What is a Silver Wallet?
Silver Wallets are 1 troy ounce pure silver coins that can be used to store a private key for a Bitcoin address. The obverse bears a unique and stately design the represents the advent of this brilliant new technology. The reverse has a 12.7mm incused square for you to carefully place a private key QR code that can then be concealed with our custom tamper proof hologram. Silver Wallets give you the freedom to store as little or as many BTC as you want.

Nice to see a European reseller of these beautiful coins.
Are they shipped from EU?

No sorry. These will be shipped from the US.

What's the point of reselling then?

Maybe reselling isn't the correct term for it. My task is to handle business related items on Bitcointalk, as the others are busy with eBay, the company itself, etc. If you know a better term for this, please do tell me.

EDIT: I think that "seller" makes more sense so I'm going with that for now.

If you are handling all the selling for them on bitcointalk as well as other business related items then maybe "official representative" or "representative" would work.

Do you know if anyone has ever had any of these graded and if so how they turned out?

My impression is that Silver Wallet is being graded pretty well, check out this thread, all MS67:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=835394.msg9983947#msg9983947

Yup, mine graded at MS-67


I see, that makes much more sense. Yeah, I would go with Seller.

That might be a good term for it as well. Oh well, this will do for now.

Yes, there have been graded Silver wallets: WTS ANACS GRADED SILVER WALLETS (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=835394.0). The "Gold trimmed"-coin and the "Design 2"-coin both received a MS-67 rating.

EDIT: I see that some others have had them graded as well. Thank you for the input everyone.

it looks like that guy got ms-67 on three of them. I will probably end up buying one. :)

Oh my they are so pretty...
You smelt my brain with these, don't think 75$ is feasible for me though, especially not with 13$ shipping costs.
Have any intel or plans on a silver plated version?

Yeah, these are real beauties, that's for sure. I don't know of any silver plated versions as of yet, but I'll make sure to contact you when I receive any information about that.

Almost jumped when I saw the price of the silver/gold coin at $75 then realised my phone browser isn't loading the page setup properly :(
They're beautiful coins. Congrats on becoming the official seller :)

$75 for the gold one would be a hell of a deal, but sadly a big no-no. Thank you very much, I'm happy to be one. ;D

Coin #58 of the "Design 2"-coin series has been bought by Quickseller. Thank you very much.

Confirmed. I am excited to be getting one. It will probably be a while before I will have a chance to get it graded though, I have a bunch that are in need of grading.

Are you the new partner for silver wallets?

It looks like he is selling on their behalf on the forum. Kind of like a contact person/representative

Nope he is the forum sales guy though  8)

As said above, I'll be just handling all sales related items on Bitcointalk. So I'm not a real partner if that's what you mean.

The "Design 2"-coin sale ends tomorrow at 11.59PM (GMT+1)! So grab them while you can.

For those who don't know yet, there is a special auction going on. If you win it, you can choose between a "Design 1", "Design 2" or a "Design 1 /w Gold Trim"-coin. Click here to go to the auction. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=984941.0)

Also, the "Design 2"-coin sale is now over.

So I Just got my silver wallet in the mail and I wanted to give my feedback.

When the package arrived in the mail, I found a letter from their business partner explaining how to load the silver wallet along with very professional packaging. The coin itself came in an airtight capsule in case you wanted to keep it in as good of condition as possible in the event that you wanted to get it graded.

Also in my package, I received three holograms and a slab to hold the coin in, none of which I was expecting (thank you for that).

Once I was finally able to get the coin out of it's airtight capsule, I found a very beautiful coin. On the front,  I found a space to put a paper QR code for the private key, along with the coin number and the words 'silver wallets'. On the back is the words 'Universale Monetae' which is latin for Universal money on the top, and in the center there is the currency symbols for the Yen, the Dollar, the Euro, the British Pound, Gold and Silver. On the bottom of the center there is some formula that I am not sure what it means.

I decided not to actually put a QR code underneath the hologram. After putting the hologram on the front, the coin is even more beautiful then it was before. The hologram has the BTC symbol in the center with the word 'bitcoin' repeated several times around the edge.

I have decided to rebel and take the coin out of it's capsule, and keep it on my person to serve as a good luck charm, as this coin is inexpensive enough for this to not be a horrible financial decision. After handling it after as much I have so far the coin will probably not grade very well anymore. I am no expert in coin grading, however when it was first taken out of the capsule, there was nothing wrong with the coin that was visible to the naked eye.

I think this is a great coin to buy with any one's signature campaign earnings. With current pricing starting at only $75 plus shipping, you could easily pay for this with only a few weeks worth of signature campaign earnings. At current exchange rates, the price works out to ~0.26 BTC.

If you are interested in bitcoin this is a great memorabilia to own. If your budget is limited, this is a great way to start or add to your coin collection.

Below are pictures of my coin:

Awesome review Quickseller! I agree the Silver Wallets do come with a sweet setup, it is a great package deal. That Series 2 looks great, I still need to pick one up for my collection when I can. I have the gold-plated silver though and it is just an amazing looking coin, and mine looked flawless as well. You def. need to get a gold BTC one now, you won't regret it. The premium is a little higher but is understandable with material & minting prices and worth it in my opinion. I can't wait to see what they drop for their third design.

I think Mitchełł is a good choice for a quick response SW forum guy as well, and maybe if things pick up he could start shipping some from the EU? I think that would really help people with Shipping/Customs/Import taxes for international orders.

Speaking of 3rd design...We started the process and are at the rendering stages  8)

I don't get it...why is shipping to Canada $13? That's alot.

I wanted to stop buying physicals... but as it will be probably shiny I will have to buy it...

We use a flat free for all international shipment. This means it will be (a bit) pricier in some countries and (a bit) cheaper in others.

