Note: While some may call them 'Physical Bitcoins', Liberty Crypto-Dollars are fundamentally different from Casascius coins.
Liberty Crypto-Dollars merely provide a means to return an accurate/current SPOT value of the bullion.
They are not useful as wallets, or as containers for bitcoin in any way.

     I've long been a silver bug, sound money advocate & small business barter fan; as many in the 'Honest Money'/Private Contract community are. I loved that Joseph VaughnPerling resurrected Bernard von Nothaus' Lady Liberty in his 'New Liberty Dollar' project as much as his initial BITCOIN SPECIE, though I always wished i could alter the BITCOIN SPECIE Parameters. Loved the ideas so much; I took it upon myself to merge them to commemorate the coming 20th YEAR Anniversary of The Liberty Dollar by reaching out to Bernard to license the use of an original Luigi Badia plaster sculpt to create a 'NEW BitCoin Specie' round; building on JVP's ideas with my own twist: showing JUST the current and accurate SPOT value for 'One Ounce Fine Silver' against the USD while adding a handful of virtual currencies (BTC, ETH, DASH, XMR, LTC & DOGE), which I can change at will, or by request.

Wonderful concepts!!  spe·cie   noun: specie       money in the form of coins rather than notes. Span the gap between sound money communities Put a Bitcoin price-tag on everything!! Marvelous FORKED from Joseph VaughnPerling's 2014 BITCOIN SPECIE Project, to Commemorate the 20th Anniversary of The Liberty Dollar by Bernard von Nothaus. Thank You Joseph VaughnPerling and Bernard vonNothaus for the inspirations, which when combined and modified, resulted in my project offering. Thanks also to everyone who supports alternative forms of settlement and savings. Origional 'Liberty Dollar' (1998 through 2009) Joseph VaughnPerling 'New Liberty Dollar'

There are currently ONLY more expensive/Collectable pieces available.
      My goal of course is NOT to strike PROOF rounds, but to create an alternative currency, being also a commemorative piece, which people will collect and hope to use in trade.. while holding an allure and still being affordable.. IN ADDITION to creating a limited number of exquisite collectors pieces. The MAIN bulk of rounds to be struck throughout 2018 and be SATIN (BU) Finish, like a US NICKEL.

Rather than auctioning some low numbers, I figure that fair value (or substantially less than: were I to auction them here, based on previous and similar auctions), for the most IMMACULATE rounds produced is currently $150 USD, which amounts to a mere 0.03275 BTC.

FIRST COME FIRST SERVE - LOWEST NUMBERS OUT THE DOOR IN ORDER OF ORDER PLACED
UNLESS YOU REQUEST A SPECIFIC NUMBER.. WHICH IS ALSO ACCEPTABLE.

If you request a specific number, please request as many numbers as you wish, in order of preference and I'll fill it as best able)
Use the CART @  https://cart.libertycryptodollar.info
And INPUT specifics in the NOTES section at checkout.

I caught wind of these last week and pulled the trigger on an order.  Coin is already here and I'm pretty blown away by the quality. You've continued the bitcoin specie legacy in spectacular fashion.  Nice job! 

[romeshomey]

These are really beautiful 1oz silver proofs.  I wouldn't usually purchase a proof just due to the premium cost but wanted to help the project along and am quite happy with mine.  I'll edit with a pic of #11 when I'm able to get to that.

These are real quality rounds to add to a coin collection or if you just want to help out this project.

Thanks Cryptodollar.

[Branduardi]

This is awesome and I've just placed an order to support this great project. Can't wait for the alt-coin, XMR anyone

[cryptodollar]

Thank you for the kind words EVERYONE.
     I did the very best I am able, to preserve the ideals of both the Liberty Dollar and Bitcoin Specie, in continuing through to the Altcoin Specie; which is my v2.0 of the legacy. I am very pleased with how they came out. We did of course have an original Liberty Dollar Plaster Master to work with for the 3D Obverse image and William J LaMere Jr. & the Artists @ North American Mint did exceptional work reducing it as well as cutting the 2D reverse DIE.

I know (*cough* Romes) the numbered first strikes are pricy and I thank you for helping the project at its inception. =) Were it not for the (small percentage of) collectors pieces, this project wouldn't have ever gotten off the ground [If you're not treating yourself, you're cheating yourself]. The SATIN ROUNDS will be considerably more reasonably priced, and still suitable for gifting.

XMR is available from the drop down menu. =)
Currently 1oz .999 Silver is worth 0.159786 XMR (SPOT Value)

Received my #6 coin..beautifully made! Congrats

[cryptodollar]

Great news those waiting on Strike2 / ALTCOIN SPECIE rounds.
They left the Mint today and should be in hand this Friday the 8th; will ship out to you Saturday morning the 9th.
 Thanks for your patience.

[WinterParker]

Are you the person that made the new liberty dollar coin?

[cryptodollar]

Are you the person that made the new liberty dollar coin?

No. This is my FIRST Silver creation.
The New Liberty Dollar was created by Joseph VanaughPerling, known here as New Liberty.
New Liberty also made the first BITCOIN SPECIE round.
Both Joseph and I use the 'Lady Liberty' image, made famous by Bernard von NotHaus' Liberty Dollar.

