GOAL:
Most Bitcoin themed coins highlight logos from their manufacturer or are meant to be used as Bitcoin wallets.  I wanted to create something that could be updated annually and fill the role of a traditional style coin such as an American Eagle or Chinese Panda for the Bitcoin community.

ORIGIN:
This coin was originally designed by Mick Bruce of MJBMonetaryMetals back in 2011.  Mick created the first silver Bitcoin themed coins with his 1 gram silver rounds (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=23256.0) but this 1oz project never made it off the drawing board.  When trying to determine what design should be used for a traditional bullion style coin, the choice seemed obvious for me.  All this coin needed was some updated binary, and I had plenty of ideas about that.

BINARY CODE:
The binary on the back of this coin is nearly all part of encrypted messages.  For example, the binary message around the outside of the 2017 coin reads 2017oz.

That was fast.  Congrats Rmcdermott927!  PM me your info.

They look awesome. May get a couple when they come out!  :)

What shipping agent you will used to ship the item? I want the coin ;D

The design seems to be good enough, and I did notice this in the other thread a few days ago actually. So when is this supposed to be released?

You won't add a airtite to each coin? Why?

USPS.



The goal is to have them ready to ship on January 2nd.

I will be shipping the rolls still factory sealed from the mint, so I will not be removing the coins to place them in airtites.

Do you ship with insurance?

That is highly dependent upon the location and amount of the order. 

i'll buy in when available. I usually buy bullion from JMBullion because they offer deals when you use btc ;D
but this seems like a much more enjoyable investment. im excited :) ;)

The dies have been completed and I'm hoping to get this project on the schedule to be minted sometime in the next 4-6 weeks.  I am still making final decisions about a few options, but it looks promising that these coins will be ahead of schedule and ready to ship out on January 3rd.  I've also been in contact with several retail outlets to discuss more traditional distribution methods.

The order with the mint has been finalized and I am now accepting pre-orders from buyers.  The 4 different coin types as well as pricing and pre-order discounts are listed below.  Please PM me (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=18321) in order to purchase.

Yes please for EU

These coins were minted yesterday and the non-gold highlighted coins have been shipped to me.  I should have them by the weekend.  No estimated time of arrival for the gold highlighted coins yet, but I suspect they will not be far behind.

Until when can they be preordered?

Fantastic, can't wait to get the in my hands.  Thanks Og for the update!

Oh wow that was quick, thought ETA was for January. Well done!

The pre-order shipping specials will stay in place until I have received the gold highlighted coins from the mint.  I suspect this will be in another 2-3 weeks.

Appreciate the heads up, I would like to put my name down for a pre-order of the 4 coin set.  :)

No need to put in your name.  Orders are open and ready to be placed.  PM me (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=18321).

I have a tracking number.  Coins should be in my hands in approximately 52 hours.

These are not going to be numbered right? Any idea on mintage yet? Will price remain the same after *pre-order* period?

Right.  The goal is to make a traditional annual silver option similar to an American Eagle or Chinese Panda.  Numbering wouldn't be appropriate in my opinion.  

I've been in talks with local coin shops as well as some of the more well known online dealers.  I have no idea if this will result in listings or what sales numbers could occur over the next year.  I do not intend to retire the dies for these 2017 rounds until December of 2017.  Their popularity over the next 12 months will determine their mintage.

Once the pre-order period is over the shipping prices being charged will rise.  The pricing for rounds is planned to remain the same until stock is depleted.  At that time the spot price of silver will help determine future pricing.

That's good so the price may even be cheaper if silver spot goes down. As well as the other way around...

Hi,

Does the 4 coin set come in any special case or something to display?

thanks!

They come in plastic airtites.  You'd probably have to talk to bg4 about a special case.

It would be really nice to be able to display the 4 coin set.  I was thinking the same thing and I'll see what BG4 is thinking about this idea if you haven't contacted him already.

Agreed, if you find out any info , i would probably be interested in gettign a set.

thanks!

I let BG4 know that I'd be willing to provide him whatever images/samples/specs he needs to create a display.  I'd also be willing to work with him to design it.  Sales would have to go through him though.  No sense in me being an unnecessary middleman.

First look:
https://talkimg.com/images/2024/01/11/3HLml.jpeg

Absolutely Beautiful!

I love it :)

I will PM you to make an order for the set, I hope that a display case can be made for these to show off!

thanks!

Looking great! More silver coins, I like!  :)

Thanks!  I can't stop looking at them.  :o

I don't blame you :)

So as far as the pre-order is concerned, you know ther are some people interested in the set such as myself.

So i'm wondering what the best way to go about ordering would be... meaning obviously a PM to you for the set of the coins, but as far a display case, you mentioned it might be from a 3rd party and ordering would be through them?

Just want to make sure, as it would be nice to receive all 4 coins in the set in the display case, but if that isn't the way it will work , i would place the pre-order for just the coins.

Also were you able to get in touch about the display case and possible designs and cost? Would be nice to maybe have a type of case which is viewable from both sides -  front and back ...maybe from lucite or a similar material.

thanks!

