I am making the sales and distribution of my coin as unique as possible

Seems to be working.

I like your coins and want to purchase them. You can do as you like, but why do you make it hard for people to buy?
1125  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [RAFFLE] #38 2019 sail the high seas on: October 15, 2019, 01:02:31 PM
Because these are going to be sold different. I am debating that after the auction ends if I just throw out the other 88 coins.

Um . . .  OK. 

OR. . .  Here's an idea. Hear me out. Just sell the coins and quit wasting everyone's time?
1126  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [RAFFLE] #38 2019 sail the high seas on: October 15, 2019, 12:15:09 PM
I was considering buying from the original sales thread, but wanted to wait until the auction for #1-10 was over first? Why take down the sales thread?

0.00015625 * 15 = 0.00234375

I'll take 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 0, a, b, c, d, e, f.
I think buckrogers already had slot 7 from the raffle, so it's his.

The Utah Goldback
_______________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________



The Utah Goldback is a new, voluntary, local currency made from 24k gold. This is a form of local, legal tender that attempts to facilitate transactions with gold in a more practical manner. It is designed to allow smaller value transactions using precious metals, specifically gold. At the time of release, fall 2019, 1 Utah Goldback was valued at $2.60, but can and will fluctuate with gold price. I hope this information, although brief, will be a good introduction for those interested in the Goldbacks. Information in this reference thread is from the UPMA and Goldback websites as well as other third party websites listed and is not meant to be all inclusive or exhaustive.

Free Goldback with creation of United Precious Metals Association (UPMA) account:
UPMA is a Utah based non-profit that offers members gold and silver accounts. It was initially founded by Lawrence Hilton in 2011 as "Citizens for Sound Money" and began offering legal tender gold accounts. In 2012 the name was changed to United Precious Metals Association and still functions to offer legal tender precious metals accounts as it did when formed.

How to get Goldbacks:

Background (brief):
From 1933 to 1974 US citizens could not legally own gold, some exceptions existed. In August, 1974 US Congress passed a law, 93-373 that repealed the prohibitions on purchasing, holding, selling, or otherwise dealing in gold in the United states or abroad. It was effective on December 31, 1974.  
https://www.congress.gov/bill/93rd-congress/senate-bill/02665

After this law passed, it took several years to begin to introduce gold back as a currency, and generally any coins minted had greater spot value than face value and were difficult to transact in for small purchases or frequent daily use, in spite of gold's inherent value.  After 1974 the first gold coins were not minted until 1985 after Congress passed the Gold Bullion Coin Act of 1985.

Although other local currencies have existed before, it was not until 2011 that an attempt was made to utilize precious metals as currency. Utah was the first to begin to attempt to utilize precious metals as currency. This was proposed by Lawrence Hilton, a Utah lawyer, and eventually brought to Utah legislature by Rep. Brad Galvez. On March 10, 2011 the state of Utah passed the Utah Legal Tender Act, HB0317.
https://le.utah.gov/~2011/bills/static/HB0317.html

This act recognized gold and sliver as legal tender in Utah. This allowed the state and individuals to transact directly in gold and sliver without paying capital gains taxes. This now allowed gold and silver to be used as more than a store of value, however transactions in precious metals was still cumbersome due to their value. Although Utah was the first to recognize gold an silver as legal tender, numerous others have adopted this concept including: West Virginia, Wyoming, Arizona, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Indiana, Missouri, Louisiana, Tennessee and South Carolina.

The Utah Goldback attempts to solve the issue of divisibility for precious metals. Goldbacks are printed by a company called Valaurum (https://valaurum.com). They have developed a process using electrolysis to embed fractions of an ounce of gold between polymer layers.   This allows for very small fractions of precious metals to be securely be transformed into easy to use gold bills. Goldbacks have been printed and released in the fall of 2019 and are now available for purchase and use.

I Paid $6 originally for the coins

 Shocked
Wow. Talk about ROI!
Would love to help and buy these from you, but they are probably beyond my price point at the moment.
Good luck with the sale, and hope things turn around for you.
