I've discovered that it is legitimate, but additional fees apply for international shipping, insurance, etc.

Has anyone bought bitcoins from this site (and actually received them)?: http://physicalbitcoins.openbtcshop.com/

Prices seem too low to be true. I would love to be proven wrong though. If you can attest to placing an order and receiving it from this site, please post a reply!

Can anyone testify to buying coins on the site the poster provided a link to...this one: http://physicalbitcoins.openbtcshop.com/

Honestly I think its a scam. As OP broke it down, it would be impossible for someone to sell coins this cheap unless they bought like a million of them. If anyone has made a purchase on there and gotten it, let me know!

No offense to anyone wishing to donate sperm, but I meant it when I said it is harder to be chosen as a sperm donor than it is to get into Harvard. The sperm banks run tests on you like you wouldn't believe. Its not like they're trying to find alpha male sperm or anything, but they do absolutely everything in their power to make sure that that sperm would make a healthy baby.

As far as paint thinner and fertilizer-I had no idea sperm could be used for those. I also have no idea how I got into this conversation.

It would cost you $200 for the die (which lasts forever), and there is a minimum order of 100@$2.75over spot of your custom rounds.

I just looked quickly to give you an idea. I'm sure you'd be able to find a less-expensive method.

Goof luck!

do those prices include shipping?

That is just absolutely disgusting.

I think it'd be awesome if you made the coins out of silver. That way they would retain some value AND be a collectors item even after they're spent.

lol I love it, no bullshit just ask straight up

So, I have always wished that there were more people into rare coins who are also into bitcoins. But, its all Bullion. You might see the occasional Morgan Dollar on BitMit (careful! Morgans are the most faked coin!). But really, there aren't any rare, numismatic coins available for sale for bitcoins. I created the site below to try to change that. If you're into rare coins at all, or you just think they're cool, join the site! Rare, numismatic coins are not just something you collect for fun-they're an investment. The metals marked is volatile-especially lately. Numismatic coins hold their value, and only increase as time goes on. They are not subject to falling bullion prices, because you aren't selling them for the precious metal content they might have-you're selling them to a collector. One thing I have learned is that there is ALWAYS someone looking to buy any rare coin you might have.

Hi,
I am looking for any Casascius coins that have been spent. The back does not even have to be clean. I'm interested in any Series/Denomination. I have silver and many other things to trade (bottle of Cuban Rum posted for close to $100 on here, expensive rare coins, etc). An offer I think  is fair is that for 1BTC or 5 BTC Used Coins (I don't care the year/series) I will give you $1 Face Value of 90% Silver US Coins. I'll even (to the best of my ability) allow you to select whether you want dimes, quarters, or half dollars. If you want to propose an offer, by all means please PM me. I just like using old Casascius coins to hold my bitcoins (I put my own hologram on back). I store basically all of my coins offline (a little paranoid), and this is the coolest way.

Remember-if you have any spent coins that you're even mildy interested in selling/trading, please PM me. I have a feeling we can work something out.

I like the variety of things I'm seing sold

Just make sure the gloves are powder-free..VERY important.

Nice, so price doesn't go through the roof-I assume. I'll talk to some friends to see if theyre interested, too. I'll let you know.


Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I am into collecting coins, and have always wished to see more numismatic (collectible/rare-not bullion) coins available for sale in bitcoins. So, the other day I registered the domain name "bitcoinnumismatists.com" (for only 50 cents at www.networksolutions.com/Domains - take advantage of that deal before it expires!). I used a basic site site builder to create an interactive forum where users could post classified type ads ("wanted" and "for sale") of rare coins available for bitcoins.
I was happy to see that within a few days I already had a couple posts (I have advertised on this forum and only this forum). One was a "wanted" listing for pre-1933 US gold-no sketchiness with this one.
The next was a "for sale" listing for an 1889 Carson City Morgan Dollar graded AU 55 by PCGS. That coin is worth, conservatively, over $6,000 (http://www.ngccoin.com/poplookup/NumismediaPrice-Trends.aspx?c=17190&g=50).

Now, that was out of my price range so I asked the guy if he had any other coins. My thinking is if you have a coin such as this, you probably are a pretty avid collector. He said that he did not. Red-flag #1

I kept looking at the picture he posted (see ones below), and something just looked wrong. I took a couple of my coins in PCGS holders to compare. There was DEFINITELY something wrong. What pops out most, and what you will probably have the easiest time noticing is the spacing between letters/numbers/words. On the fake one, characters and words are spaced noticeably further apart than on a real one. Also, the slab is just different, and the coin contained in the holder looks like it is of poor quality and is definitely not an AU 50 coin. The scary thing is though, you REALLY have to be familiar with coins, etc in order to notice the imperfections. Just on one note, if you see a graded  coin you want to buy, I would be happy to verify its authenticity for you (as long as pictures are in good clarity).

Now, please let me explain how this guy is such an idiot:
This thing will never sell, period (unless its to another STUPID scammer). He picked a fake $6,000+ coin to buy. Don't you think people at that level of collecting (not EVEN that level) can spot this fake from a mile away? And its not like you can sell it at a discounted price...grades standardize prices for coins. If his is even barely lower in price than a REAL 1889 Carson City Morgan, people MIGHT get suspicious

I found this gem, too: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/PCGS-AU50-1889-CC-Morgan-coin/666985659.html

Looks a little familiar I bet, huh?

Finally, please read our discourse on the forum, it will entertain you for 30 seconds

Sorry if that is in bad resolution.
Bottomline: Don't deal with this guy EVER and be careful about buying coins (ESPECIALLY Morgans). And finally, its kind of scary they have the ability to make these.

Explain them to me

I am not pulling anyone's leg here. Of course its always good to do your due-diligence, but no matter what the method there is always a possibility of being scammed. This method seriously minimizes it. There is a huge potential to be scammed for any transaction you do on here...so whats the answer to that? Its anyone's right to think what they want of this method, but I have sold (I don't know how many coins) $2000 worth of bitcoins using this method and never had an issue. If thats enough assurance for you, use this method. If you want to remain paranoid and think up every possible "what if" thats fine, too.

EDIT: Also, I have had people order one of my listings, and then when they see how it is they will receive their coins they ask me to cancel the transaction (likely would-be scammers).

Does the screenshot of the transaction on blockchain with timestamp mean nothing? You can think through what if scenarios all day, I'll be selling my bitcoins on ebay for literally almost 200% markup.

That's why they send you a message and you take a screenshot on blockchain. If the customer opens a case that item was "not as described" you have those to show eBay.