I am really not involved in custom cases outside of my willingness to assist with the design.  Anything I say about it is pure speculation.  BG4 & minerjones would be the guys to ask about this.  I've mentioned this thread to them.  Any production/ordering/shipping of coin cases would be done through one of them, if they decided to create a custom case for these.

EDIT:  The first of these coins has been listed for sale on eBay!  (not my eBay account)

Since people have been asking ,

I have been working on a design for a 4 coin set slab that anyone can use including the fine silver BITCOIN rounds offered here... this is just a mock up and the 4 silver wallets are just being held in place with pressure .  But I would like to get some feed back as to what people want... I have some ideas with 3, 2 and single coin slabs also.

https://i.imgur.com/lGffZAyl.jpg

That is pretty much exactly the type of display case I was thinking of :)

Lucite clear on both sides, a nice piece...love it!

Does that case allow for the airtites to still hold the coins, or do they need to be removed to fit in the cutouts? (oh reading again, using pressure - if you could clarify that would be great)

How thick is the case, i see it free standing, just wondering on the topple factor.

funny I was talking to another member via PM about something just like that :)

Thanks!

What would something like that cost?

can you fit 2 coins on top of each other so it looks like a square? secondly, is it wide enough to have them in a single row across?

Or can you place them anywhere you want and simply tighten to keep in place as in some examples below:

some thoughts:

https://i.imgur.com/omqtCgI.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/LzL163U.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/S1ztKMB.jpg

thanks for info!

Buck, did you "shop" those?  Looks awesome if so!   8)

Looking forward to the display by BG4 and Og, I will be placing my order sometime this week - I'll be in touch.

Yea a quick and dirty photoshop :)
thanks!

Nice work on the Photoshop,.. when I thought of the idea , I had envisioned a bit more detail in artwork that would add to the coins, I like to make hybrid items from different makers to come up with something even better..

https://i.imgur.com/aK9nr5l.jpg

So with that, I wanted some area to add graphics and fonts ....that I'd the reason for the open areas

Well yea something like that would be even nicer looking, I would suggest whatever the final design that the front and back be viewable...i'm sure you take that into consideration anyway though :)

let me know if I can help in any way on the graphics.

What are you thinking about in terms of adding to the clear case slab design? something similar to the papersafe? could be very interesting indeed.
thanks!

My order has been placed, when are the 4 coin sets expected to ship out?

I can't say for sure until I have them in my hands.  Right now they're still having the gold highlighting applied.  I would feel safe guessing they will ship by the second week of December.

Pm me when you have a design in mind.  I'm definitely interested in some sort of 4 coin holder if you decide to go that route. 

Thanks for the update, I'll be looking forward to them arriving sometime around early January.   :)

I try to underpromise and overdeliver.  I'll do what I can to get them in the hands of buyers by Christmas.

Not a new Airtite

Nobody as asked this yet, and I assume because they all know the answer, but how much gold is in the gold highlighted ones? Is it enough to justify the price increase? If it is, is it possible to get documentation of this because there would be no easy way to calculate it

Gold highlighting uses a negligible amount of gold. The cost increase is the work that goes into highlighting the coin.

This is true.  While the gold being used is 24kt, it is such a tiny amount, I would guess only a couple cents per coin.

The gold highlighting has been completed and the coins are being shipped back to the mint for quality checking and final polishing.  I should have pictures next week, but I'm told that they are very pleased with the final result.

Awesome and great stuff!

The pre-order option is not available still, is it? 

Anyways, looking forward to see the final product, hope you'll have a good time with these ones! :)

Excellent.   I can't wait to get these.   I'll likely buy a few more once I receive my set.  I need to pick which one I like best so I can buy a roll.

very much looking forward to my set :)

thanks!

FIRST LOOK AT THE GOLD HIGHLIGHTED COINS!
Not the greatest picture, but they are alive and safely back at the mint to receive a final polish.  I could have them in my hands this weekend if all goes well.  Time is quickly running out to take advantage of discounted shipping for pre-orders.

https://talkimg.com/images/2024/01/11/3ABqf.jpeg

Damn, those are looking good! I like the original design, and did not think the gold highlighted ones could outshine them, but boy was I wrong.

I won't be able to purchase a set of these, but down the road I'm sure I'll get some.  How limited are the goldies? :)

Thanks.  The mint told me that they were very pleased with the result of the gold plating.  I will see for myself in a few days.

The first batch of "goldies" was limited to 100.  While I expect I will see future batches, due to the additional steps, time, & cost required to do the gold select highlighting, I suspect they will remain more limited than their all silver counterparts.

The 24kt gold select highlighted coins have arrived.  I will be shipping out pre-orders early next week!  These will soon be available exclusively in the NastyShop.

If you can get your prices closer to spot price I'd be interested, the premium is way to high for a private minted round for silver collectors in general, just my two cents ;) looks fantastic!

It just hit me that these dont have a spot for a private key or hologram really. Is there any particular reason why you made coins that could not be loaded?

I would assume he's marketing these towards silver stackers/collectors, but the price is too high imo

Thanks

Is every coin that was ever made loaded?

