I'm not a collector, but a Bitcointalk coin somehow sounds very attractive. Until now I haven't even joined any of the many giveaways because I don't want to dox myself, but I might have to reconsider for this anniversary edition. I’d also be willing to offer my engraving services, but am not sure that private keys known by an individual would be a great idea. BIP38 can limit the risk, if only the receiver knows the password and the encrypted key gets engraved.

Getting a PO Box is a good way to prevent this.

Getting a PO Box is a good way to prevent this. Or sending it to a friend, which is what I plan to do. It's not like I need perfect opsec anyways.

Very interesting idea, following!

We all know of some really experienced collectors and some amazing designers here, by pointing out who should design vs who should not is just not fair among designers.
My suggestion: 1. Create a small group of 10-15 EXPERIENCED and KNOWLEDGEABLE collectors as judges 2. All designers submit their designs to them. 3. After review they can choose whatever number of designs(maybe around 3-5) they choose and create the polls along with/without the prices for the community to choose the final design. 4. For distribution - that's little bit tricky and don't have any idea how to do that, i am sure one of the senior members can chime in new creative idea or probably some way that was used in one of the earlier auctions or sales.
After all this is a community anniversary coin that we are talking about and we should let community choose.

Im sure a lot of coin manufacturers know how to ship their coins to multiple people. For example Krogothmanhattan jhas given away hundreds of coins so far, by now I'd bet he has a lot of experience on the how of it.

Never mind Silver.
It seems only proper that any limited offering be minted on, at least 99%+ Au.
Bitcoin is ultimately looking to supplant Au.
It's poetic.
... personally, I would wish for Platinum, but recognize reality being what it is.
How about we make it from jade instead? And instead of the shape of the coin, we will make it the shape of your favorite green object.

I like this idea, a contest will be nice for this one.

50-300 is fine. If we do not state a definite upper limit then we run into a Sorites paradox, where n+1 is as good as n and hence we arbitrarily increase.
Wouldn't it make those 50-300 limited run coins more costly? If they are rare, these coins will surely be auctioned in future which shouldn't happen, since theymos has said that he offers these anniversary coins to only to few specific members based on certain criteria. Also, it would be good if those members were selected who has really contributed to the forum such as MODS, devs of epochtalk (probably just an idea), donators and other reputed guys roaming here. This shouldn't be handed over based on so called merit criteria since not all top merit receivers know about collectibles and their uniqueness actually. I like the sound of this. We could have a design and print done rather quickly, and be ready to ship before the anniversary.
Your notes were always of the best quality right from the newly made 10 year Bitcoin note and the community would love to see how you bring out the note if it was for the forum anniversary. Until now I haven't even joined any of the many giveaways because I don't want to dox myself, but I might have to reconsider for this anniversary edition.
You could trust collectors like MJ, they are a lot more trustworthy than any one here and would help in even reshipping them to your address. I guess MJ has a separate warehouse (The Mantis warehouse) for his collections.

So much this. Also, is this moving forward?

I think we could go a bit further down the poetic rabbit hole. I think theymos should load them with 10 BTC each and give them to all staff members (as of this date in case I get booted from being staff some time in the future!), 2 should be given to the P&S mod, because reasons. Joking aside, it would be cool to have a little prize pool for a design competition, have a small BTC payment for the winner and smaller payment for X number of "honourable mentions". I don't think the prize has to be big at all but something would be cool.

I love those coins, but frankly speaking as someone new to crypto sometimes it becomes little tricky with buying other crypto sending it across for loading and all. I have been buying lot of collectibles recently but this one threw me off in terms of what needs to be done., I would prefer, the designer/creator of the coin should charge 1 flat fee that prob includes loading, minting, etc, etc. basically an all inclusive price. Well going back to the new coin I suggested this, and looks like lot of people liked the idea, I think it's a matter of staff members from forum to make the decision and get the ball rolling with whatever tweaks they wanna make to the suggestion below We all know of some really experienced collectors and some amazing designers here, by pointing out who should design vs who should not is just not fair among designers.

Definitly eying this thread to see what will happen. Even though competitions are often frustrating for many participants (only one gets chosen, so a lot of good work is often wasted), I'd personally love to see this happen.

I was thinking a special Staff coin would be cool and a nice gesture . Maybe one for the top ten merited users also: Totally not biased or anything. I haven't read through all this thread yet so I don't know what's been suggested, but maybe a good idea would be to hold some sort of charity raffle for them. That could generate a lot of money and at least go to some good causes.
