Up for auction is the #27 set of signatures and holos for the Encyclopedia of Physical Bitcoins.  

I do not plan to do this project again, so this will likely be a one time opportunity.  These labels may be used for previous softcovers, current hardcovers, or kept for future editions of the Encyclopedia.  A book purchase is not required, nor is a book included.

The back of the COA will have a numbered list that will match to a number on the back of each signature/holo, so someone will know who is who.  A black 10 3/8" x 4 5/8" genuine leather album is provided.

Out of the 50 sets made, 20 were set aside for the hardcover Autograph Edition, 13 were given free to certain coin makers who signed early in the project, and 10 more sets have been sold.

STARTING BID: 0.25 BTC
MINIMUM BID INCREMENT: 0.01BTC
END TIME: TUESDAY, MARCH 14, 2017, 4:30 PM EST

NO SNIPING: Any bid made in last 15 minutes will extend the auction 15 minutes beyond end time until no new bids are made.
PAYMENT: 123cCVQwF2rh8Stwrrgm1QRcHnPdKZkNHw
SHIPPING (USPS PRIORITY MAIL): US: free / non-US: 0.03BTC

There will be in each AE and loose serial numbered set:

* 35 signatures: 31 coin makers, 2 Kialara artists, my sig, Elias sig,
* Bitcoin Penny unique doodle
* defcoins' unnumbered black poker chip
* 25 coin maker holos (The loose sets will not have the bhcoins holo)
* my signed numbered COA with hologram.  

Signature labels are 1" x 3".  Most holos are affixed to 1/2" x 3/8" smaller labels, though some are loose.   Both labels are acid-free, archival paper on foil-backing.    Please note that these labels will add thickness to the pages, so be aware that pages will not lie as flat.

Received my refund today for 2BTC.  Strange though I didnt hear from them after repeated emails and PMs on my part.  But I'm fine now.

Richard... I sent a PM to you now.  I'm following up on our emails from a few days ago.

Thanks
Howard

Also funding has been confirmed.  Thanks Tim.

Also received mine as well.  Sent Tim a PM now to fund my two coins.

J.R. replied back to my email today saying they would repay the BTC value.   

I can confirm my 2BTC funding was stolen as well.

My 1BTC is still intact at the moment 1FF1NtAMX7BTrCxN6fjwNDNuXRmvserH1p

Yes, Bitbills are considered the first physical wallets....before Casascius.

I also have #2,3,4 available, but I may either hold onto those or offer at a later date.  But otherwise, these are the last for sale

#3 of each finish please, pre-assembled.

Elianite, from this forum, wrote the Encyclopedia of Physical Bitcoins.  It has information about every coin produced to date.  The hardcover is slightly more recent.  You can also purchase certain versions direct from minerjones.  Some are autographed by coin makers, and the authors.

defcon's poker chips look fine in my opinion.  I dont know what beef you have with defcon, but he's been fair to me.  

And I purchased his poker chips simply to give people something different and unique, and the fact they were less expensive to buy in large quantities because they were poker chips.  I didnt have to buy them and give people something other than signatures and holograms.  

It was supposed to be a coin not offered yet anywhere at the time, but since things took too long with the Encyclopedia, defcon needed to offer those to the public after some time had passed.

You sent me a request to pay for the auction last night at 8:21 pm EST.  Its now the morning.  You've got a lot of nerve giving me negative feedback after expecting payment immediately.   Your earlier PMs are rude as well regarding the preorder.

I'd suggest learning some manners, if you want people to purchase from you.   You really expect me to pay now, after that?

You even said in the auction, that my bid was invalid.

And by the way, these are by far the ugliest coins I have ever seen, and I've seen a lot of coins. 

Yes, it should have

The book is the softcover Sig Edition #7/25, which had another number stamped in the book, 7/100.  It has Casascius signature and the authors.  Additionally, he has the #7 label set I offered with about 31 coin makers, other than Casascius, so they complement each other.  I didn't ask Mike Caldwell to sign the label sets so that the owners of the sig Edition still had something special.

My sig discusses the label sets in more detail if you're curious.
