The maker of these coins is a good buddy, I will shoot him over this thread and see what I can find out for you.
IIRC yes there were only 10 pure silver coins. As to how they were distributed- would have to speak to LuckyBit.. I will shoot a message there way, it was many years ago and I can't remember the details exactly. I was only managing the design and production of them at the time. This was 5-6 years ago, so sorry I can't give more concrete info.
I do remember there were charity auctions too.
It's awesome there is still interest in these coins!
The .999 pure silver coins are beautiful but not the same as i am inquiring about here.
As far as i remember the pure silver coins were produced for Luckybit staff, think i read that in the encyclopedia of physical bitcoins.
What i am looking for information on is, how was the majority (+80%) of the "Silver Plated" zinc alloy coins distributed? For example was the majority of silver plated coins sold to the public, or awarded as prizes?
Could LuckyBit possibly provide any numbers regarding how many (Silver Plated) coins were sold to the public? (including any charity sales/auctions)
How many were awarded as prizes to Luckybit players?
It would also be handy to know this same info above regarding the Rose Gold series of the coin.
@bigtimespaghetti, I have always loved these coins, they have so much fine detail and represent a huge start for bitcoin gambling. They are a great piece of the bitcoin history.
I can't remember the percentage now, but at one stage Luckybit was accounting for a huge amount of tx's on the chain per day. You could watch the flow of tx's on explorers like Blockchain.info for 2min and see heaps of bets go through.
I remember that we did a lot of strikes, we had to do some re-striking due to quality.
I can dig through emails and find the mintage quantity. But my contact at Luckybit would have the ultimate knowledge on distribution as I wrote before.
Edit: whoops used my alt account!