Hey Mitchell, I've updated the OP just now :). I did notice that the order thread is still active. Maybe it needs lock to prevent confusion? Cool that you are the seller now, blazedout is trusted, but a forum staff member allways increases trust :) You can check out my thread  here  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=921095.msg10116931#msg10116931)

The price is going down. Be smart and store some of your net worth in pretty silver coins that you can be used as a paper wallet!

We mint only 1000 coins per style - Custom dies cost a couple thousand dollars to make. Each coin requires 2 dies...1 for the front and 1 for the back. Who do you know that can buy silver at spot prices? We pay over spot when making our coins and also pay for each run to be minted. The "stickers" are custom made security holograms and are very expensive to have made. You need to have a custom die made to make them, and that is not cheap...we pay almost $1 per hologram and include 3 per coin. We do obviously have some profit in our pricing or why else would be doing all of this?

"I know i wouldn't buy one from someone I didn't trust" - The whole point of these is you not having to trust anyone...you make your own keys and attach the hologram.

Please show me where these have been counterfeited?

You forgot about the fact that we are in a free market. Anyone selling anything is going to sell above their costs. Period. They are not acting as a chairity nor is anyone else on the forum (for the most part).

If you think you can sell better coins then you should create better ones and sell them for less.

Those are chinese fakes possibly only silver plated , AFAIK .25 BTC was only minted in 2013, and .10 BTC in 2014.

Original coins were already mentioned on our forum:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=269535.0;all

Well a couple of things...
It takes a lot of time and effort to make your own coins and it is expensive. If you look at every physical coin made for crypto all of the nicer made ones carry a large premium because of the expenses involved. When you mint a copper or brass coin everything is less...dies are cheaper, materials, etc.. If you have any other questions feel free to ask though!

You're so far off in your estimates, it's apples to kumquats.

First, the pricing PDF you showcased is for their discounted minting program for Military/Schools/Non-profits, which obviously does not fit.  The correct pricing guide would be here:  http://silvertownemint.com/Portals/0/PDF/custom%20prices.pdf

Second, back in 2014 when these were actually minted, silver was around $20/ounce, highs close to $30 depending on when it was bought, not today's price of just under $16.  Add for each round over spot at least $1, plus the charges for the blanks which is $2.50 from Silvertowne.  You're up in the mid-twenties at least already per round before anything else.

Custom dies can go anywhere from $200 - $5000 depending on intricacy.  Let's take a reasonable price for the dies, say $1500 for the front, because the Gen2 design was more intricate, and $500 for the back.  Pray you don't crack a die and have to re-create another set.  Typically you'll create two sets just in case for that very reason.

Each round comes with a set of 3 holograms, which as stated were around $1 each, so $3 per round, or $3000 for the batch.

There is a fee for the actual minting run, usually $250 - 500.  Not much, but we'll toss it in there.

Any idea how much it costs to package in capsules 1000 ounces of silver, then in tubes and boxes, and then ship it, oh, BTW, insured?  Tack on another easy $3000.  This is before any shipping cost back out to the buyer.

At this point you're up double what you initially thought it would cost.  For just materials.  No labor, no other incidentals for the process, not counting anyone's time.  It's a far cry from the estimate you thought, and the profit margin has also shrunk quite much.

Oh, and this:
Dream on.  There is no "smoother" part about the minting process.  All the above is a hard, set price, no matter whether you're minting your 3rd, or 300th batch of coins.  You get breaks on quantity of coins in the actual order, not the minting batch.  Even at 10k rounds, you're probably only shaving off a dollar or two from the cost of the silver blank, if you're lucky.

kingcolex have you ever had a coin minted?

No worries at all, and i have no issues with people asking this sort of stuff. I will make a more detailed post on all of the extra costs that are involved. We do make some profit, but it is less than you are guessing.

Interested in one of these bad boys.

Gold/Silver  8)

Are they still shipped from US ? If so, what is the package value on customs declaration - full price or is it buyer friendly? EU shipping.
Thanks :)

Yes, these are still shipped from the US. The value is set roughly at it's value in silver.

You missed the auction, forgot to bid or got outbid without knowing? Don't worry, all coins are currently 5% off. Get yours now. ;D

Never had any problems with my 2 silverwallets, no vat or import taxes whatsoever :)

You can just ask them to declare the item for a lower price...

The sale is hereby over.

I got three sample coins.
I liked them very much.

Guy

Do you mean that the sale is over or that the 5% discount is not valid anymore?

The 5% discount is no longer valid.

On the website I saw 1000 stated for the total mintage of pure silver coins, how is that distributed between the different designs?

I believe each design had a run of 1000 coins, with an additional 100 of the gold/silver made.  Each run of 1000 had the first 100 of them serial numbered, and the last 900 were just regular rounds.

Correct

Much appreciated, 2100 total is accurate?

As of today, yes.  If any future designs come out, then obviously the number will increase.

Cool, before confirming this it sounded like the Silver Wallet had an unlimited mintage and I was hesitant to buy one due to that.  I did a CTRL+F find on the first page of this thread a while ago and searched for "limit", "limited", and "mintage" of which I found no results leading me to believe this was not a limited mintage of coins.  It was only yesterday that I dug through the site thoroughly and found the 1000 number stated.

May want to add that information to the original post as it does make them more valuable and I probably would have bought one prior if I had known that. :)

Fixed that for you  :P

Thanks for the suggestion! I just added it to the OP. ;)

Very nice, are there any numbered coins left?  If so, please send me a PM.  :)

There are numbered coins left for Design two and the Design one /w Gold. Sending you a PM now.

The font on the back of these coins is seriously awful. They may as well have used Comic Sans. It's that bad and detracts from the whole thing.

Hopefully the next minting fixes that. It's good otherwise.