I love the design, and think it is a nice piece to have personally.

I dont need to load it to enjoy looking at it :)

thanks!

There is a section in the OP explaining this:

Since these are instock does that mean that people that preordered should be getting them soon ;D

Yes.

Now THESE are some fine looking coins:

Edit: thx minerjones for the fix

Received mine today, I love the way they look. And no one else said that for the gold highlighted ones, it is highlighted on the outer-edge of the coin which is pretty neat The package came in a standard 4 by 6 envelope that was glued and taped shut and the coins were individually bubble wrapped

I got a nice delivery recently, I very much like the coin. It is very reflective, the gold accents are nice, and I like the idea of a btc/silver eagle type coin.




I will add it to my collection.

Got my set in today, the quality is great and they are some of the finest 1oz coins I've seen so far that don't come with a hologram.  :)

I've refined my shipping process and as a result I have lowered my shipping prices for these coins.  ;D

The mirrored finish gold highlighted round is now also available for purchase at store.bitcoin.com (https://store.bitcoin.com/products/1-ozt-silver-bitcoin-round-24kt-gold-highlights-mirror-finish).

https://talkimg.com/images/2024/01/11/3AX5j.jpeg (https://store.bitcoin.com/products/1-ozt-silver-bitcoin-round-24kt-gold-highlights-mirror-finish)

This is definitely my favorite one in the set.   I am considering buying a roll, or at least a bunch more than I already have.

There's a 5% discount if you buy the roll through me via a PM.  ;D

Rcm stated to me in PM that he




Is it true that he gets a greater discount that is not available to the public because of the service that he offers you?

I Just want to confirming my order :)
http://oi68.tinypic.com/33aqhjc.jpg,

That's so beautiful looks :D

Beautiful coin indeed.

These coins are now available for purchase through purse.io (https://app.purse.io/product/mog-04)!

I should mention that a gold version of this 2017 coin is being minted in limited quantities with shipping expected in July. 
You can read more about it here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1923548.0

https://talkimg.com/images/2024/01/11/3dqtI.jpeg (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1923548.0)

These coins are available for purchase at AllThingsDecentral.com (https://allthingsdecentral.com/collections/featured/products/1-ozt-silver-bitcoin-round).  Make sure to grab the 2017 version while you still can!

https://talkimg.com/images/2024/01/11/3Xb4D.png (https://allthingsdecentral.com/collections/featured/products/1-ozt-silver-bitcoin-round)

Graded them just for the fun of it...

https://i.imgur.com/D0uvm5r.jpg

Wow, they all got MS69, pretty impressive.  It would be pretty cool if you got multiple years all graded with MS69.   That would be a fun set.

I've started the process of crafting dies for the 2018 rounds.  There will be no more 2017 rounds minted.  Get them while you still can.

Will the design change? I think a little more of a plainer design would look even better. I like the 2017 rounds, but they are a little busy imo.

The only design change is the binary reading 2018 instead of 2017. 

Hi ! do you know when we will be able to buy them ?

The dies are crafted and ready to stamp some coins.  I have been a bit busy with the holidays, but having these coins minted is currently #3 on my list of Bitcoin projects to complete.  Answering your question, I'd estimate another 2 months.

okk good thx ! and have a great day !

The 2018 rounds have been minted.  They are being sent for gold highlighting/plating and I should have them in hand in ~3 weeks to begin sales.

The 2017 rounds are almost completely sold out.  I will be asking nonnakip to remove them from the NastyShop, but I still have a dozen rounds left for purchase.  If anyone is interested in buying up the last of these rounds, feel free to send me a PM.

2017 rounds have been removed from the NastyShop and should be considered sold out.  I still have a remaining few left that I will be offering at auction. 

Any plans to produce a silver bitcoin binary round except plain back with a recess for private key QR code and holograms for those who want a coin that can be DIY loaded?

I've thought about it, but most of those DIY coins end up never being funded.  I think having a design on both sides is cooler, right?

Since Silver Wallets seems to have closed there is no where to buy quality silver DIY coins at a fair price. I don't know about cool; just suggesting there is a potential market that could increase your sales.

I should be done with most of the projects I’m working on currently this summer. Maybe I’ll revisit the idea at that time. I like the idea of putting some pricing pressure on the market but I have 2 new coin releases coming first.  ;)

I’m starting to get messages about the 2018 rounds. I have them in stock but won’t be starting sales until next week.

If any one is interested, I will be offering the 4-coin 2018 set (while supplies last) for $170 (free shipping). There are 25 of frosted binary rounds left and when those are sold out there will be no more 4-coin sets available for the 2018 rounds.  PM me to place an order.

---

New this year...  Instead of having 2 different gold highlighted rounds, I decided to do the frosted finish in 100% 24kt gold plating. 

https://talkimg.com/images/2024/01/11/32eWC.jpeg

I've also decided to limit the all silver frosted version to only 50 units.  I didn't want to make them at all this year, but thought I'd offer 50 if people wanted to continue their 4 coin collections year to year.

https://talkimg.com/images/2024/01/11/320Cb.jpeg

what coins will be in the 4-coin 2018 set?

