no because the coins will then need to go back for testing... catch 22 - you don't have enough rep to handle a few thousand of my money. this is a first project that you aren't experienced in, this is likely to go wrong, so I need to be safe and secure - if that doesnt' work for you - then i with withdrawal all my reservations.
Well, this puts the OP at risk in a certain way if you think about it. Let's assume the coins end up in 'inadequate' quality for you (as observed by third party). The coins get returned to OP, but he can't really sell them to someone else due to the specific engraving that you asked for. Hopefully he won't mess up the coin with something trivial, such as the engraving. sorry im out - this and 4PM's for a simple request is too much grief for me - sorry Killyou - please sell elsewhere to others more trusting than I |

Why you didn't start making cheap coins that you could afford to invest? If I'm not wrong, this is your first coin and users are worried about the quality because they never saw any coin produced from you. In my opinion starting with a silver coin isn't the best option, if the mint don't made a good work you will loose money with this.

If you look closely at my OP, you will see it says these coins will be stamped, , there will be no mint. These will be rough looking coins I would assume, and are going to be made like ancient greek coins where. Each one will be a little different |

Each one will be a little different I wonder if any other coin makers have stamped their coins vs using a mint. There's a risk these coins will be very handmade looking and a lot of unhappy customers expecting something else. Perhaps you should show a finished product before asking for payment, even if using escrow. Why not use a mint and charge more to recover your costs? |

The Bitcoin Penny Company contracts with an actual mint, because we prefer the appearance of a professionally minted coin as opposed to a rougher, handmade coin. Nothing against handmade coins, mind you. We simply prefer the appearance of professionally minted coins. The QC is much better too. Good luck with your new coins, ky. Regards, Chris |

Because that would go against what I am trying to do, I don't want to charge more. I want to get these as close to spot as possible. I plan on showing the coins once they are completed. |

there is always risk in business - 60oz silver bar would be snapped up at spot.
so take the punt - if its shit- just make silver into a bar - get it tested and sell it on. life lesson learnt for little.

I think that the idea of a non-professionally minted, handmade, artisan physical bitcoin is an intriguing idea, and I'm glad to see that you've accidentally stumbled upon the idea. If well-executed, then this could be a very nice, niche addition to the burgeoning world of bitcoin collectibles. (On the other hand, if poorly-executed, then it could drastically lower the bar for future collectibles projects, and that would be unfortunate.) I'm an optimistic person, so I'm sure you've got this.
However, it's important to remember that a non-professionally minted, handmade coin may have troubles when it comes to ANACS grading services. Just a random thought...
Congratulations again.
Regards,
Chris

I think I saw this type of coin being stamped at Disney World..Or some other theme park..Maybe even a renesance fair. There was a giant slide hammer mounted on 2 guide rails...A block and tackle would hoist the heavy weight. You would choose 2 dies from the collection... Front and back... Then choose the blank coin, ...The dies and coin blank would be fixed to the weight and base..., The hoist would raise the weight to 10 feet height and be locked in place... You got to pull the rope to unleash the hook and with a double thump.. would strike the coin blank...I watched it done twice...Always remember it...Thought it was cool... Wanted to build one..
Good luck.... Hope it works...

They are 0.999 fine silver. Nice eye! I feel like there is sarsam there, but I really really like those do you have any more info on them? Yesterday I was reading TMAN had purchased all the coins and today that seems to be off, can you clarify the status of the sets?
1-5 are being auctioned. 13, 14, 15 are 100% available and #12 might be available Congrats with your first release, hope everything pans out well.

I saw something similar if not identical to that at a Renaissance fair, If you order a coin, I believe I can hand deliver it to you if you would like |

Did you make them yourselves? Don't you need a license to melt silver? |

I think you should make some reads, if you want everything to go smooth, otherwise you are going to face a lot of problems, even if you "only" pay a company to do that job for you. |