Hmm.. What suggestion do you have for a font then? Feel free to post something that might look better.

Most older coins around the world use Serif fonts, like for example your Garamonds, Baskersvilles, et cetera.

Here's a coin of the country I'm in:

http://dipologcity.com/PhilCoins5O.jpg

To me this looks like ITC Modern or Clarendon.

http://graphicdesign.spokanefalls.edu/tutorials/process/type_basics/images/clarendon.gif

You can say, OK, well that's not modern enough for me. Most modern coins use say some sans-serif, but not just any sans-serif, Optima is a popular one.

Here's a Canadian Maple Leaf:

http://buy-high-sell-higher.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/goldmapleleaf.jpg

New Philippine peso:
http://www.tourism.gov.ph/Style%20Library/en-us/Core%20Styles/images/philippine-peso.jpg

http://www.identifont.com/samples/adobe/Optima.gif

Now, the font on the obverse is a good choice. It's a rare one, I don't think I've ever seen Gotham on a coin, but it looks good to me.

https://i.imgur.com/2I8v37v.jpg
http://cabs.msu.edu/_files/images/img2_Gotham.jpg

But then look at the reverse. You would be hard pressed to find huge bold letters on coins anywhere in the world, in fact in my research I found none. They just look silly and inelegant, like a comic book "WAM!" on a silver round.

http://a.pomf.se/zzjjhg.JPG

I actually haven't a clue what font this is. It looks to me like a hideous cross between Binner (https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/urw/binner/) and Alons (https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/bagraphics/alons-classic/).

As if this weren't bad enough, the kerning is off. Look at the space between "E" and "R" in SILVER as opposed to the space between "L" and "V" in "SILVER".

You might think the type is not such a big deal, but given how much choice there is in physical Bitcoin (and ideed physical silver rounds, because these are unfunded you compete directly with those ;) ), I would much rather have a well designed one than a silly one. Type is the most visible part of this coin since it takes up most of the reverse.

I appreciate the feedback and the research. I will be passing this along and see what they say about it. I have to agree with you that the reverse font does need some improvement.

Eh, I have a gold-plated limited edition Silver Wallet and I don't particularly think it's that ugly. Even if I try hard to find any errors, I still can't really find any.

They are nice, I'll vouch for that. Definitely a nice alternative to other options on the market.

Thanks! I agree the font is not ugly to me, but I would not mind seeing it updated for a new coin release.

I really don't agree with the 'silliness' of the design that you're inferring.  I get more of a professional and elegant impression.

In fact, I think these are the most visually appealing coins there are.

Indeed. I just picked up my gold-plated Silver Wallet (turns out it's number 47), and at least looking at the front it seems quite professional indeed. In hindsight I will say that whoever chose the font to be used on the back of the coin should probably have considered choosing something else, but it's not that bad in the end.

Who needs a Steam Summer Sale when we are doing a Silver Wallet Summer sale? Everything needs to go as we are about to release a new coin! Always wanted one of these coins? Well, now is your chance to buy one of them! You want more than one? I'll hook you up with sweet sweet deals (and no worries, I'm authorized to do so)!

They are still to pricey for your taste? No worries, there will be more than enough chances to win one in an auction.

Prices have been slashed quite a bit! I may try my luck in some auctions... When is the new coin set to be released? I assume it'll be silver too? :)

Soon™ - The next coins are pure silver and pure silver with gilt.

We will never release anything that is a worthless cheap metal (like brass/aluminum/copper/etc...). We have kicked around the ideas of some gold or platinum though  8)

Does that mean it's a Jumpgate release?  ;)
I know that there's a market for gold and platinum but is there really enough demand that would make it worthwhile to mint platinum and gold coins? I mean the costs of doing so is pretty high and you don't really know how many will sell with whatever premium you put on top.

I remember Blazed or Night Owl mentioned that they had a new design a while back, I can't wait to see it! I think their previous releases have been pretty well done. (I think the font looks fine as well, but that's just my opinion.) I love the 2 out of 3 I have, but I am a silver bug as well, so I might be a bit biased.  :)   Was very grateful to be able to participate in the SW sig. campaign for a free coin too.

I think a Platinum physical Bitcoin would be dope as hell, but I agree with AT101ET, I think that would be a hard sell right now unless you did an extremely limited run, and then you could get the people like Goat, otoh, bitmarket.io, etc. buying some maybe. Unless you could do a fractional Pt. coin, then more could probably afford one. I'm surprised Casascius didn't end up doing a Platinum coin after he did the 1 oz. Gold 1000 BTC coins, that would have been amazing!

If we do a gold or platinum it would be a very small run with pre orders (we would not need paid upfront, but would need a personal guarantee that you would buy).

Nice discount, looking forward to the Silver Wallet.  :)

Thank you for buying one of our coins digicoinuser! I hope you like it. ;D

We are still selling these coins at a very nice discount. Be sure to grab yours now!

Where have I seen these before? Oh yeah...Mike Caldwell had a thread about these a few years back, he called them Casascius coins.

Why do you claim this is a new kind of physical storage when it's been around since 2011. And to add insult to injury you practically copy Mike's design with your silver and brass version, not cool!

$80 is way too steep for a brass token. I wonder how many of these you're actually selling.

Our coins look nothing like Mike's and they are not brass. They are new as in something different...mike did not mainly sell unloaded coins. I always see you making snarky remarks in physical coin threads like you are some expert. If you think Mike invented adding some gilt onto silver coins you really are clueless.

Wow why so angry.  I dont have one of these (although its on the list) but you are kind of wrong in your post.  These dont look anything like cas coins, they arent $80 for a brass token they are silver.  Give a call to the nearest mint.  Check out how much custom coins cost to make.  And as far as new kind of storage, he isnt claiming to be the first.  Not taking sides here but what is it about them selling coins gets you angry?