1 silver frosted
1 silver mirrored
1 gold frosted
1 gold mirrored ? ? ?

There are the frosted all silver, mirrored all silver, completely gold plated, and mirrored gold highlighted.

Thanks. I read the OP too fast , thought info was still from 2017 coins ;D

No worries.  I didn't feel the need to create a new thread for each year these coins will be released.

I took a trip to the post office today to get all orders up to this point mailed out.  It was a large stack of boxes.  Thanks everyone!  Enjoy your orders.

Received my cons today, thanks!

Same here, they look great!  Might need to grab a couple of the gold highlighted ones sometime soon to complete my set due to me missing the raffle.  :(

You know where to place an order.  :)

19 complete sets (w/ frosted rounds) left.  Don't miss out!

I purchased a coins pack from OgNasty, for my personal coins collection.

The free shipping delivery was fast (~10 days).
The coins arrived in very good condition (double carton + polystyrene + transparent protections were included in the coins pack).

I'm not disappointed. :)

Wow.  That is a gorgeous photo.  Thank you for posting this!

My sister is a photographer and I keep asking her to teach me..nothing so far. That second picture could not have possibly been taken with a phone right?

Yes, the photos are taken with a phone (iphone 6). Just take many many pics with different lighting, point of views and backgrounds, turn on HDR and you have a awesome pic. I took like 283 photos  :o about 15 are awesome.

Here is another fine one (light and focus is not perfect):

Dear OgNasty
I also want to buy 2 coins kindly check my pm.

13 complete sets remaining...

Hey OG. I just noticed this thread changed to 2018! I must have got the end of the 2017 rounds.

Anyways, I'm definetly interested in grabbing some of these 2018s rounds.
- Are you only selling in complete sets?

Yes.  These coins have also been added to the NastyShop (https://nastyfans.org/mint) but I didn't have the frosted version listed since they are nearly sold out.

7 sets remaining.

5 complete 4-coin sets remaining.

That was fast, I received my coins in 3 days. Thanks!

Received my set in only 3days - thanks for the super fast shipping and smooth transaction.
I love the new additions and am a proud owner of the 2017 and 2018 rounds. Plus a huge fan of the gold plating!

https://s9.postimg.cc/kkwdmkmn3/bitcoin1small.jpg

Keep up the great work Og!  8)

I'll take a set I can pay in 12 hours

Thanks!  Your picture didn't load before so I'm just seeing it.  Nice photo!  Added it to the OP.

These 2018 rounds are also available in solid .9999 gold while supplies last!

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4367242.0

Updated to reflect that there are only a handful of mirrored rounds left in stock.

Updated to reflect that the Bitcoin silver mirrored rounds are no longer in stock.  Grab the gold highlighted and plated rounds while supplies last!

OgNasty should be commended for selling high quality bitcoin precious metal rounds at a very fair markup. I hope you consider selling limited edition one ounce platinum bitcoin rounds. Silver-Gold-Platinum set would be awesome!

Thanks for the kind words. While I do plan to be the first person to release a platinum physical crypto coin, I currently have no plans for doing one in this series. If there were enough interest to warrant the expenses involved, it would be something I’d consider in the future.

Fixed it for you


Edit:
I didn't notice the Release part.
This shall be interesting to see whose come out first.

Fixed it for you.  ;)

My platinum rounds have already been minted and will involve no pre-orders.  I announced them privately to interested parties a long time ago and have been teasing them in my Slack group for months now.  I'll post pictures soon, but honestly I hadn't planned to make the public forum announcement yet, as I still have a couple things ahead of it on my todo list.  Just wanted to clear that up for historical significance.  They will also be extremely limited and out of the price range of most, so there isn't much sense in actively promoting it.

BitcoinPenny is selling his pre-ordered 1/4 oz platinum coins for $568 based on today's bitcoin price. Each of those coins contains $210 worth of platinum so I did not order any ... the premium over spot platinum is too high for me. Don't see those coins holding good resale value TBH ... no offense to CJBianco intended, just my opinion. I can buy two 1/4 oz BU Platinum American Eagles for about $518 in bitcoin from APMEX. As long as your premium over spot platinum is reasonable I would be a buyer.

I respect that opinion.  While I've strived to keep the binary rounds as affordable as possible, my upcoming platinum rounds put no emphasis on affordability whatsoever and have nothing to do with the binary rounds (so a bit off topic).  I actually had to pay for tooling so that Sunshine Minting could produce the blanks (first mentioned on the forum here back in March) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3084424.msg31816578#msg31816578) in the needed size which was not cheap by any stretch of the imagination.  It was my intent to make the greatest physical crypto coin ever produced.  Costs did not play a role, and price was not considered.

If there were 5+ interested buyers in a platinum binary round, I could look into how much it would cost to have new designs made and the coins minted.  Left to myself though, I doubt I will pursue it at this time.

Compare the mintage numbers of the APE to the BP. 

