1725  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [Ideas] What's next for BTCC Mint? on: August 03, 2016, 09:02:57 PM
I would love to see a Platinum 1BTC coin released. I do not think anyone has dropped a Platinum coin yet.

The problem with Platinum is similar to the use of Gold and Silver, which I have mentioned before:

Essentially, certain countries have very strict restrictions on the import and export of precious metals, such as Gold and Silver.  The countries I can think of are USA and China, and possibly many more.  These rules affect our exporting (from China), and will affect how your country receives them via customs.  This is especially true of the precious metals get made into "coin" form, which could trigger real money mintage and currency issuance issues (regulatory and legal liabilities).

Basically, I foresee this as a whole mess that we really don't want to get into (unless we were our own government and had the banking of a central bank!)

Your thoughts?

Or, hope to get your understanding on this matter... that we're almost never going to be able to make and sell coins made of Gold, Silver, or Platinum.

The only exception would be for us to make them, and you come over here to pick them up in Shanghai.  For that, the production run would be really limited, and the costs and premiums could be quite high.  

Now, if there's enough interest, anything is possible.  If you guys really want it, please help gather people, pre-order, and we can consider doing a custom run for really low volumes, so that everything is pre-sold and paid for, and never listed on the store.

thanks,
Bobby


there is ANOTHER way.....

Coins made in EU/USA and you apply holos and codes HERE....

This would make them easier to sell/move.

caveats would be  -
Dyes and stamps for production.
Confirmed order for precious metal coins - possibly paid upfront.
Security while you "create" them?
Storage of coins while waiting to be sent, you'd need a trusted person this side of the world. Not impossible but would require some work unless you have someone in mind already.

I see,  the price actually goes down to $5 a coin I failed to mention that.  The hologram would stick to the back. I have already messed around with stickers and the like

If I go with poker chips there is no indenting to put the private key. That's why I think it would be better to just print a nice design

You are of course right about the indent and that's something that, if the design is of a high enough standard and the chips of good quality I think would be acceptable. The alternate view would be to get them "routed" so a small indent is created there, but as with all things, add a process and you're adding cost. Lots to research and time to spend...

Numbering was also another issue with the choice being "on holo" etching or "on chip", but then materials plays its part in that drama too....

As a result of our previous chat I did actually follow up with some manufacturers and holo makers.... it was an interesting pursuit and one that may yet yield dividends. Wink

I'm going to withdraw from my purchase.

I appreciate the effort you have put in but these, as they are at the moment, do not reach our desired quality standards for retail or resale to a consumer market. They just won't stand up, sorry.

If you can resolve the issues of finish and overall quality I'll re order.

Thanks and good luck

For additional clarity. The above is a mixture of sources.

The quote from me above was in respect of some coins that I had bought from Matthew and was subsequently requested to return.

the rest of the information is taken from Elias's Encyclopedia of Bitcoin.

I still have the original email requesting the return of the coins. Mail dated  03/06/14

".... and I will replace all affected coins free of charge obviously. However all 12 of the ones I sold to you are affected. Do you have any of them left?
Regards,
Matthew"

As items go these coins are, I believe, quite rare as most customers returned their faulty coins. I was unable to at the time and them forgot as life got in the way. A shame on one level as I missed out on my BTC but history seems to be repaying me Tongue

Of the 12 I had, I know of only 2 of them (that I gave away to friends and family) that are in "safe" hands, I have 3 left and have sold 1.
So, that's 6 of the 12 with definite provenance and still in "circulation"

If there is a public address on the coin and no hologram, where is the private key?  Wink

It gets sent to you on laser etched Toast I've heard....
1736  Other / Archival / Re: . on: August 01, 2016, 08:19:59 PM
Where does one usually buy such coins? ....
1737  Other / Archival / Re: . on: August 01, 2016, 06:45:23 PM
Thoughts? Gorgeous looking coin, novel holo design and a new approach to it i.e. The holo doesn't take the whole coin face up leaving more space for cool design.

Personally, I like it because it's so different in a variety of ways from the majority that have gone before it.

These are the 5 designs so far. Are there 4 of each making the target 20 OR is there another 15 designs yet to be disclosed? Are you allowing input on the design for the remaining 15 if so?

CENTAUR
