Title: Bitcoin Suisse AG Post by: jaska on October 24, 2017, 12:12:11 AM Is anyone familiar with Bitcoin Suisse Ag paper wallets, like how many were made, if they have any value? I can't seem to find much info?

I was fortunate to buy a few both funded and unfunded, and they are really really nice. I've even redeemed a few and they were in tact :) I have no idea whether they sold the number they quote in that document. I took a few pictures of one of my unfunded certificates. They are a heavier material, not sure what but it doesn't feel quite like paper, with embossing and a small hologram. Very sharp printing that's held up nicely, though I keep mine in sleeves. To redeem there is a private key concealed beneath a scratch away surface that is beneath a perforated section you need to tear away. My experience has been that the QR code for the private key is impossible to scan with a phone, but the private key is quite legible. I think they were a bit of a hidden gem that slipped away before most folks were aware of them.. I'd buy a new issue but I don't think they have sold them or stated plans to sell them in years..

These were really remarkable paper wallets in that they were issued by a registered financial institution and are very high quality. They contained two signatures of the officers in the company, providing an extra assurance of secure handling of private keys. I sent an email in December of last year and they informed me they were sold out of the first series, and would be restarting production in 2017. Since then I have not heard about any updates on this second series. Lately it looks like they have been very active helping broker ICO fundraisers.
