I bought Titan Gold coin  and the coin public address shows its unfunded but when it was sold Tim sent me a different coin address and I dint cross check. will peeling the coin and trying to load the private key help?

Did you purchase the coin funded or unfunded? I ask because I bought an unfunded 1BTC with a COA that matched the 8-character address on the coin, but was also provided a different address on the bill of sale by the 3rd party vendor. Sounds similar, but not directly purchased from Titan Tim.
Bought the coin directly from TIM,funded and is similar to what you mention, the Public address that he sent is completely different from public address on the coin which I didnt check at the time of buying . will peeling a private key with zero coin on public address help.
 
5cTKWpFQ is the public address on the coin.

So when entering these firstbits on walletexplorer.com the "pattern 5cTKWpFQ is not recognized" and when entering the firstbits at https://www.titanbtc.com/verify/ the funded amount is 0.0BTC. I recall that things were pretty scattered toward the end at Titan, and he was selling gold coins for spot without holograms (though I believe at one point he was thinking of selling whatever stock he had left funded, but was called out by member/owners for diluting the scarcity with that action). That said, have you tried entering the firstbits of the alternate address provided on either of these sites to get more funding info? That might help you make the painful decision to peel or not...

Those are not "first-bits".
Titan just used random characters for the holograms.
To my knowledge, only the 2017 coins have the actual first bits as their "code"
Thats correct!!And I guess there is no recourse.I will keep on emailing Tim hoping that he will respond positively!!

It's the coin ID to verify on the titan site, the coa has the 1st bits.
Very confusing and annoying I agree

Had no idea. thanks. So if I understand correctly, the code on the back, if not a 2017 coin, is totally unrelated to the funding address...
What a mess!

The private key under the hologram is only needed for redemption/withdrawing the funds. You use the public address for funding, hope this helps before you peel the coin