He is probably just adding posts for his campaign is all I can guess. Obviously SILVER wallets would not be made of brass....

IMO, their prices are very reasonable, especially for such a nice coin. I believe they are the first to sell a no-private-key coin and are the first to sell a coin when you can generate and add your own private key to the coin.

I just won an auction for one today (this would be my second purchase of one), and I think silver wallets are a good addition to any physical collection.

50usd & 80usd are the 'MEGA SALE!' prices... for an oz of silver...???

$50 for a llow batch limited run coin. Yes $50 is a great price.  This isnt an ounce of silver its a custom coin.  Custom dies need to be made custom tooling....sorry its your guys thread but the short of it yes $50 is a GREAT price for a custom silver bitcoin. 

Not bitcoins!

OK, 'custom' but still an ounce (15-16usd)

(300% - 500% markup) HUGE MEGA SALE is 'GREAT' 


i disagree

but feel free to 'load up'

I wish I could buy silver at spot + have dies made + mint proof coins + custom holograms + coin slabs included for $16.00 too. The reality is that dies cost a lot of money + minting is not free + we actually make a small profit for all the effort.

To the haters and non-believers, please see this post I just wrote up yesterday on a similar topic. Obviously the coin I was originally writing that post for is a bit different, but the costs are similar. Okay then the Silver Wallets are not for everybody...  If you don't like it and want to go buy some shit buffalo generic silver round for spot + 50 cents go for it...  and don't post here talking shit, just move along. No need to post just to bash a product you are ignorant of, and where the hell you got brass from in the Silver Wallets thread, nobody knows...  :)

Come on Blazed, let's be honest about this:

1) Design 1 and Design 1 with Gold Trim are VERY similar to Caldwell's coins, the obverse side with the BTC is nearly the same. You have added some detail, but the foundation of this coin was first seen on Casascius issues.

2) Both designs are silver, Caldwell's coins (of similar design) are also silver. I never mentioned brass, in fact the first person to do so was you as you tried to misdirect my claim of how much your coins resemble Casascius. To even have a coin that's silver "with gold trim" is a copy from Mike, direct copy. Let's not look past this obvious point.

3) You claim this is a "new kind of physical storage" yet it's been around for nearly 5 years, Caldwell was first to sell them loaded and first to sell them unloaded as rounds. In fact, the only reason you can't sell them loaded is because the US Feds put a stop to Mike doing it!

It's cool if you want to also sell coins like this, I wish you good luck with it. But please don't represent the idea as original when it clearly isn't, to do so is deceptive...especially to newcomers in the forum.

And, for the record I think the price is fair - I'll take back my original complaint about that, it wasn't needed. I totally agree that coins like this sell at a premium above the metal value.

Thanks for hearing out my point of view. I'll try to keep my comments from coming across as snarky. I'm as much an expert about this as you are. I've put a lot of my own research into what people price these coins at and I think my opinions (on other threads), particularly about price valuations are valuable to insight that provide sellers and potential buyers with additional information to accurately gauge the value these coins have.

Hello Possum577. :)

You seem to be quite intelligent and well spoken, so I'm hoping that we are able to have a gentlemen's discussion about this.

While I do agree that one can easily see the resemblance to Casascius coins, it does not at all mean that Silver Wallets copied or stole anything from Mike. 

1)

Mike created a simple and clean image using the Bitcoin logo on a physical coin.  It would make sense for anyone involved in physical coins designed specifically for Bitcoin to use the logo in some shape or form. 

With absolutely no disrespect to Mike, this doesn't equate to Mike being the creator of such a design or resulting in any future coins to be made in similar fashion to be copies or replicates. I could provide several examples using coins and flags or other symbols, but I think one can easily draw the inferences I'm trying to make.

 
2)

Coin designing has been around for over a century and there are several thousand coins that feature silver with gold trim. 

Again, this has a lot to do with the fact that just because he was the first into the Bitcoin niche of physical bitcoins does not make him the originator and sole proprietor of such designs.  By your logic, you could argue that Mike has copied from the countless coin designers before him.  That is just silly. 

Mike simply had an inspiration to create his own take on a beautiful designed coin and that is exactly what Silver Wallets has done as well.

3) 

Silver Wallets are actually the first to deliver the ability to offer buyer funded Bitcoin physical coins with the use of private keys.  This is a completely solid and legitimate claim to "A new kind of physical storage".

Cliff notes;

Silver Wallets are beautifully designed.  They may hold some resemblance to other coins but are completely original and professionally crafted.

Also, a few notes in regards to price:

Silver Wallets does not do pre-orders of any kind.  They take all the risk of ordering a full line of products by themselves.  This takes an extreme amount of capital and means that they can easily lose money if they do not sell enough to cover the costs of time, effort, custom dies, other materials, design, packaging, marketing, and mint.

Silver Wallets has one of the very (if not the) best records for coin grading.  You'll be hard pressed to find a Silver Wallets coin that has been graded less than MS66 with most graded coins resulting in MS67 DCAM.

Got my gold glided coin today and it's realy beautiful.
I've had no problems with customs at all as declaration was filled out buyer friendly.
Thanks. ;D

I'm glad you like it fvs114!

I got my coin today. Thanks for the awesome deal 8)

Great points, great points. I think the conversation has run its course. I'm glad to see more talk of sales...here's a free bump just in time for people coming home from work around GMT!

$50 for $15 worth of silver  :o awesome sale bro

Yes, because there's absolutely no cost involved in the minting process, no cost for the dies, no cost for the holograms, no cost for the artist design work, no cost for the insurance and shipping from the mint, and oh yeah, because silver spot price is exactly the same today as it was when these were minted.

Awesome lack of understanding of the minting process and being a douche.  Bro.

