"Primecoin" - Commemorative, Collectible Proofs!

[FiniteByDesign]

Locked topic to consolidate multiple threads. Please see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=388849.0

12/20/13 UPDATE: Due to some gray areas in current US legislation, f*D is making the following changes until further notice.
- Payment is only accepted via PayPal through the website
- Loading of crypto to the proofs must be done by the customer (I suggest keeping the transaction detail as a printout inside the custom leatherette once the proofs are loaded
- Pricing has been adjusted on the website to align with the new policies and also I have added some end of the year bulk purchase discount pricing
- All reservations not yet paid for are being made available to the public

Sorry for the inconvenience and we hope to be able to accept crypto payment and loading of proofs in the future. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

Added .999 Fine Silver Govt issue / mint coins

 

[FiniteByDesign]

Big surprise coming for the community from my web store by this weekend! You can probably figure it out by visiting my shop...

 

[FiniteByDesign]

Physical XPM's have landed!

Batch 1: 50 Physical Primecoins

1-6 of 50 are taken and paid for.

Only 44 left in Batch 1.

I can't believe anyone would pay $120 for a $24 piece of silver. I know it cost you some extra money to get them pressed, but that's crazy.

I want to agree, I paid much more than that for my 1oz. Lealana though .

I'd be in for one of these at .5BTC + 11 XPMs if you don't sell them all and price comes down a bit let me know.

I should be able to bring down the price point on subsequent batches if we get to that point, but certainly not to that level. I was hoping to get them to 1 btc per with xpm included. Of course if btc goes back to $260, you hav a deal!

I presume you are not a coin collector based off of this comment. I have seen 1 ounce gold coins appraised at $20k +. Hope you were seated when you read this, lol.

The difference is that this is not a collectable coin. At the time they were minted, those same coins you are talking about were sold at appropriate value. It's not right to start out selling a coin so far marked up because someday it might be valuable beyond it's value in silver. Even pandas, where we know the price is going to be over $100 in 5-10 years time are sold at a reasonable price now.

Could you show a picture of a finished coin with the public address/first bits showing?

Or do these coins not have the public address printed on the security label?

Each priv key is generated and printed and then hidden behind the security sticker. None of the digits will be showing. The attached Certificate of Authenticity will include the wallet address so receiver can confirm the transfer of XPM to the address via the block chain. I hope this answers your question.

LOL, what a fucking joke... Whats next, physical hobocoins and physical shitcoins... i cant believe how stupid people are here.

[FiniteByDesign]

#7 of 50 sold. 43 remain in the inaugural batch.

[FiniteByDesign]

Batch 1: #8 of 50 is sold. 42 remaining pieces.

[FiniteByDesign]

First 9 set to ship tomorrow, August 30th, 2013. Only 41 left! Original customers will have their tracking info sent by Friday evening, EST.

[tacotime]

Sure, I'll take one.  Your website says they aren't available at this time, though.  Let me know how much shipping is to Canada.

[mercSuey]

These look great!

Just purchased a bitcoin weathered pendant from your site...with CGB.   

[FiniteByDesign]

Couple more verbal orders placed overnight, so it looks like number 10 and 11 are gone now. 39 remain!

Also, when ordering, please specify your shipping option so that I can generate a private payment address for the specific amount of your order.
Shipping and handling (all pricing listed in BTC but I will accept payment via CGB, XPM or LTC):
-   Continental US:
o   1 Day Express Mail = 0.3 BTC
o   2 Day Priority Mail = 0.1 BTC
-   International:
o   3-5 Day Express Mail = 0.5 BTC

[FiniteByDesign]

The first 10 coins have shipped and tracking has been provided to the respective customers. I just got a request for another order so it looks like #11 of 50 is gone now as well. Only 39 left.

Also, I had to make an edit to the international shipping price. Apparently 3-5 day Express mail is required for tracking and to insure the package.

Thank you,
