I knew if I don't buy them now the chances of actually paying the prices people rightfully are going to be charging for them are slim...

...and I want to open a full color roll oh so bad.  Cool

Ha ha know what you're saying. Yeah the full set went for good money from the last run of colored coins.

Maybe if I get lucky and get multiple top rare colors this time youd be interested in a trade for an AT>

I'm in conversation about selling those with someone at the moment. Possibly though if they dont sell Smiley.

Nice coins. Considering buying the AT Ravenbit.

 If only I'd quit giving him all money I'd have more money to buy more of his coins  Roll Eyes

I had to sit on my hands when I noticed the new Ravenbits up for sale, I was so close to buying some but I really cant keep buying coins its getting ridiculous Cheesy.

Do you think the toning will affect a grading by ANACS??

Thanks,
Erik

It depends on whether ANACS takes into account I artificially toned them. Not sure which way they'd go with that.

I'll take Saturn.
PM Sent

Thanks got it and replied with payment address.

All of the AT coins, with the exception of Uranus, are now sold. I'm going to make that one an auction with a starting bid of 0.25BTC

Excellent thank you the price reduction certainly worked. Auction should be interesting Smiley.

Never easy to price these things!

Of course, it must be difficult especially with the work you've put into each coin. Glad I managed to get a pair Smiley.

The hologram being defeated would only be plausible on an Orange coin I'd believe but I agree on the devaluing with using a different color/style label since the original distribution would be changed.

I see that a couple have sold already and I think the pricing is much more appropriate at this level.   Smiley

In my mind these are still part of the larger group (the 83.1%) and are a hybridized version of the grey label coins.  Since these were toned without the holograms applied it may have been appropriate to give them a different color/style label if you wanted them to be truly unique.  Anyone can tone them (obviously won't have the same firstbits) but nobody would be able to reapply a hologram as these holograms aren't in circulation.

I agree that the AT coins are part of the larger gray address group and that they are a hybrid version of the gray address coins - no argument there.

I've not considered, nor will I consider, giving the AT coins a different color or style label because that would contradict what I originally laid out for the distribution of the Node Bronze. It could potentially devalue all of the coins already purchased (and secondary trades for non-gray coins) and I refuse to do that.

And yes, anyone can tone a gray address coin, but they must also successfully remove the hologram, change the first bits to one of the 7 coins above and then reapply the same hologram (since as you said, these holograms are only distributed as applied to the coin). All of this is possible (see defeat of Casascius hologram), but unlikely given the required effort and skill set needed.


Not trying to knock the toning you did as I know it was one of your first attempts, but it doesn't look as professional as it should for the asking price otherwise I would probably be all over these.   Wink

I appreciate the critique (honestly), and I wouldn't represent this toning as "professional". I was more interested in how the concept of artificially toned coins would be received. Perhaps if the toning was more professional there would have been more of a response  Cheesy

I've lowered the asking price to something a bit more "reasonable".
