Title: [AUCTION] Ended - Geek Bitcoin MS60 Post by: Steeley on March 31, 2022, 05:49:55 AM Here's a second coin from the Encyclopedia of Physical Bitcoins and Crypto-Currencies that is somewhat obscure and has been hard to find. For those of you trying pick up one of everything you can find, this coin may be a fun addition to your collection.
By the way, usually in forum auctions, discussion is discouraged for the sake of the sale. However, I am encouraging discussion. These threads always end up adding to the history of these coins. If you know something, please share. This auction is for a 2014 Geek Bitcoin that is graded by IGC, MS60. It is on page 168 of the Encyclopedia. They are gold plated brass and have a denomination of .0005. I have no idea if they are loaded or if they were issued with public addresses. There is definitely something under the hologram so I suppose they actually could be loaded, but I have no idea; I definitely do not want to peel it to find out. I'm not sure how rare these are. I wanted to post some links to discussions in the forum about this coin, but I could not really find any that have descriptive information about the coin itself. https://i.ibb.co/px1dw4t/IMG-5243.jpg (https://ibb.co/px1dw4t) https://i.ibb.co/MG2Vsd7/IMG-5244.jpg (https://ibb.co/MG2Vsd7)https://i.ibb.co/2q5B4r1/IMG-5245.jpg (https://ibb.co/2q5B4r1) You can see much larger views of the coin if you click on the thumbnails and then enlarge them by clicking a second time STARTING BID: BTC.0 BID INCREMENTS: (limited to 4 decimals) BTC.0001 END TIME: Thursday, April 7th, 17:00 EASTERN (NEW YORK, NY) TIME CLOCK: https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20220407T17&p0=179&font=cursive (https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20220407T17&p0=179&font=cursive) PAYMENT: Due in BTC within 24hours of auction end.

I like your idea of encouraging dialog during an auction, like you I figure why not. As for if it's loaded or not..no, they are not loaded, or at least they should be treated as not loaded. This has been a topic of discussion/debate over the past few years. I know that there have been several peeled and checked and nothing to be found. I believe there is a private key underneath but no one has ever reported there being any coins on them. My guess is they were originally made and sold w/public keys but they were lost in the shuffle at some point. Interesting tidbit, there were little treasure chests that sold with some of these coins. I have seen one or two pop up on here for sale at one point, has been some time though.

I screwed up on the date for this auction. I had it incorrectly ending today. The auction actually ends next Thursday the 7th. The thread has been corrected.

This is a great source of original info on the coin. The treasure box, which Lebnor owns, is also pretty cool.

Title: Re: [AUCTION] Geek Bitcoin MS 60 - Another Obscurity from the Encyclopedia Post by: MoparMiningLLC on March 31, 2022, 07:37:11 PM the site states that the "address" is also under the hologram and makes it seem as though they should be loaded.
Quote The "private key" & "address" is on a paper embedded inside the coin and is protected by a tamper-evident hologram.The hologram leaves behind a honeycomb pattern if it is peeled. If the hologram is intact, the bitcoin is good. edit - I read further and it states that these were DIY and assembled but yes, not preloaded by manufacturer - if they assembled they included a separate list with address(es) Quote Way 1 : Order the coins , print and put the Key&address by you self then transfer your bitcoins into the address in the coins. you can easy and safe print ramdon key&address by using the generator web. Here Way 2: Order the coins with ramdon key&address already. transfer your bitcoins into these address. we will send you the coins with a address list, and Extra tamper-evident hologram, so you could verify the coins. looks like parent company was "Bitfly Global Management Limited" Title: Re: [AUCTION] Geek Bitcoin MS 60 - Another Obscurity from the Encyclopedia Post by: Eclipse33 on March 31, 2022, 08:03:51 PM 0.0045BTC