You don't want to spend the money on it?  Your prerogative.  Let others choose for themselves.

Thanks for the free bump tho  ::)

Are they available for the same price as stated in the OP?

The price in the OP is the current asking price.

Awesome, I'll be monitoring this thread... just need to save up some extra funds to spare.  That #1st design with gold looks insanely nice and classy :)

Numismatic coins vs. Bullion coins

the coins look great but the price is still a bit high for me tbh.  I'm just looking to see if I can snipe one in the auctions, if I can't get one I guess I'll give in and just buy one from here.  >:(

It's not possible to snipe in the current auction (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1185370.0). Sorry monbux, but good luck anyway!

Just received my Silver Wallet Design 2 today and I was extremely impressed by the whole process. Ordering was extremely fast, easy and professional. Shipping was extremely quick, it only took two days to get to CA. As you can see by the picture below it is a beautiful piece of silver. I got it so that I can have a physical crypto around the house as a conversation piece and I couldn't be happier. Thanks Mitchełł  ;D

On a side not, if anyone would like to ELI5 what the equation on the coin means feel free to PM me (as not to clutter up the thread).  I understand it has to do with securing the Blockchain and has to do with the Blockchain versus an attacker chain but not enough to have a conversation about it. Thanks  :)

Hi, I just had two of these graded at ANACS - Here is how they came back. (There is no hologram on either, I left them alone before shipping out)!

I've just ordered another Design 2 w/ Gold to see if I can get a higher grade next time!  :P

Thanks again, Mitchełł! ;)

They look amazing and that's a pretty good grade. I hope your next coin gets a higher grade owlcatz! ;D

Bustabit is having an event in which you can win 6BTC worth of Silver Wallets. See the following thread for the first few contests: Bustabit :: Special event! Win Silver Wallets! (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1194812.0).

Remember: Don't gamble more than you can lose. Please don't try to purposely get them, it's possible that you lose more than you gain.

We are very happy with how Design 3 turned out. The beauty is in the simplicity. A true classic. :)

well said, I will use this reason when my customers ask for discount.

Very happy with my silver wallet. everything in order, now just to find a place to showcase this!...wait, theres now a design 3?!?! MUST...BUY...oh wait, my wallet says otherwise.  :'(

I just received my 2 coins, design#1 and design #2!
They're awesome!

The design#2 got his bigger plastic cover cracked during the shipping but nothing really notifiable.
The other one, I got it without a scratch.

I'm living outside the US and received the coins within a week.

Thnks :)

Will definitely use this service again and (hopefully) might catch one of the 2015 design.

I received my Silver Wallet with gold trim today and i can't stop looking at it. They look very very nice!

The whole process was a pleasure. I paid upfront, and got tracking key very fast. Shipping from US to EU
was blizzard-fast and the packaging was very professional. I am overall very happy with this trade and would do business again.

I recommend Mitchełł and his team. HIGHLY TRUSTWORTHY!

again, thank you Mitchełł!

Got my Silver Wallet, thanks OP

They are really nice coins, I love my set :):

Planning to get design #2 this December as a gift to my self for Christmas :)
Is the quantity of this silver wallets limited? Do I need to make a reservation?

Found the answer on another thread :).

I highly advise you to reserve a coin as only 100 of the Design 2 ones have ever been made (and only 5 of them are left).

100 coins have been made, all numbered. Non-numbered Design 2's were never made.

I would like to request one of the Numbered Design 2 coins if any are available.

Thanks!
HS

Yes sir! I'll send you a message with all the information I need from you.

Hey Mitchell, would you happen to know where I could purchase a coin slab that fits the dimensions of a series 1 numbered gold round which has a capsule on? I want something to put my round and capsule in and the coin slab that came with my round never fit it. :'(

All multiples of 25. Nice collection man...  :P

I.. have no idea, but I'm sure Blazed can help you out. ;)

Just wanna say, I ordered the numbered Design 2 two days ago, and it's already arrived!  ;D

Very happy customer here.  Of course, a review would not be complete without some pictures

Bought some for my collection  ;D

A few quick stats for collectors!

Silver Wallets Design 1 (numbered) coins 1-100 Sold Out

Silver Wallets Design 1 (non-numbered) coins In Stock (Total mintage 200 Coins)

Silver Wallets Design 1 Gold Trim (numbered) coins 1-100 only 2 left #90 and #96 Sold Out

Silver Wallets Design 2 (numbered) coins 1-100 Sold Out

Silver Wallets Design 3 (numbered) coins 1-100 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1201324.0

You know how to contact me minerjones. ;D

Down to only Design 1 non-numbered and Design 3  :o

Finally, they're now sold out. I ended up with #47 in the end :)

Now to HODL. ;)

Just got my Design 1 /w Gold coin today and I must say this coin is beautiful.  I would highly suggest adding it to your collection if your thinking about it. 

The eBay listings aren't up to date. These are the correct numbers:

We were going to mint 1000 of them, but decided to make more designs in smaller runs. Design 1 has sold extremely well.

We made that decision well before Design 3. Silver Wallets is going to step up their game very soon.

Have fun becoming the new Casascius. ;) I'll just sit here holding on to my Design 1 w/ Gold Trim, hehe...

I like your coins a lot more than anything that's currently out there, though. Beautiful design, especially on the gold trim coins. Much more aesthetically pleasing than the brass coins and copper coins I've seen, and even other silver coins.

Thanks! We will be adding a lot of options and new and better coins soon.

these still available?

There are plenty of Design 1 and Design 3 coins available. The others have been sold out though.

1 x Design 1

and

1 x Design 3 (number 80)

cheers bro, do you wanna inbox me with a BTC address and Total amount payable, i need shipping to Australia. Ill also send delivery address etc to you with my reply

A PM has been sent!

