Reserved for the highest bids. EDIT: I decided to just have some of the high bids instead of all of them.

0.01BTC

Ill place a bid of .10 btc but my questions are, where are the numbering on them, what is the difference between the funded and unfunded ones (in markings and such) do you have a picture of the holograms

-Numbering is on the back.
-Funded coins have the first few characters of it's address. Unfunded coins have the text "EMPTY!!!" on the back.
-For holograms and other info, see the ANN: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1537080.0

Thanks.  :)

20 minutes is probably sufficient, but it is your auction after all.  :P

Alarm set then.

Popcorn started.

Even if it doesn't get extended any further, this will end in the middle of the night. As a heads up, I'll PM the winner in the morning if it does end in the middle of the night.

Also, because there has been good competitive bidding, shipping is now free to the winner.

Current high bid:

Free shipping?!  Thaanks miffman.

This is the winning bid! I will PM you shortly.

Thanks to all who participated, it was a great bidding war!

There are no more BitPieces! Set #2 and coins #91 & #92 are the only coins part of my personal collection. The correspondence list will be updated accordingly, once set #2 comes back from grading.

Congrats GP.
