IN STOCK NOW!

Low cost, DIY, 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver, 1/10th Bitcoins (unloaded)

---

---

The goal here is to provide these as at close to spot as possible so people can purchase multiples for storage and gifting of silver and BTC gifts. Of course there are incremental fees that include die creation, hologram, airtight capsule, profit, etc. The batch is 1,000 coins and each one comes with 1 hologram and an airtight protective capsule. The coins use our 1/10th BTC die for the front and a new die created for the reverse to provide a recessed area for hiding a private key under the included hologram so the end user can load the pieces with Bitcoin.


Pricing:
Singles = $50 each

Shipping and handling:
US = $10
Intl = $25

Sure! I'll take one.

I'd definitely take one at that price. It does look nice and a bit different from what I currently have anyhow.

I'm in too! I might even buy more than one  ;)

Yes I'd be interested. Have you ever considered getting proper custom holograms made?

You mean something like this?

Yes, the holograms are very pricey and require a large order, but perhaps I will pull the trigger.

I'll buy one too.  ;D

Exactly ;D. Number 1 looks really good!

I will have to agree with minerjones and TheNewAnon; out of those three, the first one is the best (I guess).

Hi Chris,

I think its about time you got some nice new holos. 

#1 or 2 looks best to me, though #2 looks straight out of Casascius.

I'll get a coin if it has a new holo like these.

In order to do the upgraded holograms, I would need to make this a larger scale project (1,000 coins). This would push me to selling 10 packs rather than singles.

Are there interested parties in 10 packs in the $300 range ($30 per coin)?

1k pieces is a very large financial investment so I do have concern regarding if there is sufficient customer interest. I know there are about 10-20 collectors who buy one of just about everything but that market does not justify me investing a couple thousand dollars into new 'proper' holograms and a large batch order to keep the price low to the end buyer.

Where exactly would you be getting your holograms for >1k$ for a batch of 1000? Or do you mean the total cost for the project? I'm getting some holograms made, and I'm fairly sure they won't be more than 1k$ for 1000.

Im interested in packs. How would this lpoks delivered to UK?As a tatse i would take 2 packs- 20 coins

I am not sure who you are going through for holograms but Prism Hologram is the company that makes the fancy 'proper' ones like you see with Casascius and Lelana, etc. They are beautiful but you have to order 5k of them minimum as they create custom templates. The cost per hologram is not bad but you have to make the large order. The cost for 5k is $2200.

UK shipping would be in the $25-$35 range I am pretty sure as long as the package stays under 4lbs. Over 4lbs and it jumps to about $65. 16 ounces in a pound so could most likely keep 20 pieces packages under the 4lbs cutoff.

Hope there wi be no vat on those. Maybe sent as gift...Otherwise is pointless . As of now count me in for 2 packs.

Option 1 for the holograms please. ;D

My vote goes to option 2 of the hologram. I'd definitely order a few when it's ready ;D

I like this design.

I think a silver 0.1 btc funded coin with custom holo will be very nice.

Thanks, but due to US regulations, we can only sell these unfunded but the coins will come with a hologram so the customer can very easily fund the coins themselves.

When can i get some info regarding coins?

When you thinking to start shipping?

Still not completed with design stage but hoping to have that done early this week. Then we can move into production. Not sure how busy the mint is presently but will be at least a few weeks to get them ready to ship after design stage is completed. I will update more as timetable gets solidified.

Keep me updated with all this and lets do some business.

Hello, I've been looking to make my first physical bitcoins purchase.  Yours seems quite promising and feel free to add me to your list :)  I may do a roll, depending on the final details.

Sounds good, please stay tuned to this thread. Design finalization should occur today/tomorrow and then we move to production which will take about 6 weeks. Mid June we will be ready to ship.

Update: Moving into production, just awaiting final mockups for approval. Estimated 'in-stock' date will be mid to late June. Product has been added to the website and is available now via preorder for those wanting to get the lowest numbers possible. All sales are sequential, no reservations or special numeric requests, first buy, first serve. Numbering begins at 0001 on associated Series 7 holograms (new custom holograms as shown in thread). 0001 is mine so public availability begins at number 0002.

If purchase by Bitcoin is desired, please contact me directly.

All cool but when tried pay for 2 packs got only shitty paypal.
No go for me. Can you accept bitcoin?

As posted, PM FiniteByDesign directly to pay in Bitcoin :)

Damn, silly me. Thanks for that.

Please be careful if someone PM's you requesting BTC for the sale. I have heard people scammed this way.

U shoul post your wallet and only to that wallet make payments. That way no way to scam.

I generate unique to sale addresses for each transaction so unfortunately that is not an option. I hate to use them, but I may just re-establish Coinbase as my payment processor.

Regarding transaction itself, how i will be able to prove preorder was paid by me? Are you going to make list of people and publish it here?

You will have history of our communication along with Bitcoin transaction details. Basically the same things you would have in the case of a regular sale (not preorder).