I received my Silver Wallets today and they are great ! Packed very very well in a box with a lots of bubblewrap  ;D

edit: small type-o

I'm happy to hear that you like your new coins wttbs!

I received a very nice package today which contained my freshly graded Silver Wallet set. They received the following grades:

• Design 1: MS-68
• D1 (Gold Trimmed): MS-68
• Design 2: MS-67
• Design 3: MS-68

As far as I know, MS-67 was the highest grade ever for a Silver Wallet, so I now own three of the highest graded Silver Wallets in existence. ;D

---

---

Excellent grades mate 8).

Can I get a silver wallet (Design 3) in exchange with one Ravenbit, one CryptoImperator and one Denarium coins? Since I have lost tastes in them :P I no longer want them anyways. Also Mitchełł loves collecting coins, so I assume it'll be a win-win outcome. :)

I'm not at liberty to make trades like that as I only sell these coins, sorry.

That's too bad. I was about to offer you one of my kidneys for those graded coins :(

It sucks to know that design #2 is already sold out. I am aiming for that as a Christmas gift for my self.
Any idea when it will be back on stock?

Well, those graded coins are mine, so I could trade/sell them if someone made me an offer I can't refuse. ;D

As far as I know, they won't be made again.

I'll be putting some coins up for sale very soon and they will include the following silver wallets:

Design 1 not numbered
Design 1 # 28
Design 1 w/gold #67
Design 2 # 76
Design 3 #6

If anyone wants to make me an offer before they go on sale please feel free ;).

Will you sell your Design #3 with the exchange proposition stated above + some more Bitcoins since its a #6 coin itself ? :)

Black Friday Sale? Black Friday Sale!

Till Cyber Monday you can get a Design 1 for $45 and a Design 3 for only $85! This price includes shipping costs. But wait, if you buy a Design 1 and a Design 3, we will only charge you $100!

---

That's a good deal mate 8). Any news on the next editions?

You won't get other design #2?

If there is demand for some more D2 we will do a small run of them.

Soon... ;D

I can't resist this new deal, I must have them! How many are going to be produced (total) of design 1 and 3? I'm did see the total quantity on the bottom of OP, but I'm I would still like some clarification.

What a great deal! Placed my order just now. Can't wait for them to arrive  :o

We produced 100 numbered and 200 regular "Design 1"-coins. All the numbered ones were sold out within a week, so those are no longer available. We also made 100 numbered "Design 3"-coins and they won't be made anymore in the foreseeable future. As stated above, we might do another small Design 2 run, but we aren't sure about that yet.

This is a very nice offer, only 100 $ both silver wallet coins. This includes international shipping? Send me a PM with the info to make the payment in bitcoins. Thanks.

Yes it does. I'll send you a message right now.

Sounds pretty good; thank you for the explanation. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on them and I might even write a small "review" if I have the time. I wish only for more deals in the future (Silver Wallet and others). Design 1 and 3 will have to enjoy spending time with my dear Kialara.

My coins just arrived. They look stunning! Are the numbered coins given out randomly or are there plenty of v3 coins left? Mine was numbered relatively low :)

Yesterday I received the coins that i bought on your Black Friday promo, they are really nice!! I expect that you make another batch of model 2 to add to the collection.

https://i.imgur.com/TycFncOm.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/kP7YARam.jpg

Design 3 really is lovely. Great work, guys!

https://i.imgur.com/nDYK7Zpl.jpg

More pics here: http://object2212.com/?p=1431 (http://object2212.com/?p=1431)

If any more of design 1 with the gold ever turn up, let me know!

dam dont know how i missed that black friday sale... :'(

$100 for both is a steal.

Yes, it was quite a steal.

Wil there be another blackfriday sale in near future?, I was thinking of buying design 1 and 3 for price of one.  ;D ;)

Who knows! ;D

I must admit I am sad I missed out on the black Friday deal as well.  However Will be watching for future deals :)

I'm auctioning off a 2014 design 1 w/gold #62, ANACS graded at MS65 DCAM here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1444713.0). :)

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1464862.0

Are these guys still active?  I went to the site and asked a question but hasn't get a response.

I wanted to order 6 design 1, along with 2 3-pack holograms.  But if I paid via Paypal, it doesn't allow me to order multiple items.

We are still active and I've replied to your PM!

I'll pick up a couple as samples, see if we can include these in our offerings
So a 1 & 3 for me please

You have got a PM as well! ;D

The sale ends today! Be sure to get your Silver Wallet now.

---

Get yours now!

---

Is this offer still valid?

That sale is no longer valid, sorry.

ummmmmmmmmm best deal ever?


love it , thank you so much !!!!

I'll take a $95 deal please. Thanks

D1 & D3 for me please :)

Viz

Awesome stuff!  I'll take a set please. Been looking to pull the trigger on these coins in the past but have had second thoughts, at this price though it's a real steal!

By a set I do mean one D1 and one D3. Thanks :)

IIRC I had reserved a D1/D3 combo, if in stock, I would take two of them, if not, the reserved one is alright aswell.

3 "sets" for me...thanks again!

goes down like gravy :)

I will be taking the D1 and D3 pair I reserved if possible. Thank you for a great deal!

I'll take 1 D1 and 1 D3 please!

Awesome !
SW1 as noted for me !

Sorry, minifrij snapped up the last D3. If an order falls through, I will contact you!

There are now only 14 more D1 coins left!

The sale is now over! Thanks for the business everyone.

Silver Wallets are indeed real silver as tested by buckrogers (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=189967)! Thanks a lot. We already knew this of course, but some extra proof is always welcome. ;D

---

---

Yes indeed , they came up as one of the purest actually along with some other items from OgNasty :)

thanks!

