Title: Re: [WTS] Weekend Sale Bitcoin Coldcoin Spy coins Post by: BitcoinNewsMagazine on January 26, 2018, 09:00:38 PM I bought one of these last year from @vizique and you have to see one in person to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship. This is one drop dead gorgeous coin. The Encyclopedia says only 100 were made and construction is gold plated alloy. It may have been too expensive to produce for the maker to sell at a decent profit, who knows? Get some before they are gone.

They were sold on ebay and I believe through a website that was built for the coins. Title: Re: [WTS] Weekend Sale Bitcoin Coldcoin Spy coins Post by: snarfbag on January 27, 2018, 01:54:11 AM I purchased one from viz a little while back. It's an exceptional coin and I like the hidden storage feature. For anyone that wants long-term microSD storage using a coin like this, I recommend Swissbit: https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/swissbit/SFSD0512N1BM1TO-I-ME-221-STD/1052-1202-ND/5762188
These are basically military-grade microSD cards that should hold information for at least 10 years. Most USB / microSD flash drives will degrade and not retain their memory for anywhere near that length of time.

I'd have to imagine there are better prices though, $20/512mb? Agreed, they are impressive and actually work when fitting together/opening with the tool which I didn't expect.

That's accurate, just confirmed the address via an old bookmark I had. :) Title: Re: [WTS] Weekend Sale Bitcoin Coldcoin Spy coins Post by: ChiBitCTy on January 27, 2018, 04:44:36 AM I purchased one from viz a little while back.

I agree this coin is a must have for any collector. |
