I believe that 8PM on the East coast of the US is actually midnight GMT (forum time) :)

There is something strange about this coin... there is only a Golden plated version of the 2011 25BTC, either there is something wrong with your photo camera or the gold plating is gone!  :o

Sorry yes, midnight forum time, and as far as the coin goes its the same as my other one must be the camera, took it from a cell phone and probably not in the best light.

Is it just a shadow, but what's that purplish blur/smear/smudge on the coin? Is that just discoloration?

No smudge, not serp is correct its in the same spot, probably wearing something purple when i took the picture.  Will try to take a new picture before the auction ends but i can assure you there is no purple smudge on the coin.

I don't know if it meant before the end or after the end... If before you may have got it at .49.

Any clarification would be helpful.

Stepped away for a moment.  Dozerz you have won at .49

The auction deadline was 1200 forum time unless someone bid within the last 15 minutes of the auction, which it came 6 seconds late, sorry coin.

Dozerz will pm you shortly for shipping details.

Since this thread is filled with those looking o a 25BTC coin, I'm taking offers on a rather beat-up one.
On the plus side it is pictured on the front cover of my book!

You should put that in your upcoming book to show how one should NOT treat a coin  :D
Airtight capsules are only cheap and worth every cent when this is what can happen.

Not a bad idea, or at least a blog post!
Interestingly enough, this coin is fairly prominent on the book's front cover.
Just so you know, I am not the one who did this.. I bought it in a lot with several other redeemed coins.  ;D