This is nothing more than a bitcoin/altcoin themed souvenir that's valued upon the material it is made out of?
A 1oz silver round with a bitcoin pricetag -right?

You're silly. You could have altered that question when you pasted verbatim from Bitcoin Specie Project BCT thread (tap.tap.tap), and I know you really have no issue understanding the project; because, well (for anyone who doesn't know EndCiv; he lives in a shed in my back yard), ..you live in a shed in my back yard.  

Sure, one might call the initial PROOF rounds souvenirs and all could be considered theme based collectables, but I intend for the bulk of rounds to be available, in larger quantity's for just over the cost to produce them; so like any alternative currency, the ALTCOIN SPECIE is a currency which may be traded.  When Bernard vonNothaus started the Liberty Dollar, Silver was just over $6/oz.  If people traded them today for private goods and services they would be considerably more "valuable".  I DO in-fact on every occasion, trade my labor for silver to anyone who can deliver one as payment.

"MONEY" is what people say it is..  I LOVE SILVER.
I LOVE Alternative forms of Money.. I love trading value.
I hate DEBT and I LOATHE TRADING DEBT RECEIPTS.

You want to buy something, you read it's price tag.
When you see a USD price-tag on a pair of shoes, you aren't upset that the shoes aren't Bitcoins.. they're shoes.
They're not USD Themed shoevenirs..

And have you ever tried to imagine the price of 'something' cheap in BTC...?
At the time of this posting SILVER is trading at $18.0716 USD..

Do you know what $18.0716 is in BTC?   It's 0.004269 BTC.
I know this because I've scanned the QR Code on that coin.

Seriously tho.. If you have concerns or questions: I refer you to the Bitcoin Specie Project BCT thread.
Joseph/NewLiberty REALLY laid it all out already and he speaks far more eloquently than do I.

When will the unnumbered ones be available?
I'd like to purchase some.

[cryptodollar]

When will the unnumbered ones be available?
I'd like to purchase some.

I aught to have 100 of the Proof-like, un-numbered ones in hand TODAY  =)..
    The SATIN finish one - that will be waay cheaper, will be some time in the future.. maybe even as late as November unless people would like to prepay for bulk orders or else someone would like to work a conference with me someplace to move some as I'm kinda tapped for funds and flush with proof/proof-like rounds.

Will update when I get the notice from USPS

[cryptodollar]

The first 100 'Proof-like' rounds are in; and they look *almost* as nice as the double struck Proofs.
      Still pretty awesome. I'm thinking Christmas ornaments or maybe giving one away with every 100oz of the general issue strikes, regardless - once I get to the general issue strike phase the DIE will have been sand blasted, so there cant be any more shiny ones after that.
      The most obvious difference can be seen when examining the definition of the small hairs in Lady Liberty's bun, though it doesn't seem to come thru as well in cell phone photos no matter how large or sharp I take the images. I'd also say that the 'mirror' is more mirrory.. in the PROOF coin.  It's obvious great care was taken to make sure nothing fussed with the sheen of the PROOF coins before they were encapsulated, where as the ones in tubes are only like 98% as awesome..

See for yourself. Which is which..?

Once it gets bigger, click it second time and look again =)

My site will hold them at this price range indefinitely, to set the price-point high so that re-sellers won't be undercut.
Individually = $75
Tube of 20 = $50/ea
100 Rounds = $42.50/ea  UPDATED
1000 Rounds = $38.50/ea  UPDATED
Ugh, did the math again & UPDATED the figures.

The last package held up, waiting on display boxes and COA's shipped today.
Display boxes shipped next day but COA's take a week to have printed up.
There were three in total that were held up six days.
If one of them was yours, I apologize.

What is the specific differences in between the 'PROOF', 'PROOF-LIKE', and 'General Issue' strikes?

'PROOF':  Shiny polished background, frosted letters and image high quality.
Near flawless finish. You can strike between 100 - 250 pcs before you have
to re-polish the dies to remove any draw marks or flaws in the dies.

'PROOF-LIKE': Shiny polished finish background frosted letters and image good
quality finish. You can strike between 1250 -2000 pcs before you have to
re-polish the dies.

'General Issue' (BU): Complete frosted satin finish.
You can strike between 25,000 - 50,000 pcs before you have to replace the dies.

[EndCiv]

I'm trying to decide what I like best among the options..

The fact that it's got Bernard von Nothaus' Lady Liberty / Liberty Dollar image..
The words BITCOIN SPECIE ..
The words ALTCOIN SPECIE .. ..

Is it better that it says ALTCOIN SPECIE; meaning not only alternative coin, but altcoins ..specie, while also having BITCOIN logos:
or are the words BITCOIN SPECIE more important .. ?

I KNOW for a fact that I like the new QR code look, yet liked the long link decryption of the old QR code better..  It just looked BETTER when being decoded than the http://goog.le redirect decryption of the new QR, but I suppose the analytics are cool - and it's more important that the QR scans EVERY time than it look good in a browser when decrypted.

BUMP none the less.
I made REALLY COOL 'pull chain' ornaments for my bedroom ceiling fans out of two of the Christmas ornaments I got.

[romeshomey]

Just to get an idea of what they look like next to an American Eagle.

These are beautiful proofs although I'm not a very good with the camera.
