That all silver 10 BTC Casascius coin is one of my all time favorites. A great collectible for sure. I’m tempted to bid on it so that I can have one I actually see. It’s been so long since I’ve seen mine in storage, at some point it’s like I don’t even really own it. These would be baller pieces to carry around with you in your pocket and you’d get to see them!
Even better... get Hodlsmith to put one of these in one of their watches... the ultimate bling!! https://www.hodlsmith.com/
I have a graded Titan 0.1 btc coin as well which is most likely the 2018 2fa version (creation time was 05.28.2018).
It also has a COA.
Am I have to keep it forever and let it be there?
I don't recall any Titan coins being dated after 2017... thinking the 2017 0.1BTC were the last coins they produced, and all were PK (Private Key) from what I have seen.
Can you share the COA/hologram code to me in PM.. I can verify if it is a PK or 2FA for you
Having worked with ChiBitCTy over the years to find one-offs and obscure physical cryptos, we have come to the conclusion it is mostly a translation barrier when seeking these coins out online...
I own one. I regretted buying it before you shared this news. It's just never going to be worth anything and it has a sad spirit, in that it has no connection with or commitment to bitcoin; Hatton is just selling crap they they plaster the Bitcoin symbol on.
after digging thru my database - I have located where I got mine. From you lol it was a huge lot of items
I guess having a limited minting counts for something; imo this is crucial to being counted as a physical Bitcoin. But kinda funny that they stress “ONLY” 5000 will be minted.
If these are .999 silver, a 5000-coin mintage is a huge undertaking.
Some of the forum mints are only a few hundred.
Somebody is devoting at least $150k to this poor looking mint design.
Whoever is minting these has seriously gone on an undertaking.
Maybe they only mint XX amount of coins at a time? From the post above, looks like they are just silver plated, so even if they had all 5000 coins minted at once, would not be that much to make that many plated-alloy coins

This is the PK version which doesnt need the 2fa shit from Tim right? I didn't follow the whole drama but it seems that some of the 2fa coins weren't actually loaded, right?
Correct... from what I have seen/held in hand, is that ALL of the 2017 0.1BTC Titan coins are Private Key (PK) versions AND use the first-bits as their code on the hologram Just peel and redeem
And correct, apparently there are a few 2FA coins that were never "funded".. but this might have been a case of customer not confirming reception and load never sent. I know quite a few coin makers ship this way to prevent any lost BTC in case the coins go missing/stolen
