As much as I share both your sentiments from a technological standpoint, we're talking about a piece of metal with a sticker on it.  

Simply put, I do know what I want (regardless of artistic design/shape - I trust wheelz would come up with something satisfactory) and maybe I didn't phrase it correctly above.  I would prefer my collectible coin/piece of metal to be made of a precious metal rather than a base metal.

I didn't dislike the distribution model but was off-put at the amount of alts that were not favorable.  I thought it was a really successful run for wheelz and I wanted to give my input that I would like Bitcoin and Silver.

Have you thought about a Bitcoin Penny Limited Ed. Silver version?  

That leopard wood looks really nice when laser engraved.  Good luck with the sale! 

Thanks, those are the two titles with the most value in your lot so hopefully you can achieve your asking price.

I deal with these N64 games heavily and there are a few issues with the cartridges that cause them to be worth less but I have no doubt they will sell since they are great games.   

FYI, I would pick them up for $60/ shipped at the current condition with the label damage & plastic scratches/dirt but I would recommend you hold out for a little while and try to get your asking price if you don't need the BTC immediately.

I'll echo the bitcoin sentiments, I was put off from purchasing more since I couldn't justify spending more than I would for one coin to try and get "that coin".

I also agree on the silver/gold aspect as I wasn't even aware that mine were gold plated until I read that numbers 1-10 were always gold plated.   

I'd like to see a small batch of pure silver Genesis Bitcoin coins (or gilded) for users who know what they want and are willing to pay for it.  I would be interested for a price of ~$65-80 for a 1oz silver Genesis coin.  Not sure if it's doable but figured I'd throw it out there.   

Thanks for the quote.   

The price is a little too high for my taste since they don't include mint condition manuals and I think I will pass without seeing images of the backs & cartridge pins.  These pictures are needed to command high collectors value as there is nothing to separate your listing from the $35 BIN listings on other sites that look identical (there were many copies of these games produced).

Just wondering, how did you come up with your pricing figure for these two games?

What is the price for Mario Party 1 + 3 shipped to the US?

A forum usually contains a wealth of discussion/information and the site you linked to doesn't even have enough content for 1 blog post.  

Much appreciated.

Correct, I am not placing a bid currently as I'm simply confirming the total amount I must have in order to bid on this auction.  I understand that I wouldn't place my starting bid at 3.2BTC, but I would need to be holding 3.2BTC total in order to place a 1.35BTC starting bid if I am reading everything correctly. 

Just confirming that the total value to be funded is 1.85BTC + 15 LTC making the starting bid (including coin funding) - 3.2BTC + 15 LTC?

Thanks for your interest.  You would load these like any other physical coin by sending funds to the public address/key.

The full list of public keys can be found at Ravenbit's site: Node Bronze Public Address List

If you purchased a coin, your coin would be one of the keys in the list.

BTCump, a couple more coins have been sold and a discounted price for 2+ coins is posted.   

Everything looks great so far, can't wait to see the gold ones in person.   

Thanks again, may I ask who is the manufacturer of the bars you are selling?

Thanks, are they produced by the same manufacturer?

Are these endorsed by f*D/made in collaboration with?

Awesome, looking forward to the coin!

Very cool, I've heard about the sulfur method but haven't given it a try.  In my last post when I was referencing contact metal in respect to heat toning, the contact metal is the metal that is transferring the heat from the heating device to the item to be toned so no HAZ's appear.

Can't wait to see the rest of them when completed.   

Thanks for the information, I wasn't thinking chemical as I thought the holograms were still applied but that makes sense.  I have experience with heat toning but it depends on the contact metal and temperature control to get a clean appearance.
