[Interest Check] Monero Silver Set ICG 70, 70, 69

[phishead]

Hey guys!

So today I'm thinking of letting go of one of my most prized collectibles.  Generally speaking, I just want to hodl more liquid crypto. 

But I'm in a dilemma.  I know most people don't have enough spare funds to spend on a full XMR silver set, and I've heard before from some people in the community that they would love to have the opportunity to buy just one of these bad ass coins.  So I have two ideas running through my head.

Option 1)

Auction:  This would be a week long auction format priced in XMR with three lots starting at 25, 50 and 100 XMR respectively. Bid increments will be 0.5 XMR and whoever wins the 100 and 50 XMR coins will receive a mint error letter from Northwest Territorial Mint explaining the minting errors in those two coins, as well as the certification of funding from Smoothie for each coin.  If someone happens to win the full set, they will also receive a 5 XMR brass coin and a #7 Spesmonerujo loaded note set for FREE.  Also included will be the high resolution .jpg files from ICG (and the look mind blowingly detailed  )

Option 2)

Mega Raffle:  This would be a 256 ticket raffle (regular formate were last place is the first block found, and so on...) that will be 0.00995 btc/ticket and includes the following prizes:
1st prize: 100 xmr coin + Spesmonerujo set (plus cert, letter and .jpg file)
2nd prize: 50 xmr coin + 5 xmr brass coin (plus cert, letter and .jpg file)
3rd prize:  25 xmr coin + 1 mbtc binary bull coin (plus cert and .jpg file)
4rth prize: MCC set + Monero Polymerbit test note + 1/.5 xmr set (#49)
5th prize: (Yogg) December history cold card + The Economist "Trust Machine" magazine + Bitcoin Penny invisible roll

(some of the items not shown)

I'm going to let this thread go for a little while and put up a poll between the two.  I'm going to reserve the right to choose however I want to run it, but I will take into consideration the polling and the comments in the thread.

Thanks

Think I could try my luck for 1 ticket in a mega.

Would be a shame to break up a matching number set. Lovely coins.

I agree. Have been thinking of selling my set as well. Funny how you posted this the day after I starting thinking!

Sweet grades btw, that's fantastic.

Very nice set phishead!

The 100/50/25 coins belong together IMHO. And I am very sure the coins will miss their big brother and little sisters as well when separated  


Edit: too slow on mobile!

nice coins

[buckrogers]

Keep them as a set - do a huge mega raffle for them as a set + any extras - I’d be down for a few tickets 😎

Thanks!!

[Hhampuz]

Agree with everyone else if you were to raffle - keep as a set. Nothing wrong with taking a chance for a super grand prize. Might even incentivize more people to buy a ticket .

[alamjob239]

.00995 times 256 tickets = 2.5472 BTC = 21779.02 USD

I think it is very fare. Lets do raffle.

[owlcatz]

That's a good price, I was thinking about 2.5 BTC as well. Dayum... 

[alamjob239]

I don know if you will get 256 people to pay .01 btc for the raffle.

Question: Are these the first Monero coins? If not Who is the first Monero coin maker and which year they came out because I am interested into the 1st edition as always.

Thanks you sir.

I forgot how sexy those are . I never win raffles but I'm definitely interested in an auction.

AFAIK, The first actual Monero silver coins came from Cryptonic21, on his site cryptonic.net back in 2014. (These were not loaded, but very nice nonetheless).

However, Smoothie/Lealana was the first to come out with loaded Monero coins a few years later.

Mega Raffle FTW!!

Thank you all. I gotta have cryptonic then and I know exactly who has tons of that.

Any decision from the original thread owner for the raffle

So for the possibility of doing the raffle, if I were to keep the set for the 1st place winner (which seems to be the popular opinion right now) how would you guys like to do the runner up prizes?

2 prizes.....  The silver set as first and the rest for second. 

I also think 2.5BTC is a huge premium for whoever posted that..... the last silver set sold for 225 XMR.

I didn't post it, alaknob did the "rough" maths lol... But I wouldn't part with my set for less myself. That auction was shit, I agree, but these coins are some of the finest crypto coins made, IMO, and if you truly believe in Monero, they are worth hodling, if possible.

Maybe just do the math in XMR for pricing etc.... then just give people the option to pay in BTC?  I'm sure an XMR hodler would want the majority of their XMR back.