The spot to value argument has been hashed out a number of times on this forum over the years.  Let's not rehash this here with personal insults.  BP is free to charge whatever he wants and his coins seem to have sold quite well so congrats to him.

Thank you. Checking I see you have already sold 5 2018 bitcoin gold binary rounds @ $2000 or 1.62 times spot gold. 1.62 times spot platinum would be $1360. Seems reasonable that you could easily sell 5+ one ounce platinum bitcoin binary rounds as that price would be lower than the gold rounds. Depends on whether the numbers work for you. It would also complete the set: bitcoin binary rounds in silver, gold and platinum. As for your ultimate coin in platinum I would have to see it for myself to judge if the premium over spot is matched by collector value; I suspect it will knowing the quality of your coins. Sorry for derailing the thread.

There are a few reasons why a multiple to spot markup wouldn't really be possible with a platinum binary round vs gold binary round.  For example, the designs of the gold and silver are nearly identical.  I even had the binary spell out Golden to match the characters in Silver so that it would be a simple design edit.  Platinum would require a larger redesign.  I also have 1 of the dies on my binary rounds that can be reused, so the 2018 rounds only required 1 of the dies to be edited/crafted.  A platinum version would need 2 entirely new dies, with both requiring a redesign.  Then there is the cost of blanks, which can actually be higher than gold blanks due to their rarity (not sure if this is true for a 1oz blank, but it certainly is for the size I'm having made for my upcoming round).  Finally, the minimum minting costs would apply equally to platinum/gold and not be based on spot price.

I hope that explains why I wouldn't be able to offer a platinum round for $1,360 without taking significant risk and hoping the exchange rate went my way.  Maybe if I took pre-orders I could get the price down below the $1,600 I suspect I'd have to charge, but this would be more about pleasing customers than anything else, so there would have to be demand for it.

Appreciate the detailed explanation thanks. If you can offer a platinum round for around $1600 count me in.

Some of you have been asking me about the 2019 rounds.  I apologize for their delay.  I have everything needed to get them created and plan to submit the necessary information and metal to the mint in the coming month or so.  I also plan to have the silver and gold rounds created at the same time this year, so there won't be the usual wait between their availability.

If you're interested in pre-ordering, I'm open to the idea, but it isn't necessary.  I will offer a discount for doing so if you'd like and I plan to lower pricing on the gold rounds as opposed to previous years.

I also still have some stock of the 2018 rounds.  Contact me if you're interested in scooping them up or grab them from the NastyShop (https://nastyfans.org/mint).

awesome, love to get my hands on some the 2019 rounds ! a must-have for every serious collector.

Thanks wttbs!  I also saw that you posted this in the Slack group, and thought it might be helpful to show here for those who don't know how to tell apart the different year coins.

https://talkimg.com/images/2024/01/11/sl5U8.jpeg

a nice website to convert binary <-> txt http://www.unit-conversion.info/texttools/convert-text-to-binary/

Request: can you explain the other binary codes OgNasty? I sure I read it somewhere on the forum but can't find it anymore. As I recollect the (inner) binary code says also something about Nasty Fans or mining...

I have a nice image in my emails from Mick that points out all the hidden codes. I’ll have to do some searching to find it, or whip up something ugly for you. In the meantime, Rmcdermott927 found all the code in this post.

thanks !

I found this image showing how to determine the year of the coins.  I have a similar one somewhere showing the rest of the code.  I'll keep searching.

https://talkimg.com/images/2024/01/11/slo7Z.png

Designs have been submitted for the 2019 rounds.  If history is any guide, they should be available for sale in the next 4-6 weeks.

Hmm how big is the stock left? I would get some but I would wait a bit. Shipping makes it for me really really wishing to buy more than a coin.

I'd have to manually count them to get an accurate number, but I'd guess there are a couple dozen left of each type.  Maybe as many as a hundred of the mirrored silver rounds, because I did place a large reorder of them halfway through the year.

2019 dies are now being crafted.  I expect the new rounds will be available for purchase sometime in the next month.  Will update once they've been stamped.

Just ordered a .999 silver w/ mirrored finish & 24kt gold highlighting will post some pics once received. Thanks OGNasty! Beautiful coins!

Thank you for the kind words and support.  Your order shipped out this morning.

Thank for the free 1g silver coin. My first Nasty. I really like it. Will add more Nasty in the future. 8)

2019 rounds getting stamped this week. Both silver and gold. Will open up sales in the coming weeks when I have them in hand. Thanks to everyone for being patient with me this year. I promise I’ll have the 2020 rounds ready in January.

I’m planning to begin selling the 2019 rounds late next week, or possibly the following week depending on some unrelated things. They’ll be available both through https://nastyfans.org/mint and from me on the forum directly. Purchases made through the website will include a $5 donation to NastyFans.

Pictures??

I'll post pictures once I'm ready to start taking orders.  As with prior years, they will be nearly identical with the exception of an updated binary code to reflect the current year.

The gilt has changed from year to year.... I’d call that a significant change. ;)

Ive been waiting for these 2019 to add to the collection.

I absolutely love the 2017 and 2018 sets.

