► ❎ ► LEALANA PHYSICAL LITECOINS FOR SALE - RESUMING SALES!!!

[Cablez]

No, thank you sir for a tremendous product.  Of course you know I will be back.

Just a comment, I love the coins but I think they would have been better had the various denominations mathematically worked together.  Meaning, 5 LTC is 1/4 oz silver, and 10 LTC is 1/2 oz silver, so 1 oz of silver should have a value of 20 LTC for it all to work together.  

My mindset was to give people the ability to store more LTC on the biggest size coin.

In the U.S. legal tender we do not have a 20cent coin. We have nickels (5 cents), dimes (10 cents), and quarters (25 cent). So perhaps I also did it unconsciously given that is the currency denominations I am used to dealing with.

But you have a good point the math between them is a bit off.

Do you consider 1 LTC silver coins? 0.05 Troy Oz of silver? :p (1.555 grams)
I would buy some, they match with my 1oz Silver casasius coins

edit: very small tamper proof stickers are needed :p

Perhaps I may if there is enough interest. Let's hear anyone else?

The smaller the increments the more of a premium they generally carry.

I'm open to the idea.

Well, truth be told, the silver quarters of the day held 2.5x the silver of a silver dime.  The weight and purity of pre-'65 silver coins in the US all worked out mathematically.  And, you may not have known this, but indeed there was a 20 cent silver coin minted in the US, with the amount of silver identical to two silver dimes.



That coin didn't take off very well, but throughout the history of US silver coinage, the amount of silver aligned mathematically with the denominations.  But, I understand that these are your coins that you designed as you saw fit, and I do see somewhat of an added benefit to having the largest coin (1 oz & 25 LTC) being designed to be more desirable via more LTC stored on the coin.

And by the way, thank you for the 1000 LTC donation to the litecoin development team.  Your donation is probably the most significant gift they've recieved thus far.  I am a firm beliver in LTC, and your coins bolster the trust I have in the future of these coins.

Wow. You actually taught me something I did not know.

Was that the last year of the 20 cent coin?

Concerning the donation, I believe it is healthy to have LTC merchants support the development of Litecoin.

Yeah, the 20 cent coins were only minted for a few years, and were quickly withdrawn because they were too close to the size of a quarter and confused a lot of people.

That is not true, it is about 50% of the most significant gift they've received.

I stand corrected.  Smoothie should have donated 2001 LTC just to hold the honor, LOL.

I have had a few people contact me and ask me my opinion as to whether Lealana coins are a scam, worried that 2-4 weeks seems unrealistic.

I'd like to publicly state my opinion that I believe Lealana coins to be legit, and 2-4 weeks to be reasonable.  It took me just as long to get my first batch of silver coins out.

It seems like it should be so simple, putting stickers on some coins, and it's easy to ask why 2-4 weeks?  In my case, I have kids and other commitments, so right off the bat, there's time rationing involved.  In my experience, when I release a new coin, there's a relative rush of orders for everyone wanting the earliest spots in the sequence.  There's another part of it - there's a persistent need to be meticulous at every step, as there are some steps where single errors are pretty much unforgivable.  The way I store bitcoins is super paranoid, as I'm conscious of being robbed or hacked... consequently, my activities are also very slow.

For me, just the process of generating and printing a batch of private keys is seriously a whole weekend, because I want perfect front-to-back alignment, I want to make sure the private keys on the back are 100.000% legible matches to the address prefixes on the front, I want to make sure I've printed each key exactly once, and I want to make sure all my overprints and mistake prints are thoroughly obliterated (as even shredding them is clearly not enough).  Afterward, keeping track of the lifecycle of the coins as they flow from creation to shipment to funding requires conscious organization and effort.  Getting the private keys perfect is such a big deal, it is probably the main reason there isn't far more competition in this space after this much time.

The first time I ever went to Hawaii was recent, August 2012 (oh yeah, sometimes I travel and don't broadcast the fact on the internet - that gives the appearance of slowing things down too, certainly so must Noah travel once in a while as well).  Definitely a unique place far different from where I live, and to have a Hawaiian-style bitcoin, I just think is neat, much the same one might consider it neat to have a US quarter coin featuring Hawaii.  I didn't order many Lealana Litecoins because I'm not a huge fan of altcoins, but I felt it fitting to own a whole roll of each of the new Lealana Bitcoins, for which I estimate I'll be waiting 2-4 weeks to receive.  I would be thrilled to see local-culturized physical bitcoins from other places, especially in places where Bitcoin is hot (Finland, Germany, etc.), and I would estimate that they'd be highly collectible.  Also, if someone made a commemorative physical bitcoin featuring that well-known green camel amongst our community, I'd want one .

If that was his goal then yes. 2001 > 2000. Not attacking smoothie for his donation or even saying it was small. Just saying your claim was not true. I polity messaged you via PM and let you know about your error. You failed to correct your mistake so I did. No hard feelings mate.

Clueless morgan explains his highly logical argument perfectly.

Mike, thanks for that.

There is a lot of detail, time, and work that goes into each coin.

I don't expect everyone to understand what goes into the coins in order to produce them. But it is nice to get another person who understands the process and effort that goes into assembling coins of this nature to give their perspective.

 

As stated shipping will start within 2-4 weeks from the time you placed your order. This will change over time as I start getting orders assembled and shipped.

I just got some more coins today and they came in record time for registered mail!  Thanks again smoothie.
