Smoothie, is it my imagination or are you increasing the price of the coins as they sell?

Glad to hear that you're considering funding all coins even if a rare few may go astray, for large-ish orders you could always insure them for cost price so if that happened then there would be no monetary loss, or if not then just allow for the possibility of it happening & adjust the price a little to cover it afterwards if it ever happened. Received my shipping notification maybe include also the USPS tracking URL with these: https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction!input.action Mine, to Spain, just says: Delivery status information is not available for your item via this web site. A return receipt after mailing may be available through your local Post Office. which is OK, maybe it's not in the system as yet, or doesn't show for international registered mail, with Casascius's shipping the tracking worked up until it got to NY or LA ports for international orders. let uis know how much the customs cost was... If it's minimal, I may consider buying, but i'm still not very excited because of the price... I will, for Casascius non silver coins I received them each time with no duty to pay, even for over 100 coin lots, mostly privately mailed (as opposed to shop mailed) packages from the US to Spain don't get any problems with customs even if declared for quite high value (> $100 say) so I'm hoping that there won't be any. This year any packages I've received from Thailand though are now being charged duty but it's just a fixed amount regardless of contents or value of about €28 per package. A fixed amount?!? How strange. What's the reasoning for that? Yep, it's totally weird, I've had to pay it about half a dozen times so far this year when I pick up my packages at the post office, I've had stuff from all over the world (non EU) but only had to pay it for shipments from Thailand, no idea why that is, I complained & asked where I could contest this as there's no contact details on the payment demand from whoever issued it (Oficina Cambio, MADB Madrid A)??, but eventually gave up as I was getting nowhere. Just fished out one of these pesky bills & it's itemized as the following: IVA Importation = VAT, sales tax: €7.85 Despacho = Office = a sort of handling/processing charge I guess: €14.98 IVA Despacho = f'ing VAT on the f'ing charge for billing you: €3.15 Total: €25.98 That one was from March 2013, the amount seems sort of random & has gone up to about €28 atm so I started consolidating my shipments & as many are worth a fair bit more than amount I'm being charged VAT on I'm not too fussed, this is a new BS to appear as for over 10 years I've had nothing to pay on packages sent to Spain from anywhere. Edit: so it's €7.85 VAT @ 21% on about €37.50 or $50 which maybe the package was declared at or they just decided to value it as, most of the charge is the processing fee.

I know I got one of the first orders in, and I double checked the cost and it's the same today as it was when they first went for sale. I do know that the anticipated price was lower before they officially went on sale, but I think that's because the dollar price of LTC went down a little bit before he started taking orders, so he had to raise the LTC cost a little to make up the difference.

My order just made it to Canada. Maybe another day or two depending on customs. Canada post seems to update more frequently then USPS. USPS still said its in LA.

At the post office now sending out another batch of orders. Confirmation numbers will be sent in a few hours. Concerning my coins: In the unlikely event my coins get lost of stolen during shipping from me to the original buyer I will fund the coins and eat the cost and replace the order. This is assuming that USPS reports the package lost of stolen in writing. Despite that the coins will be funded anyway. In essence all of my coins that are purchased will be funded. It is a small cost for me to instill confidence in my coins and the value they are denominated to hold in LTC. 2 coin limit will remain for the foreseeable future as many have asked if it will be lifted.

even if the price does increase, it would be expected, as clearly the demand is here.
especially for the defective original ones that tend to become collector items much like the "casacius" coin.

UPDATE: If anyone is having issues tracking their package try changing the "RA" to "RE" in the confirmation code. Seems USPS says to use "RA" but the labels are listed as "RE". LINK: https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction!input.action edit: Some labels have "RE" and some have "RA". I'll try to be more consistent on this in the future.

Cheers I recently updated not long ago that I had sold less than half of my whole batch. It has only been 11 days since I have started taking orders so there is plenty of time for buyers to come into the market. I still have the majority of my supply which is okay with me as I don't want to run out before I can add to my supply and in different denominations. How many have been sold so far? Just out of curiosity..
Less than half.

nah, there'd be no economic reason for the thief to fund 10 LTC to Lealana in the first place. he'd just keep the coin for the silver content.
He can sell it for 27 LTC or whatever. A bit more than $10 for half an ounce of silver last time I checked. That's an economic reason.