Im going to want the set of 4coins plus some additional frosted ones. Exciting  :o

I have no plans to offer gilt options this year for a few reasons. Mainly being that anyone can send these away to be plated in any way they want, so I'd like to encourage that if there are users who wish to add to these coins.  I no longer want to sell customized versions as I'm not doing anything special with them that anyone else couldn't do on their own and the added cost of dealing with multiple vendors results in price increases being passed to the customer.  I also no longer wish to offer frosted coins, as I'm able to reduce the cost of the mirrored coins as a result of these changes in production and want to offer the best product possible.  The result of these changes is a lower cost mirrored coin of $35, an increased discount on the price of rolls (from 5% to 15%), and a $2 cheaper US shipping cost.  This may be disappointing to some, and if there are enough of you interested in me releasing an official plated option, I'd be willing once I need to place a reorder, or maybe someone else would like to purchase a roll and receive my help in having them plated, but I have no interest in taking the initiative anymore as >90% of the coins sold from this series have been the mirrored silver rounds and their price was inflated to subsidize the costs of the plated rounds.  With the overall picture this move makes the most sense for me.  The result is a lower cost product for the customer and hopefully I can continue to lower prices in the future.  I'd also add that there are plenty of plated rounds from last year that went unsold and are still available at: https://nastyfans.org/mint

Sounds fine 8)
Good serie. The price is perfect for gifts to friends.

The 2019 rounds are in stock and available now!  New lower price ($35).  Same great quality.  I haven't gotten information and pictures to nonnakip yet for the NastyShop, so currently they're only available by sending me a private message.

Free US shipping for the next 12 hours of orders! (while supplies last)

Would love a 2019 coin. If any of the 40$ 2018 coins are still available, would love one of those too. Can’t PM you as a newbie, but please let me know if I can purchase cons from you. Thanks.

I've temporarily lifted my newbie PM block.  Sorry about that.  I'll shoot you a PM now.

I also have some of the 2018 mirrored rounds left and can include one of those with free shipping as well if you are in the US.

I can pay anytime, but unable to PM you as I have used all mine for 24 hrs. Feel free to PM me with cost and shipping and I will gladly complete the transaction. I will send you the txID and my shipping info when I have a PM available tomorrow. Hope this is acceptable. If not I am OK waiting to complete all via PM tomorrow. Thanks

Thanks OgNasty. I sent payment and will get you the details tomorrow via PM and privnote. Sorry to make it so hard as a newbie. I appreciate you working with me on this. Can't wait to see the coins.  ;D

Here's a pic of some 2019 rounds.  I'm going to start slapping them in airtites and will most likely get a shipment of them out the door on Monday.  I'll likely get nonnakip the information and pictures to list them in the NastyShop at that time as well for people who want to see a part of their sale donated to NastyFans.

https://talkimg.com/images/2024/01/11/s0oPC.jpeg

Yeah ! new 2019 rounds ! I ordered some, can't wait get them in hand  ;D

The first batch of these coins was shipped out today.

Just got my binary rounds. So shiny. Thanks OgNasty

You’re welcome. Thanks for sharing a picture! Enjoy!

I was a bit late to the party with offering the 2019 rounds for sale, so if you haven't grabbed one yet, head over to the NastyShop (https://nastyfans.org/mint) and get yourself some Bitcoin stocking stuffers for the 2019 holiday season.

https://talkimg.com/images/2024/01/11/s0Vgl.png (https://nastyfans.org/mint)

Minting of the 2020 silver binary rounds has already started, and I plan to make those available for purchase in the near future as well.

https://talkimg.com/images/2024/01/11/s0sxw.jpeg

2020 Binary rounds are in stock in time for the holidays!  For the next 2 weeks™ I'm offering them 2 for $59 US or 2 for $69 International.  Otherwise, they will be made available for purchase on the NastyShop at a later date.

Nice! ordered some  ;D

Orders have all been shipped (yours went out a few days ago).  Enjoy!

The 2020 rounds have been added to the NastyShop!

https://talkimg.com/images/2024/01/11/s0Io3.png (https://nastyfans.org/mint)

Yes, it's awesome! Yes, it's superb quality! Yes, I love them: NastyFans 2020 Silver rounds

Sweet pics!

With silver spot prices creeping up to the retail price of these coins, I feel obligated to say that anyone with inventory concerns should probably order directly through me via a personal message. The NastyShop stock is updated weekly and sends weekly transactions that include things like returning BTC for sold out items which has been an area of concern for some users. If you do order a sold out item through the NastyShop, be aware of the possibility that your BTC may not be returned immediately and please include contact information with your order in the space provided.

I’m also curious if people think I should raise the USD prices of my coins as the spot price rises or allow them to be sold as a great deal for buyers.

A reminder that while my items are priced in USD, I only accept BTC as a form of payment on this forum.

Still have some of these in stock. Grab them while the premium is low and the Bitcoin price is at all time highs!

I’m testing out a new PO Box and as soon as my test letter comes through I will ship out the pending orders from this week. Thanks to those who ordered and be sure to post your thoughts on these coins when you get them!

