From what I know, the hardcover is ready for submission. Elianite will be doing this very shortly, if not already done. Once submitted, if approved, printing can start in maybe 3 days.
All the autographs and holograms are done. I plan to ship the 20 sets for the AE on Monday to minerjones.
Books will be sent to minerjones for distribution.
So we are getting very close.

Time for another update. The project is ready. I'm just waiting to have Elianite announce that the hardcovers are in stock before I take orders. Printing for the hardcover should start in about 3 days.
Pricing will be $495 per loose set, where I will likely only have 11 sets for sale, and offer up to 3 more sets (with serial numbers #1-3) by auction. I do not plan to do this project again, so this will likely be a one time opportunity.
Out of the 50 sets made, 20 are set aside for the hardcover Autograph Edition, 13 are given free to certain coin makers who signed early in the project, and 3 are reserved for minerjones should he wish to offer a regular hardcover or a previous softcover with a set installed.
Due to the discount given to 20 AE sets, and 13 sets being given for free, the few remainder sets will be needed to recoup my investment of time, effort, material & mailing expenses. Note there was a substantial effort & time on my part for the makers included as well as many, many other makers who did not participate.
5% of sales of the 14 loose sets will be donated to likely two charities, but I am open to other suggestions. One is for cancer research for children. My wife has a friend whose little girl is recovering from cancer and supports this specific charity. The other will likely be for literature for students in schools who cannot afford to purchase them due to their financial condition. Should anyone wish to contribute to these or other charities on their own, I would welcome their help when sales commence.
There will be in each AE and loose serial numbered set:
* 35 signatures: 31 coin makers, 2 people that wish to remain secret per request, my sig, Elias sig, * Bitcoin Penny unique doodle * defcoins' unnumbered black poker chip * 24 coin maker holos (The AE will not have the Genesis holo, whereas the loose sets will not have bhcoins holo) * my signed COA with hologram.
Complete list of 31 coin makers' signatures: (* makers included their holos too)
* Anarcoins (bigtimespaghetti) The Bitcoin Penny Co. (tokens only) * Bitpiece * BTCC * Criptoe (Guldencoin) * Cryptocracy * Cryptofreeze Cryptogifts (tokens only) * CryptoImperator * Cryptolator Cryptonic (tokens only) * CryptoVest * Defcoins (ometeotl) * Denarium * FiniteByDesign * Genesis Coins (20 Holos for loose sets only) Kialara * Lealana * Luckybit * Microsoul mjb Monetary Metals (tokens only) * Nasty Fans * NattyMind Satori * Serp * Shibanu * Silver Wallets * Supreme BTC TGBEX * TitanBTC Z Mint
Holos only: bhcoins (Reserved for AE only) Ravenbit
I hope to accept orders within the next two weeks, as soon as Elianite makes his announcement.

Amazing presentation. Quite possibly the nicest display case I've seen yet for a physical bitcoin item. Congrats.
BG4 does fantastic work.

I received my set of 3 of #14 coins. Two of the coins have a two tone design on the front and back. Nice design.

I'll let Elias chime in. From what I know, we are very close to having it sent to print. The autographs and labels will be worked on this weekend so I will be able to ship those to Minerjones soon. I have to divvy up 20 sets to him and create COAs with the final list of all makers.

Miami is a customs station. I've had stuff held there for a day or more for them to inspect international packages.

9/10 of the coins have been offered to previous notable customers, privately, and are are already sold and shipped. There is one left that will be auctioned in the following days, so stay tuned!
Original price was 450$ + 0.5 BTC for funding (shipping included).
Guess I wasn't notable either. Feels like a slap in the face that only the elite gold-owners need apply. I'm fine with a gold coin limited to 10, since not everyone will be able to afford the markup and spot price of Gold, but it would have been nice to be given a chance to preorder this, especially for those others who supported CI from the beginning.

As far as the autograph labels/ holos go, I'm waiting on Supreme BTC and Silver Wallets. The last post in my Autograph thread in my sig is up to date regarding what's included.
