Here's one you might not have:

I don't have that coin but only collect wallets that have a private key.  Appreciate the heads up though.

I've got 5 of the total 500 Physical WDC Antaui coins from 2013 that I'm selling, and I'm certainly not gonna let them go for cheap.

I'd be interested to hear your price for one of the Antaui coins, either buying one or trading for other physical cryptos.

I'm not so sure at this point. I'd probably sell them all together for around 4 BTC. More if I had to split them up.

The price increase will happen as scheduled, another price increase will happen closer to the end of the production run.

$239 is a lot to pay for 2 oz of silver. $339 is crazy. I guess I'm just cheap.

I thought the same thing...

Minting costs could be pretty high...

The are only minting 2222 of them, a lot of rarly minted coins are sold way above spot.





2222 coins hardly seems like a rarity and at that price will take a long time to shift. $339 is a crazy price for what is essentially just 2 oz of silver, a hologram and a few other bits. It's hardly a big, well known name like Casascius or Lealana..

I preordered one.  I prefer the non-antique finish.  Thanks for clarifying that this is a computer design to avoid future confusion.

You should take a picutre of all of them and post it here!  That is a lot of different wallets!

I'm out of town now, but could do that when I return in a couple days

Hello all

I have passed your comment on to Alec johns,  he has said on the next coin we will show the coin relief drawing and mark it as a cam design image. We will strive to make it clearer in future releases.

The Da Vinci coin as shown here is what customers will be receiving we have tonned down the antique effect around the text following comments we have recived.

The price increase will happen as scheduled, another price increase will happen closer to the end of the production run.

Here are some actual product images

I am no expert on photo forensic, but that picture with the hologram look pretty photoshopped to me.
I guess it is up to interpretation of "actual product images".
When I read "actual product images", then is my expectations a picture of the real physical product, not altered or modified.

Don't get me wrong, I have no doubt that the coin exist, its only a matter of how the product is presented.
I think when selling premium coins, then is it better to exceed the customers expectations rather than disappoint them (imo).

The CAD design that people preordered with showed more of a clean background with much less antiquing and ultra high relief.  

What I got was very rough sanded backgrounds with flat relief and tons of antiquing.  

I wouldn't care if people knew ahead of time what they were getting.

Hello All

Following the discussion regarding antiquing and what difference it makes to the coins I have today taken these images before and after shots

Please excuse my lack of photography skills.

As you can see the antique effect brings out the details.

Hello

I replied to this on another thread.  Here is the copy paste from that thread.

--------

Hello.

The original coin images where based on computer generated images and CAD drawings we received from the mint during the initial phase of manufacture relief images are made showing the detail and lettering of the coin.

The antiquing process is actually done by hand it gives an aged look to the coin and brings out fine definition in the hair and lettering.

The coins we showed during the initial phase and launch date where changed as soon as we recived the final coins.

In our second batch of coins we made some changes to buff the edges making them smoother. The coin manufacture process requires the coin to be struck 3 times to get the detail from the hair and beard.

The coins are then buffed to smooth out the edges (this was not done on the initial batch but has since been implemented) the coin is then washed and antiqued each coin is slightly different as the antique process is done by hand the images I posted are from a real coin from the first batch.

The coin you see here posted on this tread is a actual customers coin.

After mentioning your feedback to Alec John our sales manager he has authorised the exchange of any customer who is not happy with there coin.

Please pm me if you wish to exchange out the coins. We will arrange new coin and send you pictures in advance so you can check. Once we receive your coins back we will ship out the replacements.

We strive to deliver good customer service and satisfy our customers. Overall we have had a great response from customers.  The antique process darkens the coin colour and brings out definitions which would otherwise be lost.



Mandy

That's nice and all, but you haven't explained the difference between the high quality coin photos you posted and the less than stellar coins that arrived to customers?

In my opinion, the difference in photos is probably because it was hard to accurately depict the "Antique Silver" finish in the original CAD design posted on the website. If I remember correctly, an "Antique" type finish has to be rubbed onto the coin, which explains for the darker areas around the block of text to the right of Da Vinci. I.e.- It is harder to rub the finish around areas like that.

I could be wrong though, and this is taking bithalo's thread even more off-topic, but I'm just trying to provide an explanation. Not taking sides here.
