regarding an escrow, have not yet decided but i might require copies of winner's full identification for this particular coin if escrow is used.
Also, I suggest not having the auction here but to rather have it in the actual auctions subsection since people can edit their bids here.
noted and thanks.. I will hold the auction under the auction thread.

the production cost for this coin is very high. yup, ~20oz of 999 silver. a larger amount of silver is needed to conceal 2 private keys(btc+eth) easily, though a smaller sized coin is still possible and more challenging.
Bids will be in BTC for ease of bidding.. start time would be now. Would update the other rules later in op. Escrow is available with trusted member.

Oh my..
That is an absolute beast of a coin, if you could even call it that - more like a plate
~20 Troy oz of silver?! Precious gemstones... You went all out with this OP
Well, this should be interesting to say the least.
You need to set some rules for your auction, start time, end time, bid increments, whether bids must be in both BTC and ETH? Also if this will end at a fixed time, or whether bids in last x minutes of auction increase duration by x minutes. Escrow available with a trusted member?
On that note, good luck with this!
