I'm using the I39 air-tites with the 1oz coins with the and can confirm they fit in those nicely.
Has anyone found a case that's a nice fit for the 0.5oz coins? yes. I have used the 39 mm capsules I use for my 1/2 oz coins with the white foam spacer. Not exactly sure which model capsules they are. I can double check. I've gotten mine directly from the mint I use so I'm not sure where you would be able to get them at the moment. Here is a pic:  |

Regarding Air-Tite, capsules, I can confirm that "I 39mm" are a perfect fit for the 1oz rounds, and "H39 30mm" are a perfect fit for the 0.5oz rounds.

Can you, or anyone else for that matter, make a recommendation for which air-tites and spacers I should purchase for the following? 2011 series 25 BTC 2011 series 1 BTC 2012 series 5 BTC Thanks. |

Yep, that was indeed me. I created a transaction that moved the funds directly from a gravity-damaged coin to its replacement. |
Companies claiming they got hacked and lost your coins sounds like fraud so perfect it could be called fashionable. I never believe them. If I ever experience the misfortune of a real intrusion, I declare I have been honest about the way I have managed the keys in Casascius Coins. I maintain no ability to recover or reproduce the keys, not even under limitless duress or total intrusion. Remember that trusting strangers with your coins without any recourse is, as a matter of principle, not a best practice. Don't keep coins online. Use paper or hardware wallets instead.

I can also digitally sign PDF, which Adobe Acrobat will recognize and validate without any hassle to the user. May come in handy. Though it's a paid hardware signing module that is not really that suitable for signing batches of documents in bulk, it remains an option for one-off requests.
I'm not too familiar with PDF signing, but that sounds like it would be more accessible to non-technical people. Would it be too much of a reach to generate a PGP-signed message and have that placed into a signed PDF? I'd be more than happy with one signed document per roll, listing the coins contained therein. I can envision silkscreening some nice certificates of authenticity with the PGP-signed messages, reminiscent of old 19th century bearer bonds  Given that the final count of 0.5s with series 2 holograms is apparently only 45(!), I'm quite eager to get the "stamp of approval" on them! I could secondarily PGP-sign the entire (Adobe-signed) PDF file as a binary (creating a separate signature file that GPG recognizes)
Signing PDFs also allows for easy signing of the embedded photos. I have scanned all of the silver coins and most of the recent brass coins.
Hi Mike, No doubt you're busy these days -- can we get an estimate as to when you'll have the time to provide signed docs? I'd love to have my personal PGP fingerprint included in the message as well, as this would help create a chain of custody for the coins. |

They are now online! 9 BTC for a roll of 20, and they turned out SWEET. I also had a professional photographer come and take pictures of the whole set. Assuming no copyright barriers, I'd love to include a burned CD of high quality imagery with future orders! Until I get the full files of the shoot, here is a quick shot I took with my iPhone of one of the setups we did.  |

They are now online! 9 BTC for a roll of 20, and they turned out SWEET. [SWEET pics of silver coins] sweet or not, that price tag is ridiculous: BTC 0.45 a piece. silver value: ~ 0.03 BTC = 6.7% of price bitcoin value: ~ 0.1 BTC = 22.2% of price markup: ~ 0.32 BTC = 71.1% of price So the value you get by "recycling" the coin is roughly 29% of the price (even worse considering reseller pricing will have to be yet a bit higher and also shipping). This percentage used to be close to or above 80%. I was truly looking forward to reselling these coins, but frankly, Mike: that markup is preposterous and I'm going to have to let that business opportunity (if it is one to speak of at all) slip by. |

sweet or not, that price tag is ridiculous: BTC 0.45 a piece.
silver value: ~ 0.03 BTC = 6.7% of price
bitcoin value: ~ 0.1 BTC = 22.2% of price
markup: ~ 0.32 BTC = 71.1% of price
So the value you get by "recycling" the coin is roughly 29% of the price (even worse considering reseller pricing will have to be yet a bit higher and also shipping).
This percentage used to be close to or above 80%.
I was truly looking forward to reselling these coins, but frankly, Mike: that markup is preposterous and I'm going to have to let that business opportunity (if it is one to speak of at all) slip by. The 1/2 oz coins are ~48% (0.56/1.17) and the 1 oz coins are only ~64% (1.12/1.75). So while I agree the markup on these is higher, I don't think it's too far out of line with the others. It makes sense to me that smaller coins would have higher markup. |

Until I get the full files of the shoot, here is a quick shot I took with my iPhone of one of the setups we did. (picture of shiny packaging justifying 450% markup removed) So I can pay you 0.45 BTC to receive 0.1 BTC in shiny packaging? I thought that kind of greedy markup only took place with ASIC mining hardware. That must have been a hell of a photographer! |

I don't see how that would happen except if Mike sells much cheaper to resellers (or does the auction thing again). |

I hope there'll be an EU group buy / EU reseller soon, I don't see any topics yet. Anyone know of one? |

How many of these .1 will be for sale in this run?
Also I would not mind doing a group buy for North America and doing it at cost. I think I will want three or them.
Thanks.
How exactly does one host a group buy? Is it simply a, gather buyers, get the coins in one wallet, purchase, wait for them to arrive, and re-distribute? I hope someone runs one in the EU, otherwise I possilbly could. |

Indaad, basically just open a topic, gather buyes and funds, make clear agreemenst and order  |
