If you decide to knock some up in 999 silver I would take one Wink

Thanks, let's see what happens! Wink

Just curious.. would it be possible for you to make a silver version using this mold? If it is possible I am interested, I could send you 1 kg .999 silver, you have to melt it and make the coin.

That would be EPIC!!!! Cheesy

If this is possible, I would want one as well Wink

Good call, wttbs!!

I would want one too (depending on the price). 1 kg of silver is currently worth $473.08 (1.026BTC). He should went with .999 silver in the first place. Aluminium is currently worth $1.85 per kg Grin

.

Well... $473 is trading price, when you want to buy in EU it is about 600 euro for 1 kg .999 (taxes included).

Count me in too! If it's possible for both you and bitcoinarchitecture, I want one silver version Wink

I'll pay you the silver cost and bitcoinarchtecture the casting costs.
I will pay the shipping for you for organizing this Wink

(Silver to bitcoinarchtecture & casted coin back to you)

wow, take it easy Grin

. Nothing has been arranged or started yet regarding the silver coin. Just wait for bitcoinarchitecture (BA) to respond. Then everybody can decide what auction to take. No group thing/buy. If and I say if it is possible and BA wants to do it, every should take personal action and provide the silver individual.

Being that, if this does become a possibility, would there be a way to source the silver for USA customers??
It would be cost prohibitive for me to send 1kg of anything overseas, not to mention the import costs and what-not....

Just my 2 satoshi!! Cheesy

Thanks

Well you will see a good example of this in silver in around a months time. I will be doing a 5 troy Oz and 1 Troy Oz fine silver coin which was inspired by your work. If you like I can send you a 1 Troy Oz coin your way so you can see the detail. The illustration was done by hand and touched up digitally but so far it looks amazing.

Yeah sure, you can send me a 1 troy oz coin, would like to see how it turned out.
Now stop plugging your coin on my thread! Cool

Hey guys,

Thanks for the interest and that you like my piece, realy appreciate it!

To keep it short: I can't create this piece in silver as it is now.

Reasons:
1. Casting silver needs to be done in a sand mold. The biggest problem with this is that the fine details in the piece will be lost.
2. The actual casting (melting, pooring etc) I would have to outsource, which makes it expensive.

I chose to do this piece as a coldcast because the details are extremely fine. I can do this proces all by my self, which reduces costs.

To meet my quality standards, this piece in silver needs to be minted. This gives great detail, nice shine to the piece, this is just too expensive for now.

A while ago I have started a 3d desing for a 2 oz silver coin, but this is still in the design fase, can't make any promisses, since I have a lot of project going on right now.

Thanks again guys, and if you want this piece coldcasted let me know!

For non-EU members you can make an exception of course regarding the silver and a EU member will do some kind of groupbuy for the silver. First let us all wait for BA to answer...

Due to personal circumstances, I will be taking offers for my 1st edition Bull vs Bear piece. If bitcoinarchitecture agrees, I would like to use them as escrow (if necessary). Please send me a message with offers.

Hey Smithy,

Sorry to hear you have to let go of the #1 piece.

But can you please start your own [WTS] thread with picture, price etc.
This is to avoid confusion concerning payment address etc.

If you want to sell quick you could also do an auction.

Thanks

Thank you very much BA, I love your work, although unfortunately I have to let it go (I work in the tourism industry and it hasn't met expectations this season). I will make my own thread (sorry for the possible confusion this may have caused).

Sorry..I had repacked it and did not want to take out all the way.
I hope my hand gives an ok scale.
I can do more pics tomorrow if more interest Wink

Thanks for that! I have a lot of purchases pending but I'll think about buying one of these

Really a great piece. The pictures do not do it justice!!
Any idea on how to hang or display??
Maybe use a large plate display stand?

Thanks again for the artwork!! Cheesy

Thanks for the pictures!
A large plate display stand would look very nice.
Another option could be adhesive platehangers, it states they hold 2,5 kg.

Bull vs Bear website online!

Shoot me a pm if you want to do a trade or an offer.

The website is pretty good.
I like how you have each piece displayed and that you can click on it and get the specifications.
Looks like piece #2 was quite heavy as well as mine #25.
Would this variance be because more of the aluminum powder was used?

Thanks

Thanks! The center of the piece is filled with a different (lighter) material. Since the pieces are all handcasted the amount of the material vary. The great thing about this is that this unique weight gives the piece an extra security (besides the COA and private key in the piece

)

I would realy like to see a picture of your #25 piece!

The security hologram is put on the certificate?

If there was something to hide how is it secure if someone can use a bright light to get the key from the back of the paper?

Please explain as it makes little sense from my perspective.

Sorry for the confusion, on the actual pieces there is a paper with the private key under the security sticker.