Nice! And good to know, regardless if one was worried or not, still nice to see stuff like this. What is that neat little machine you have, and where can I get it? And what's the cost?

I think I'll get my SW's soon enough, really looking forward to having them in hand :).

I didnt read this whole thread, but I saw that 100 of the first designs are number and then another 200 are not. If there are any numbered left I want one.

Numbered D1s have been sold out for ages.

Do you just follow me around on the board to answer my questions? Maybe the OP should be updated to reflect that

I'm an active collector, if I see a question I can answer, I try to help with my knowledge.
I think that's how a forum is supposed to work. If you would rather only talk to Mitchell, best write them a PM instead of posting publicly.

I don't see any specific mention in OP that there are numbered D1 coins left.

Ah. well I appreciate that, that is pretty cool. Do you have any cheap coins that youd be willing to part with?

I dont see any specific mention in the OP that there are not any numbered coins left.

I've updated the OP to better show which coins have been sold out.

https://i.ibb.co/Gd9dD0f/17106203.png

Any plans to make the Silver Wallet in a limited run of solid "Gold Wallet" at a reasonable markup over spot price of gold?

ooooooh i like that!!!

I've always loved the Silver Wallets physical bitcoins. One of my all-time favorites. :)

Me

Would they have the kind of money required upfront in order to produce a run of gold coins though? The startup capital required for that is waaaay more than what you need to produce a run of silver coins. Maybe if they raised money in advance like a crowdfunding campaign?

Just floating the idea. The only competition is Titan and they only sell funded, also charge a $375 premium over spot gold. I would prefer to buy a solid gold coin and fund myself and I like the Silver Wallet concept very much.

AFAIK there are no plans to make gold coins. However, I'll ask the guys and see what they think.

Actually, we were just discussing our plans for the future the past week or two.  Perfect timing for this thread to resurface :)

As of right now, there are plans for a Series 4 Silver wallet to be done (or D4, if you want to keep with current "design 4" for wording), which will probably be standard silver & silver/gold gilt like the last couple series.  We're currently figuring out logistics and would hope to be able to deliver something sometime around summer, if all goes well.

Since our art skills are limited to stick-figures, we are planning a fan-art contest for the design, with prizes for the winner and runner(s)-up (aside from being able to say you were the design artist for a Silver Wallets series, we will also give some real, actual rewards).

We have been talking about a number of things to do to bring some new ideas to the upcoming and future series, one of them indeed being a gold round.  It's all about working capital and demand, so most likely S4/D4 won't have a gold round, but depending on how we do with this next series, all things are possible.  I know for ourselves we all agree we would love to do it.

I'll be putting together more information over the next couple weeks and we'll get things rolling.

Very cool.  I didn't know you were a part of this project.

Jumped in during the Series 3 cycle, one of the previous partners wanted to explore other opportunities, so I acquired his shares.  I figured I was spending so darn much buying the things, I should probably just get involved :D

Oh wow, whats happening tak.  So there will be a series 4 SW?  Thats awsome news.  Love the SW and will look forward to it.  Welcome back TAK

Been crazy with life, and thanks, good to be back, it's been too long.  BTW, I still have something of yours, I haven't forgotten.  :)

I can confirm, we are planning a series 4 Silver Wallet, and the initial target is mid-to-late summer.  Now I guess I gotta get off my lazy butt and draw up the guidelines for this design competition, huh...

No rush TAK, will definately be looking forward to the release later this year.

I think a community designed round will be pretty cool. Anyone interested in a gold Design 1 or should we do a gold special edition?

Solid gold?  If so how many pieces would you guys put out?

Definitely. Would be interested in a 1oz gold Silver Wallets Design 1, if enough interest generates.  ;)

Same here. Will probably go ahead and buy a Titan because they are available but would still like one from your company.

Yep. I really want a 1oz gold coin with a silver plated BTC. Imagine how cool that would be?


Grab a Titan for sure that latest coin is amazing! I also have the 2014 gold Titan...I am always after a gold loaded coin  :P

Do you have an estimate price per coin? I'd be interested in picking up more silver wallets depending on the price. Also please get rid of those airtities with rings in them. :P

surely a 1/2 or even 1/4 oz makes much more sense if its solid gold?

A quarter ounce gold coin would be too small for the private key and hologram most likely. Half ounce could be the same diameter or close as the silver coins but would be quite thin.

Some more info after some discussion.

- Yes, we're interested in doing a special issue coin, solid gold is on the table but we're playing with design options
- We're considering a run of around 25 coins - fewer and the premiums would be killer, more would be difficult due to the cost of the batch run and we'd probably have to get pre-order guarantees if we were to go above 25
- We can't use existing dies from previous runs because gold is more dense than silver, and the coin dimensions would be smaller, so we have to either re-make dies with a previous design, come up with new artwork, or mix in another metal to alloy with to achieve the same dimensions to be able to re-use previous dies.  I mention this because it will obviously affect the pricing based on how much work/money needs to be put into the solution
- The coin would be most likely 1oz.  As mentioned by others, with gold anything smaller will not fit everything needed.  It won't be larger, as even at 1oz it's a smaller market due to the cost
- We have not discussed the holos, numbering, engraving/stamping or anything like that yet.  I think there will be some sort of marking to make it a special issue series, just not sure what yet.

Pricing is very hard to speculate right now until we figure out more of the technical parts.  If we have enough interest that we know we'd sell out, premiums could be adjusted accordingly, but we're so far away from that right now it's not worth any larger discussion.

This will not take away from our desire to issue a "normal" Series 4 coin in the traditional silver & silver/gold gilt like the past.  Stay tuned for more information on that.

Please keep the ideas and questions coming!

Most likely pricing would be around where the other series have been, but that's currently being discussed and we won't know until we get all the numbers in.  Silver spot has been reasonably cheap lately so if it stays where it is, that will help.

