Looks like I have competition.

I don't want to get in a bidding war with another physical Litecoin company, so I think I'll just bow out gracefully.

Perhaps I shouldn't of posted my idea here on the forums for anyone to steal... oh well, you live and you learn.

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 = at least. Not sure where you get $10.
Current price of silver is $21.81 oz, So that half oz coin is worth $10.90, it dosent matter what it says on it, you can put anything you want on a silver coin, its easy to do and it dosent make it worth anymore, silver is silver. It would be stupid to pay $20 or $30 for a $10 piece of silver.

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.
Yea but when you go to sell them no one is going to pay that premium you spent, so your losing money on them.. They are strictly souvenir coins. A big enough company puts any design on a coin they want and sell them for pennies above spot... apmex.com  -  providentmetals.com  - I am a gold and silver investor, I never buy anything with a premium, because your just losing money on it, but thats just me...

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 think some people missed the part where it's also a pre-loaded wallet with 10 LTC on it. You can open it up, withdraw 10 LTC, then sell the 0.5oz of silver. The "10 LTC" written on it is just telling you what it contains, not an attempt to fix a value on the coin.

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.

These are worth the same as any other product or service is worth; what the merchant is willing to sell them for and what the market will pay for them. Personally, I think they look pretty cool and may be persuaded to trade some BTC/LTC for some, depending upon the selling price.

I would pay more than that for one. Even just as a souvenir, but I know of several people that would drill a hole and make a necklace and would probably pay ~100$ for it.

Why not just buy a generic silver coin for $20 and drill a hole in it yourself?

And that means litecoin would go up in value and it would now be backed by silver... totally negating the concept of digital currency...

Awesome. Not sure if the "very expensive high security tamper proof hologram to secure each private key" method is practical...
