WHAT MAKES THIS COIN SPECIAL:
This coin is one of only five "Artist Editions" (AE) coins.  What makes it especially unique is that it is the only coin with the 1Satoshi & LSamsara vanity addresses.  It also comes in the wooden display case.

What is different when comparing the Artist Edition Vs. the regular version? I read through the original thread and am still having a tough time figuring it out. I have a regular one, but I might want to snag this for my collection instead :o

That's a good question.  We'd have to wait for Natty to give a definitive answer.  I was under the impression that these were either hand picked for superior quality, or were the first strikes from the dies.  It is possible the only differences are the numbering (AE5) and vanity addresses (1Satoshi/LSamsara) though, as my discussions with Natty about these coins were done using messaging software that can't be referenced.

This is the only information I could find about the Artist Edition: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3245823.0

I've sent NLC a pm on Telegram so hopefully he'll come in here with more info :D.

The artist editions had a unique vanity address and were reserved for the original artist and creators of the coin and we’re linited to 5 units

Does that mean they were randomly selected?

Not the greatest lighting in here at the moment, but I snapped this pic showing the "AE5" mark.

Hi-

The vanity addresses and the serialization on the edge were the primary indicators. Whereby the vanities are of more importance (attractive) in my eyes.

1Satoshi (Bitcoin) represents how one (we) can break LSamsara (financial enslavement). On the wheel Buddha (enlightenment) is generally on the outside of the wheel, however he is sometimes placed on the center.





The intent was to have something unique to go with the original art and blown glass and to also offer something to people that assisted me with the project. There were 5 total.

Nice photo.

Was the Pendant made by @gee_if ( https://www.ifandco.com/ ) ?  It looks like his work.  Nice piece.

No, my piece was custom made in New York's Diamond District by a well known jeweler.  I did look at your link and it's cool that they appear to accept Bitcoin.  They even have a Bitcoin pendant for sale.  Sweet!  This isn't the thread for this discussion though, so I'll get back on topic.

Guessing from the lack of bids I probably should've accepted the recent offer I received for this coin, but the auction will continue as I didn't want to end it early!  Good luck to the bidder!  NaTTyMiNd SAMSARA collectors won't find a better coin.

~2 hours left to go on this!  :o

0.16BTC  ;D

Congrats on the steal.

BTC was ~6800 when AE1 went up, I understand it was #1 and it had the blown glass case and beautiful art, but it went for 0.5BTC.  For BTC to be ~3800 today and this coming to me for 0.16BTC.  You're damn right I just stole this.  Thank you for putting it up....  ;D

Payment coming shortly.

1 of 5....... LMAO!!  Love it.
