There would also be a need to generate the wallets / keys to place under the holos. They could all be self funded if needs be.

The more I think on this, the more I like it. If / when bitcoin value increases again, I love the thought of the book doing the same

Unsure a maker of assembled coins would want their holo stickers out in the wild. Blazed / Silver Wallets is a good shout, as the silver wallets are issued DIY, and the stickers are available as separates already.

Numbered holograms, to match the X / 100 number ... ?

How expensive would that be (and how long would it take)

I too would pay for this to happen.

I also like the idea to fund. Just a nominal amount, even a single satoshi, the amount isnt important. But it time and date stamps the release of the book, and the date of issue. A description could be placed on the Blockchain ... "The Encyclopedia of Physical Bitcoin and Crypto-Currencies copy X/100"

This is too perfect not to be done. A book about physical wallets, being a physical wallet itself - GENIUS

Like that idea !

Does it state anywhere on the cover, or inside page that this is the first edition ..... ?

Thanks ! By the time I have scrolled up to the top, I have forgotten what was at the bottom. 

I cant keep track of it without a description next to the item number ! (it doesnt take a lot to confuse me ...)

Back with better focus, by blocking out the text ... so you need to zoom in on high res image

Hope that helps

I will do some images myself tomorrow (thinking high res using my scanner). Need to sleep tonight, now though.

One near centre, within the B, and smaller one directly above the O of bitcoin are on the coin . Pics also didnt have the cleanest slab, so I will clean before doing my own

Heads up, I will be closing this thread down, and listing a new thread early next week, with a lot more coins in. Still mainly Casascius, but a few others also. Wider variety of coin types and wider variety of grades. (including 5BTC series 2, graded 67)

1Ag1SP58. ANACS reference 4630093

Fully funded, unredeemed.

This is a lovely coin. Physically, it looks a good strike, nice mirror finish, well centred hologram, and well centred public address.
In my opinion only recieving the 68 due to the 'milk spotting' that can be seen in the image on the none hologram side (in the middle of the B at the top, and a little in the bottom matt finish left sector). Please look at the high res pictures and judge for yourself. (If further pictures are required, please let me know)

Good luck. Happy Bidding

I would have a little flutter on 60 / cleaned (66 is free for someone elses punt)
