this looks good. when the redeemed litecoins make it into the physical silver market then it helps to spread litecoin!
Topic: These physical LTC look awesome! - page 2. (Read 3763 times)
When these are being sold will it be announced here or on the litecoin forums? They are way too cool to pass up. (assuming they are loaded with ltc)
That little 10 litecoins written on them must be ambiguous.
Looks nice, but if so, that 1/2 oz silver 10 LiteCoin round is still only worth 1/2 oz silver, about $10 -
If its current rate of 10 LTC = http://dvcticker.appspot.com/btc-e/10ltc/usd.png at least. Not sure where you get $10.
I'm assuming that these will each be loaded with the private key to 10 LTC - like the Casascius Bitcoins. So $10.90 plus $23.79 plus premium to cover manufacturing costs and some profit for the guy making them. Gotta be looking at around 40 bucks each.
You should shut up now and look at casascius.com.
If you compare brand new physical litecoins to 2011 unique and funded Casacius bitcoins, you are going to have a disappointing experience.
I wasn't comparing them; Aquaman is talking about these like they're just silver coins with the Litecoin logo stamped on them, he doesn't appear to understand that they're preloaded with LTC.

Well if casascius silver coins are any indication, you are wrong.
When those first came out, it cost about $80. About 10 bitcoins at $4 each + 1oz silver at $30 + $10 premium.
Check out how much they went for on ebay recently: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_sop=13&_from=R40&_sacat=0&LH_Complete=1&_nkw=casascius+silver&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&rt=nc
Granted btc price is >$100 now, but the premium on these are still huge.
Keep on preaching it, no one believes you aquaman, we have seen this all before and the early adopters made out like bandits.

You should shut up now and look at casascius.com.
I would buy one 
edit: I also want to have a silver 0.1 BTC from Casascius
edit: I also want to have a silver 0.1 BTC from Casascius
looks really nice and precious! would buy some of these
It's funny that when I'm thinking about making physical BTC and LTC the forum get filled with potential competion. I will work on something else instead. 
I found this on image search and saved it to my pc, but cant find the link again.
Your image is not visible:
Well these really looks awesome, anyone selling them?
who made it
They havent even started selling them yet.
Yeah, but I haven't even had mine made yet. There is about a 3 week lead time at the very least to go from a design to a product.
Profit margins are so small for this type of thing, if there's competition I'll have to lower my prices and it's not worth my time. I make $40+/hr at my day job, I'm not going to work myself silly on this project for peanuts.
I actually think I know who is making them by deducing several things because Coblee knows who it is already... this guy is on the Litecoin dev team so it would make since Coblee was aware he was making them. The guy offered to partner with me when I made my thread, but was going to make me sign a contract and pay for legal fees, etc., so I turned down his deal. I suppose maybe it is my fault, but if I partnered with everyone that asked to partner with me in this deal, I'd have 10 partners by now.
Anyways, I guess I'll just go back to being a lowly miner... life is much less stressful that way anyways.
The person is not on the Litecoin dev team and is unrelated to us. I think you should continue with your coins. Yours is really promising too. There's definitely room for more than 1 physical litecoins. I'd buy both and I'm sure many people will too. So there's no need to have a price war.
So let's say you buy one @ $40. $20 of that is ltc value the rest is the silver, cost and profit for the minter.
If one physical coin ..= ltc value for 10ltc ..+ silver value no matter what's done your investment is still solid. Even if you spent the ltc you could sit on the coin or trade it at market value.
