We are glad that you like them.

With Bitcoin at a new price point, buying one of these is next to nothing! Make sure you get (at least) one whilst stocks last!

Much Wow. Such Happy. Many Bump.

It looks like some clarification is needed.
The 'markings' found on the coins in the pictures above are perfectly normal for the prototype coins in question.
As stated in our second post (see page 1) these coins weren't actually intended on being sold.
We still do not sell these coins but rather offer them as promotional freebies when an order of 5 or more coins is placed.

The markings shown above actually came about during production.
The coins themselves are made of a zinc alloy.
After the coins had been struck, they underwent the gold plating process. The method used by the mint wasn't perfect and they plated the coins using a brush plating method instead of the preferred immersion electroplating. So in short, the ) marks that you're seeing is where the brush 'strokes' ended and thus appear slightly different from the rest of the plating on the coin.

Hopefully that clears up any confusion.

Thanks

That looks great! Thanks for sharing a pic with us

We apologise for the delay in updating you with tracking information.
All tracked and untracked parcels have been shipped. Tracking information has now been sent out via PM.

Thanks 

Coin number 4 has freed up again.
Coins 6-10 are also available.

Number 7 is available. Send us a PM and we can take it from there

Yes, we meant 2016
We spent a long time negotiating with our manufacturer. They had a duty to tell us that there was an issue with the hologram master, but they failed to do so. As much as we argued, we saw it as a lost case. The best deal they offered us was in making a new hologram master and discounting the total cost by our last order. However, the cost of the new hologram master is significantly larger than the cost of our last order alone...

Even so, we still think that it's going to be a great deal at $20. The coins will also come in a Lighthouse square capsule with an insert

The assembled coins w will release in July will be exactly the same as the DIY coins in terms of design. However,  they will come assembled with a silver hologram. This hologram will never be sold or distributed and will only be found on coins we assemble ourselves.
Unfortunately we do not have the right equipment to engrave the coins.

The prototype coins will not change, however, we will never assemble any more of the prototypes with the silver holograms. There will only be 10 of them in existence. They are also the first 10 numbered coins out of the 100 prototypes that were made.



If you're inter seed in buying some coins, please send us a PM.

All other PMs will be replied to in the next few minutes.

Thanks

At long last, we have some news!
We received the holograms from our manufacturer last week.
However, due to a fault with the hologram master, the holograms came out slightly damaged. We tried sifting through the holograms to hand select the best, but too few passed our quality checks...
We spoke to our manufacturer about this but they weren't helpful and we ended up having to pay them more to remake the holograms after they remake a new hologram master. This will set back the release of the assembled coins to July 2016.
We can confirm that the assembled coins will be limited to 100 coins only and will sell for $20 per coin.

Due to the unexpected extra costs involved as well as the manufacturing cost of our next product (it's epic), we need to raise some funds.
We initially set aside the first 10 prototype coins to stay within the company. However, now that things have changed, we have decided to use these coins to help our company grow.

The first 10 coins (out of the 100 prototype coins) have been assembled by us using the best holograms of our last batch. They aren't perfect, but they are far better than the others we had to dispose of.
There will only ever be 10 prototypes assembled by SHIBANU. These coins are not for sale, but are being offered out for every 10 coins purchased on a first come first served basis.
Once these coins go, they're gone for good.

The coins come assembled with a silver hologram and are closed in a Leuchtturm/Lighthouse everslab.
These coins will come fully funded too!

Pictures of said coins can be found below.
The current price for a single DIY coins is $18.
The price for 10 coins is $16/coin excluding shipping.

We'd like to apologise once again for the delay in releasing the assembled coins. We really wanted them to have been ready by now, but unforeseen circumstances have prevented this from happening. On the bright side, a member of our team has been working closely with bigtimespaghetti on a new product and it is awesome. We are just waiting to get the renders back from the manufacturer before we begin production. It's definitely something worth waiting for

Thanks to you all for your continued support!

Yes and No. You will have to wait and see. 
The price of each coin is non-negotiable. However, we offer larger discounts for large purchases. We also have an offer running that includes one free 'prototype' coin with every 5 coins purchased.
If you are interested in placing a larger order, please send us a PM.

Thanks

We have reduced our prices to $15 per coin for the next 5 days only...
Send us a PM if you want to place an order.
We have exciting news that we can't wait to share. But when we do, these special prices will be no longer 
 

^Bumping this thread^

We are working with a user on the forum to design something awesome.
We're still going through the ideas stage but we've got some great ideas and sketches.
We will have to count how many 2015 Dogecoins we have left. Sales have slowed down for the last two weeks so we're not sure if producing a new hologram will be a viable option. We may just assemble 50-100 coins and sell them with a COA.

All pending orders have been shipped

MUCH WOW! SUCH GROWTH! MANY NUMBERS!

The DOGE price has risen by over 62% in the last 24 hours!!!

Buy a Physical Dogecoin today!!! Don't miss your chance

Edit: Make that 77% Growth.

As good as a suggestion this is, users could simply take their prototypes and use their DIY holograms to produce assembled 'prototype' coins.

coins...

We have been in talks with gravitate with regards to future colloboration but nothing in connection with our current series. This could be a possible option although as far as we know, both manufacturers do have some holograms that were released non-assembled which takes us back to square one.

If one of the above have some holos that they only used on assembled coins then it could potentially work.


That is what we were thinking too.
With regards to the laser engraving, that is also a possibility although anyone could laser engrave their holograms. We'd need to do some more research as we currently don't own a laser engraver.

Thanks for the suggestions guys!

The problem with selling the assembled gold ones is that people could simply use their DIY holograms to replicate the coins.
Say our firstbits show a wallet address starting with DG30oC1a, anyone who has a gold hologram can assemble their own coin and replicate these firstbits to give the impression that their selling a coin funded and assembled by us, where in truth the coin could have no private jet underneath whatsoever.

We need to find a possible solution to this to ensure that this won't happen. Our best option would be to use a different hologram that we will only use on assembled coins. However, a new production run (without design costs) could range between $700-1000 alone. That would bring the price of each coin up by $7-10 simply because we'd need to divide that cost between the 100 coins.

It wouldn't come loaded with the 50k DOGE. We would ask for payment + 50k DOGE and then we would load it upon delivery. We could also load the coins with the face value at the current rate of the buyer doesn't have any DOGE. The reason for the higher costs would be that we'd need to pay for a full hologram production run and the cost of this would have to be absorbed by the 100 coins. Normally speaking, a high production run would mean the cost would be spread more evenly over a greater number of coins. Here however, the low number of coins would cause the price per coin to increase.

How many of you are interested in buying assembled coins? We are considering assembling the last 100 coins of this series but we'd need a new hologram to differentiate the assembled coins to the DIY coins. We were thinking of going with the same hologram in silver but this would cause us to have to charge quite a bit more for the coin... We're open to suggestions though