Thanks to Doblezero for posting this image of their recently received purchase on twitter!  Always great to see these images being posted from across the world. :)

Nice coin!

Responding to this question from a different thread:

This is an image of the LTC rounds and it shows the inner binary, but you get the idea.  If you start at the middle of the top outside binary lines and go clockwise you will get the binary code for the coin's year.

Minted Seats as well as LTC & BTC rounds are sill available while supplies last at https://nastyfans.org/mint

I’ve shipped out quite a few of these silver Bitcoin binary rounds to different countries around the world lately. Would love to see people posting some pics of theirs! You can order through me directly via PM or at https://nastyfans.org/mint

Any plans for 1oz Silver Bitcoin Binary Round (2021) (mirrored)  ;D

Nope, but thank you for the inquiry. The only binary rounds left able to be purchased are the ones listed at https://nastyfans.org/mint

I’m not sure if I’ll be making any coins in the future, but if I do I would most likely want them to be something unique that utilized the blockchain somehow, the way Minted Seats do now.

Bitcoin’s price getting you down? Is the panic setting in? Want to dump some coins before they go to zero? Want something physical instead of magic internet money? Here’s your chance. Stick me with your virtual coins and get some shiny silver shipped to your door.

Feel free to grab them from the NastyFans site or PM me directly. I’m usually willing to accept a lot of different altcoins as well.  :)

This is the tap on the back "it's all gonna be fine" that I needed 😂

The exchange rate has fallen by more than 25% since I asked in this post to be the dumping ground for magic internet money.  I'm sure everything will be fine eventually, but for those who want to cash out a little bit now and have something to show for it, I got silver for you.  Drop me a PM and let us make a deal.  :) 

A lot has changed in Bitcoin prices over the last month, but one thing remains the same.  You can still get yourself some awesome silver coins with it.  :)

The available stock listed in the OP is correct.  Drop me a PM if you're interested in grabbing some of them.  I received a PM asking about these coins so I figured I'd give the thread a bump and let them have some visibility.  If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the thread or to me directly with a PM.  Always happy to get messages from friendly folks.

I received this question via PM and it was done so nicely with pictures I wanted to post it here and say that I indeed do have these rounds in stock.  The stock listed in the OP of this thread is current and if anyone would like to purchase any of these rounds, please feel free to reach out to me with a personal message (PM) and let me know what you'd like to get so we can work out a deal and get you your coins.  :)  

I have been working at getting the highest graded Nasty Pool and Nasty Fans 1gram coins I can. Most have graded at MS 66 Proof Like. This nice one just came back MS 68 Proof Like. I'm happy

They look good in the holder. Better than the picture shows.

Congrats and thanks for posting a picture (love seeing pictures of my coins in the wild).  Now that the NastyFans 1g coins have sold out, I imagine it will start being pretty difficult to get your hands on them.  There are still a handful of the NastyPool 1g rounds left for anyone who wants to snag one of those before they're sold out as well...

I am seeing an uptick in sales for these 1oz coins (this thread) this week with 14 of them sold already.  It seems like a lot of folks are trying to grab what's left in stock for their collections before these too are sold out.  :) 

Hi Og, how they hanging?

I was wondering if I can purchase two of your 2018 coins, please?

One each of the


I might look at getting the 2019 and 2020 mirrored coins in about a month's time.

Things are good.  I hope they are for you as well.  Seeing all of your red feedback is a little troubling, but I'm sure everything will go smoothly with this trade.

No problem about the coin order.  Usually this sort of transaction is handled via personal messaging so I went ahead and sent you a personal message with a total and address that you can send BTC to in order to complete the transaction.  Please also provide your address information and feel free to use a service like https://privnote.com/.  Thanks for inquiring.  I'm sure once you get them you'll be ordering more.  :)

As the Taylor Swift song says "Haters gonna hate".


Thanks,

I've sent you details of the relevant TX and contact details via PM.

Regards,

You are most welcome!  I've just packaged up your coins for shipment and they'll be going out first thing in the morning.  I hope you enjoy them!  Feel free to post some pictures once they've arrived and be sure to let me know when you're ready to order more so I can help you out.  Thanks again for your order.

Getting asked if these are still in stock (thanks for the purchases) and I must say that yes, they are still in stock as the OP in this thread indicates.  Everything is up to date.  Stock is running a bit low but as long as you aren't trying to purchase hundreds of them, I should have you covered.  If you want to purchase, just drop me a personal message with your country and what you'd like to purchase so that I can send you a quote that includes shipping costs. 

Remember remember the fifth of November.  Hope everyone has a great weekend!

I got some of these to add to my commemorative MJB MonetaryMetals / Mulligan Mint AOCS token collection.

OGNasty, did you know that the original v1 1g silver MJBMonetary Metals coin from this post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=23256.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=23256.0) is listed in the "Encyclopedia of Physical Bitcoins and Crypto-Currencies" as the first physical coin ever minted with the bitcoin logo on it?

