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.

What do I get when I win this auction?
You can pick a "Design 1", "Design 2" or a "Design 1 w/ Gold trim"-coin! Whatever you pick, it will come with a slab and 3 holograms.

The backside of the "Design 2"-coin looks the same as the "Design 1"-coin. And this is the backside of the Gold one. (https://i.imgur.com/ilSqZuR.jpg)

I guess I will start you of with 0.15, this is pretty cool. What kind of shipping do you use?
Goodluck with sales.

So when you peel the sticker off of the back does it ruin it like on the Casascius coins?

It ruins the hologram and leaves VOID all over the place. You do get 3 holograms with each coins so you can re load them with a fresh private key + hologram!

I think it is very interesting that most physical coins are almost never used to actually store bitcoin for any purpose.

In theory they should be used for a way to securely store your funds, a cold storage like mechanism. But instead they are generally kept as collectables

I'll confess that I have never actually loaded one of my physical Bitcoins. I only collect them.

Same here, unless they come preloaded when I bought them. I suppose I'm a sucker for shiny things. But it's nice to have the option to store some bitcoins into a physical coin using these tamper-proof holograms.

I already have a design #2 and also have to admit that I have not yet used it as wallet. I dont want to ruin the coin. Anyway I might be interested in a gold plated one. Just to clarify here, because the title says "You pick!" and the OP states that I can pick any of the 3 coins (design #1, design #2, gold plated design #1). The bet is for any of the three coins? Im asking because the store price for the gold plated is obviously higher. Another thing I am curious about -> are the gold plated ones numbered?

I know the answer looks obvious, but I want to rule out an error before bidding.

Yes, you can pick any of the three coins, so yes, you could go for the gold one (which I presume most people will). The gold trimmed coins are indeed numbered.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Around ~12 hours are left until this auction is over!

Just ~2 hours left!

Only 25 minutes left. If you want to bid, now is your chance!

I believe I won.  If so, please confirm in this thread and I will send payment to the address in the first post.

I believe it would be foolish not to choose the gold trim, no?

I will PM shipping instructions along with transaction ID.

Cheers!

This is the winning bid. I'll sent you a message with all information required and the payment address (please double check the address with the one in the OP).

This auction is now closed.

It would be very foolish indeed, hahaha. I've sent you a PM with all the information needed and I'll be locking this thread, if you don't mind of course.

Lock it, I am headed to the PM now.  You will have the transaction shortly.

Cheers!