I had not planned on making and maintaining a list but if necessary, I can look into it. They are a bit of a pain to keep up and I am not sure how much of a benefit they add...

New mockups on OP now. Just waiting on a slight edit for the coin and the hologram and then off to production.

I am pleased to announce the resumption of accepting Bitcoin payments directly through the website

Very nice! ;D

Did you opt for a hologram? If so which one?  :)

Still having a little edit done, but this is the one that will be used:

Alright guys, all done with design. 6 weeks till product is ready to ship.

0.069 BTC each at current exchange rate

I paid 0.11 at the time that we pre-ordered. :-X Anyhow, have these started shipping out yet or is there another 1-2 weeks to wait?

Bitcoin has been going up is why :)

They should be in any day now, hold tight!

Heard back with an update from the mint, looks like these will be in my hands around July June 23rd, so still almost 2 weeks out.

July is next month...

Typo, meant June, sorry.

June sounds a lot better! Can't wait to get these. ;D

Any update on this? It's now mid-June so we should get them soon, right?

Correct! Will update asap :D

Ill take one! haha

When you get your hands on them, F*D, mind taking a picture? I'd love to see the real thing. "Concept art" gives me the jitters".

Thanks
~Decoded

Absolutely will do!

The mint has shipped! Coins will be in my hand next Thursday and ready to ship next weekend!

Coins are arriving today! I will post pics this evening :)

Plenty still available for sale?

Yes sir, it is a large batch (1,000) so I can offer them at a much better price than normal in the physical Bitcoin realm. 
Pricing:
Singles = $40 each
10 pack = $325 ($32.50 each)
20 pack = $600 ($30 each)
Inquire for larger order quote

Shipping and handling:
US = $10
Intl = $25

The earlier you order though, the lower number in the series you will get.

I can't wait to get my #2 and Lauda's #1. ;D

You mean #2 and #3, I am keeping #1 ;)

Whoops, you are, of course, correct. #2 and #3 are ours, haha.

There was a mixup with shipper and re-delivery will occur today  :'(

Coins are in, shipping will commence now!

Awesome!

Looking forward to #11 + #12!  :)

Are these still available for new orders?

Yes, orders are open. http://finitebydesign.net/product/1-troy-ounce-of-999-fine-silver-diy/

Silver spot price up over 25% in the last couple weeks, over $20 an ounce. Get your coins before I have to raise retail to keep above spot.

I'd like to place an order, I just have a quick question I'm sending you a pm now.

I would love one of these coins!

100 Pack price added. Just $5 over spot and you get custom stamped coins with numbered custom hologram and protective airtight capsules. Limited quantity available so do not miss out!

I got the two just before yours. You like #13 don't ya? :)

Looking forward to receive them, they are on their way.
Oh and pretty cheap compared to other coins.

100 pack option is temporarily removed as a large portion of the inventory has developed some milk-like spotting (see reference article link below). The portion of the inventory with the spotting is going back to the mint for meltdown and repressing so I am working with a small inventory until this is completed. If any of the orders already shipped out have an issue, please reach out to me and we can swap out any spotted coins (do not put the hologram on!).

So these are just bitcoin wallets combined with silver? I am thinking of some thing new where you can store bitcoin and take out cash if need be with it. That would be awesome.

Yeah a bitcoin debit card is more what I am looking for. Thank you for the suggestions. :)

3 bought :)

Thank you, your coins ship today.

Received #11 and #12 today, coins are perfect, very shiny and looking awesome!

Damaged inventory has been melted down and re-struck so the 100 pack option is available again. This is the lowest cost you will find for .999 fine silver physical Bitcoin pieces. Each one comes ready for customer secure DIY assembly - recessed area for hiding the private key and a custom Series 7 f*D hologram with etched window for visibility of public address.

100 pieces @ $25.50 each = $2550

Get yours before we experience more economic turbulence while silver spot price is low.

Lowest markup from spot silver price of any physical Bitcoin. Add some to your long term savings my funding with BTC. Silver and BTC packed together for your future retirement and heirloom.

Bullish projections for silver...

~4.25 BTC ($2,550) for 100 1 Troy ounce of .999 fine silver coins

Got my coin in yesterday, it looks great!  :)

Thank you for the update :)

Bought some coins from f*d, all arrived and nice packed, quality is pretty good.

If you are looking for a nice looking .999 silver round I think that it is your place :).

Also the shipping is pretty fast.

Do yourself and your loved ones a favor and give them some loaded BTC .999 fine silver pieces (customer has to load themselves) before the fiat system crashes  ;)

Attach your $800+ BTC to some .999 fine silver for storage.

I might give my DIY coin away as a gift and pick up another shortly, should be a nice silver coin for someone to load this holiday season.   :)

I am gifting some loaded ones this year. I expect them to be people favorite present ever in a few years.

Bulk purchase options have been removed as I expect silver and gold to follow Bitcoin up in these times of economic insecurity. These pieces will be released in small batches going forward. Only 51 pieces available now.

I'm in for 1.