Here's the quote:

"This is the first bitcoin themed coin to be produced and sold. Released on June 28th, 2011, these were sold out over a month before the first Casascius coins went on sale. Being sold for 1.50 GBP each with a minimum order of 10, supply ran out in two months. Due to the original cheapness of these coins it is likely that many were damaged by mishandling and/or misplaced over the years. As such, the number of these coins in good condition is likely very small, and one coming onto the market is a rare event."

I just had a couple graded by ICG! I'll be selling one commemorative MJB MonetaryMetals token collection and keeping one for myself :)

Yes. You can often see me telling people who use his designs that they should send him some free stuff. The second line of the OP even gives credit to MJBMonetartMetals for designing these coins (and the Litecoin versions). He was an iconic early designer in the Bitcoin community, a great guy, and I’d like to consider him a personal friend.

The author of Rich Dad Poor Dad (one of the first books on investing I ever read) has been pretty vocal lately about precious metals and Bitcoin as a safeguard against a coming recession.  He's said that silver is one of the most underrated investments of our generation and expects it to jump to $500 per ounce in our lifetime.  If that's true, then now might be a great time to make sure you've got some real physical silver in your portfolio and not ETFs.  Holding Bitcoin is a great idea, but being diversified isn't so bad either.  :) 

Robert Kiyosaki Warns About Stocks, Bonds, Mutual Funds — Says Bitcoin Best for 'Unstable Times'
https://news.bitcoin.com/robert-kiyosaki-warns-about-stocks-bonds-mutual-funds-says-bitcoin-best-for-unstable-times/

I know two people in my work place who have bought ludercrious amounts of bullion (one has bought just silver while the other did a split in quarters - gold, silver, Bitcoin and (?) can't recall what). The former has a mix of rounds and kilo blocks of silver.

While I'm all for investments (especially bullion, crypto and currency) I've asked both of them how can they be certain the price of bullion will skyrocket when miners are pulling more resources out of the ground?

I do understand there are some comparisons to crypto mining pulling blocks out of thin air, but Bitcoin has a deminishing reward built in to promote a growth in price over time whereas resource mining has gone from panning at the side of the river with a pick and shovel to mega industrial scale flattening entire hills and even reprocessing old tailings chemically to extract more than was originally mined.

I still have some of these silver binary rounds available for purchase. Contact me for a discount if you’re interested in purchasing 20+. A bit surprised these babies haven’t sold out yet. I don’t have any plans to mint any more currently so once they’re gone they’re gone. Happy coining!

Last chance for stocking stuffers.

With all the issues surrounding Bitcoin's mempool being extremely crowded and high fees I've had a few people inquire about me accepting other currencies for these coins.  While I'm not going to accept reversible payment methods like PayPal, I am usually happy to accept any non-reversible payment method like USDT or even other cryptocurrencies like MATIC, Solana, ETH, etc.  I don't typically look to accumulate cryptocurrencies outside of Bitcoin, but am always happy to work with people who want to make a purchase but don't like the idea of spending such a huge amount on blockchain fees. 

I can't find mintage stats on these pieces. Can you provide those?

I have one with gold highlights id like to know the mintage numbers for.

I never tracked the mintages on these coins, mostly due to having so many retail partners early on and struggling just to keep coins in their inventory from the mint. However, I can say that the 2018 year was crazy how many were sold. I think I shipped to 50+ different countries or something like that. So as far as rarity is concerned, the 2019 & 2020 coins are by far the most rare, whereas the 2018 year is shocking to me how many exist. I’d guess a number in the tens of thousands. As for the gold highlighted versions, only a few hundred of each type were produced.

I continue to sell these but stock is getting low...  Might be a good time to grab some if you have been on the sidelines as the BTC price surpasses the $50K mark.

The mint I used for these coins has changed hands and my contact is no longer with the company, but I have been trying to find someone there who can give me exact production numbers.  I should've done a better job tracking 3rd party retailers who were offering these for sale.

I was also sent the dies for these coins (along with others I've minted) and wonder if I voided them with a mark if there would be any interest in owning them by someone in the community.

PM me to purchase these rounds, or check out some other coins I have for sale at: https://nastyfans.org/mint

Due to recent rally in the silver market, I will be increasing the price of these coins by $5 per coin in the near future. I wanted to give a warning first for buyers to have an opportunity to get in at current pricing. Most likely the prices will be raised by June barring any unforeseen developments in the metals markets. PM to purchase.

Is there any discount on full roll or more?

In short.  No.  The price not having been raised yet is the discount.  :)  In another 2 weeks 4 days they'll be $5 higher in price for each coin.  Depending on your location, availability and how many you're interested in, we could maybe talk about free shipping, but as far as dropping the price per coin, it's swinging the other direction.  I'm giving fair warning now so anyone who wanted to get them for the original price has a last chance to do so.  With BTC near all time highs, transaction fees at reasonable levels, and silver rallying, this is probably the best time ever to purchase one of these rounds with BTC...

First price increase is now live after nearly 8 years of sales for these silver rounds.  If you previously contacted me to reserve old pricing, you have until the end of the week to complete your purchase.  Thank you!
