All reservations numbers with a strikethrough are coins that have been ordered and paid for. I will update all the groupbuy's coins once I have received payment for it.



A few small parcels have been shipped out. I will PM your tracking shortly. Please note that any orders placed directly through me from now will ship next week (18th July). All subsequent orders will be shipped shortly on some working day.

Thank you!

After finding the defect earlier, I was worried I may have missed some more. Unfortunately, I did.  Sad I will contact the respective buyers/reservers shortly to find some alternative. In the mean time, I have reserved the remaining non-defect coins until all coin defect issues are ironed out. Here is a list of the coins I have found with out noteworthy defects:

32 - scratches and 2 milkspots
53 - small scratch patch
54 - general scratching
61 - scratch and two small tarnish circles
62 - a spot on the raised quarter
75 - big fingerprint
86 - normal and hairline scratch patch

Again, I apologize for this. I am trying to avoid any unhappy customers.

One of the things I had to employ in my recent run of coins was take a period of time to closely inspect the coins once they arrived.

I got a mountable magnifying glass with an adjustable stand and used it with appropriate lighting to see blemishes, scratches, milk spots, missing gold plating. Of course no coin is perfect. But I did find some that needed to be "dealt" with.

It's a very tedious task. Very good of you to do this with your batch of coins.  Smiley

Thanks, smoothie  Smiley I am realizing very quickly that the improper lighting can very easily trick an untrained eye. Even though it's unlikely that I'll make more coins, learning how to inspect coins properly is valuable skill on its own.

How big a fingerprint we talkin' here on #75??  Cheesy
That was going to be my funded one Tongue


It's fairly big. Sad not sure why I missed it first time round! ...And also not sure why an employee from the mint would leave a fingerprint in the first place.

You got the End Date wrong, 11th is Monday

Sorry, a copy paste mistake. Yes, the 11th is Monday.  Smiley
749  Economy / Auctions / Re: Set of 3 Bitpieces - #4 on: July 08, 2016, 05:36:59 PM
As with the previous auction, the coins do not come with funding. The winner must let me know me know which coins they want funded or unfunded.

I have found that there is scratching on the bitcoin logo on coin 16. It is no longer reserved.

In the unlikely event that this happens, I will let the buyer/reserver know and work out a mutual solution.

-If you are part of minerjones's group buy, please pay minerjones when it is requested.

Let them know which coins you want and which you wanted funded etc.

Chronicsky is the winner! I will PM you with all the details soon Smiley thank you to everyone that participated!

About 5 hours left!
758  Economy / Collectibles / Re: Introducing the BitPiece! Reservations are open! on: July 07, 2016, 01:26:40 PM
Sales are now open! What does this mean? It means you can place on order directly from any of the available coins.

The format for ordering is:

Coin numbers:
Which coins to be funded:
Address:

and I will work out a price including tracked shipping.



"What about the group buys or my reservations?"

If you have a reservation, I would highly recommend that you add your reservation to Mitchell's group buy if you are located in the EU, or to minerjones' group buy if you are anywhere else. You may save money per coin and/or on shipping. I will ask group buys to close in 3 days from now.

If you are in the US and want funded coins, you will have to be part of minerjones' group buy. When the group buy closes, I will have another way to ship to the US shortly.

If you would not like to be part of the group buy, then PM with the format above to place your order.



If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask or PM.



EDIT: To avoid scammers, pay to only this address if you order through me:

EDIT 2: Key generator and unique first character checker added to 4th post of the thread!



759  Economy / Collectibles / Re: Introducing the BitPiece! Reservations are open! on: July 06, 2016, 08:48:50 PM
miffman, I apologize, but can you remove both my reservations (47/48)? Thanks! Sad

miner - if you read this, you can remove me / those 2 from the group buy, or I'll just post over there later... thanks.


No worries, list updated Smiley
760  Economy / Collectibles / Re: Introducing the BitPiece! Reservations are open! on: July 06, 2016, 04:14:29 PM
Is there a timeline for shipping and/or group buys to be finished?
I did not see a mention of this in the OP.

thank you

There is no confirmed end date for group buys to be finished, but I'd say about one week left. If you or Mitchell would like to close the group buy earlier, that's no problem too.  Smiley

I will post a confirmed time here saying how many days are left in the next day or so.