As for the air-tites, sure we can look at options for direct fit.

Very interesting and thanks for the update TAK. 

I'm glad to hear you've been involved behind the scenes and can't wait to see the new coin designs.  :)

Gold with silver plating  :o.  That would look nice on the D1.  Im excited to see what comes out.  These were always some of my favorite diy coins.

Have you considered using gold other than 99.9 purity? There's upsides and downsides to using less pure gold, the upside being it's easier to drum up interest due to the cheaper price (and it helps you as you need less capital to produce your initial run), the downside being that people might not be as allured by the coins if they aren't completely pure.

If you make a gold coin less than one ounce or less than .999 fine collectors tend to lose interest. Titan already has the funded gold coin market covered and they seem not to be interested in selling an unfunded coin. Silver Wallet could appeal to those collectors who want an unfunded gold coin as long as the premium over spot gold is reasonable, certainly no more than Titan charges. Also decoration with silver plating should probably be avoided.

I am sorry if I sound a bit nooby with this basic question, but I have explored the beauty of the collectibles in this forum just recently. So, what I do not understand is how do I conceale the QR code exactly? I get that I put the QR code into the collectible then what do I do to conceale it?

http://www.silverwallets.com/instructions.html for coins

also see https://i.imgur.com/VmsJX20.jpg for paper or polymer notes

Yeah, 3rd point above was about looking at mixing another alloy in to keep diameter, and it would also lessen the cost.

But BitcoinNewsMagazine is right, if you start mixing in and taking away the purity, it's not the same to collectors.

Each wallet ships with 3 self-stick holograms.  Once the code is put into the spot on the coin, you take a hologram and slap it over the code.  The hologram is only sticky around the edges, so it won't stick to the code and have any chance of destroying it.

The holograms are tamper-proof, meaning that if they are peeled, there's a residual part of the sticker left there so it can't be stuck back on over itself and look like it was never touched.  The residue can be cleaned off and a brand new holo applied for re-use, which makes these rounds useful longer.

Thank you for providing resources! I found them a sufficient amount of resources to clear up my questions.


Thank you!

I appreciate the efforts that you put into explaining it with your words. You answered some physical security questions too I would have had in addition.

Your replies were really helpful. I think, you helped not only me, but many others too who are newly looking forward to learning about Silver Wallets.

Hi here !

I'm not sure about if there is still any design 1 (non numbered) to sell ?

If yes, Should I contact you directly via private messages ?

I have 1.  PM me.

I'm sorry, yes, we still have one available. If you are still looking, feel free to hit me up in a PM or feel free to purchase it from BCB. ;)

Any word on a new series of silver wallets?  I believe last i heard something might be announced in the summer....

I think last time I checked the website said a new version was coming this year, but I can't get there from here, atm! :P

Last time I spoke to Blazed (a while ago), he said that he was still contemplating whether or not it is worth it. Something about previous supplier becoming too expensive or along those lines. So we might not see D4 but I sure hope it will happen. These coins are honestly some of the highest quality physical crypto I've ever held in my hand. And I've actually held a wide variety through this last year.

Hopefully Blazed or Mitchell knows more and can put our minds at ease.

All the information I have about a new coin has already been posted in this thread. Sorry to disappoint, all. :-[

Is it possible to purchase the hologram stickers alone anymore? I grabbed one at the nabc in chicago but have lost the 3 holograms it came with =/  I cant manage to get the website to load at the moment?

I have 2 spares I could send to you in a plain envelope for free (I don't have the coins anymore). Are you in the usa? If so, send me your address and I'll gladly send them to you free of charge. :D

I can also send you some for free. Just msg me your infos etc...

Blazed,

What's my #046 Silver wallet going for these days?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2544892.0

His is numbered so I would expect a little more, but who knows.

These are still my favorite diy coins, don't have many but I would think a low serialized coin would go for a decent amount.  Still waiting for the fourth to come out.  Blazed any plans?

Probably never going to happen so I wouldn't hold your breath.

Thanks for this!  I think I'll keep it for now.  A reminder of the good old days on otc!

Thanks to owlcatz and blazed for offering to help with my hologram shortage. I have recieved a packaged from blazed  with 4 fresh holograms I appreciate it greatly and also appreciate your offer to assist me to owlcatz. Thanks! ;D

Glad to hear that you got some more holograms xxlanyacolsonxx! Enjoy your Silver Wallet. ;D

No problem.

There are some seemingly conflicting infos around with regards to the mintage counts of un-numbered Silver Wallets. I'm finding varying numbers for D1, such as 1k / 500 / 200.

Could we please get a current statement on the numbers and future plans for the existing designs?

What exactly are you confused about? Some incorrect numbers have been stated in this thread, but the right numbers should be the ones in the OP:

---

---

Blazed made one 4 days ago:


It is quite a downer, since Silver Wallets are (still) one the most amazing looking coins out there (but I'm slightly biased). ;D

sorry, edited my post after you replying. Anyway, your post contains the info Im looking for, thanks Mitchell.

Happy surprise as I though there was 1k of un-numbered D1's.

No worries! Yes, Silver Wallets was going to produce 1000 pieces, but decided against that in the end.

Is that why numbered coins fetch a premium? 

Yes, there aren't many around and most people aren't selling theirs. This applies to most numbered coins though. ;D

Oh wow, didn't know you were behind silver wallets, great work Mitchel!.

I did not create Silver Wallets. I only helped them with sales related tasks on Bitcointalk, so others could focus on eBay, the company, etc.

Ah  ;D

I think these coins will always have a special place in bitcoin history due to their beauty and hiqh quality, regardless. ;D

Since http://silverwallets.com returns "The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable" I assume Silver Wallets is no longer in business and will not return.
