Very nice...do you have a picture of the entire paper wallet?

This is my version of the old mining stocks from the early 1900s with a bitcoin twist

I designed a paper wallet with every security feature I could think of....... I did this for my own use...because I didnt like any paper wallets that were printable....I did about 10 different designs, only printed 2 of them in a series of 25 each....... I haven't really wanted to release them here or anywhere for that matter....I didnt think anyone would buy a pre-printed Paper wallet with private keys... If I got enough request , I could do another run of 25 or 50 and sell them here. or If anyone wanted a custom run for them selves...... that could be done also....

How about a unique paper wallet document that can not be duplicated  and is limited in its production ... that contains public and encrypted private keys......  would anyone buy them???   Why does a physical bitcoin need to be made of a metal..

I don't find paper wallets to be as special as coins.  I don't care for something that can be printed at home and look like a photocopy.  If its done right with unique papers or inks, that's a little better.

YES...nothing like you have ever seen before.... Top notch paper, touch sensitive inks, stamps, embossing seals, holograms, micro threads, hidden UV details.......impossible to replicate , encrypted private key password is tamper evident, one time reveal..... 

Yes, I would be interested in those

I would also be interested in a professionally designed physical paper/card wallet.
If designed correctly, they could look really nice. I recently saw that Zinodaur created one but it seems like the company haven't actually released it as of yet.
Perhaps you could create a mintage of say 100 classic ones with a portrait of someone important in the crypto space.
You could then create smaller limited editions with portraits of other important people.
Your most limited card could depict satoshi (in silhouette) and have a total of only 10 or so with that artwork. I guess as far as private keys go, it'd be the same as any physical wallet.
I'd 100% buy a few 0.1 BTC - 0.25 BTC denominations if the price was right.  

Seriously though, check out Zinodaur's work... It's amazing.

I wouldn't mind for more physical coins on the market, as long as they're cheap Cheesy Not fan of big gold coins with complex designs...

How about a unique paper wallet document that can not be duplicated  and is limited in its production ... that contains public and encrypted private keys......  would anyone buy them???   Why does a physical bitcoin need to be made of a metal..

Just the way it's come to be I guess.

Metal is solid and can last some time.

I thought that crazy woodcollector guy did something with wood bitcoins.

They were round wooden "lasered" art pieces..... very beautiful I may add.......But I don't think they had Public and private keys that were loadable and redeemable

I worked with woodcollector on some prototypes for a wooden physical coin.  I actually have 1 in my possession but haven't completed the engraved private key plates that go inside of it yet.  It's on my to do list.   Tongue

I would personally only buy either physical bitcoins or litecoins, probably won't go with doge or anything unless it's unfunded.

Also, consider how you would generate private keys. People are becoming more and more cautions when handling private keys.

I collect all physical crypto coins, cards etc...regardless if bitcoin or not, but I would prefer bitcoin or at least some mainstream alt.  Not CLAM.

I would limit the mintage, so a collector feels it has some rarity. 

I don't mind whether the coin is funded or not, and probably prefer its not due to trust issues and lower price.

I agree that Bitcoin or Litecoin are the most mainstream choices.  Clams seems so obscure that you risk having a tiny audience.  I don't see why the alt choice or denomination matters on cost if you go unfunded instead.  Based on your country, there are legal issues to fund these.  I also agree that DIY may be preferable or as an option, so there aren't trust issues.

Use a nice simple clean design with a custom holo if possible.  Keep the price under $50 each.  The lower the better it will sell, as people are very price conscious.

If you offer a few different finishes, many collectors will get one of each.

Thanks, I'll definitely look into btc and ltc. I'll look into self funded coins.

Should I have a cap on the amount of coins I produce or should I just produce indefinitely?

I would buy a physical Bitcoin or Litecoin.
Most people us price as a decisive factor when buying physical coins though.
If your premium isn't too high and the coin itself is well designed and high quality, you should have no problem selling them.

I'm hoping to have it have a fair selling price. Litecoin seems like a viable option since there isn't as many coins available.


A solid gold coin would be ridiculously expensive. I'd also think about not funding them yourself. Doesn't that leave the people who own them to trust you not to have made a back up of the private keys? I'd design something like Silver Wallets have so people can fund the coins themselves.
As much as I'd like to produce a solid gold coin, I wouldn't be able to do it as it would be hard for me to get the amount of gold required for the coin. It is too expensive which is another reason for why I wouldn't produce one.

If people won't trust me with the private keys then they shouldn't be looking into purchasing the coin. I'd prefer to make a coin wallet much like Silver Wallets, but from what I notice is that people prefer coins that holds a value. Correct me if I'm wrong.
