[ANN][WTS]Sport Series - Basketball Coin Crypto Imperator SOLD OUT

[CryptoImperator]

Hello fellow Bitcoiners, I present you with the result of this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5216275.0

It all started with a hand drawn Walter Moore Sketch gotten by dolphriends, which has been converted into a silver coin! And hopefully the start to a Sport - BTC coin series.

Crypto Imperator Basketball coin:




Weight: 1 Troy Oz .999 Fine Silver. (40mm diameter)
Design: Basketball!
Quantity: 50 (Numbered)
Denomination 0.01 BTC

The objective is to end up with a 5 coin series all related to sports, Hockey, Soccer, Football… depending on how well received this coin is.

All would have the same limited mintage, 50 coins, but with a lower denomination given current BTC surge.

The price for this first coin is 250$, which includes shipping. + 0.01 BTC for funding Each coin includes the allocation of the serial number in the series. So if you get a #number of this first coin, you have the right to get the same number on subsequent releases.

If you only happen to like the first one but not the second, you can waive that right and not buy it, but then on the third one you won’t have preference.


Next coins in the series will be priced at about 230$. Due to the pandemic and other recent issues I had to change mint, which has brought cost up substantially.

Numbers #3 to #10 will be auctioned once #11-50 are sold.

Auctioning only #3 to #5

Furthermore, as per design deal, #1 & #2 are not for sale.

Orders as always, by PM or email cryptoimperator at gmail.com

Available numbers:

#3-5: Auction

There is no limit of coins per customer.

Nobody is going to comment how he is in the usa selling loaded coins he created? Isn’t that a no go

I think you might be confused.
 
I am not, and never have been, based in the USA. Furthermore all my coins are shipped unfunded, only funding them once the customer confirms reception.

Your selling btc for cash since it is included?

I didn’t realize you could sell loaded coins imported into the us.

I think you are confusing things. The coin + shipping is $250. This does not include the .01, which the buyer also transfers into what is essentially escrow. The coin is sold and shipped unloaded, but the funding escrow ensures the coin is loaded upon receipt. Additionally, as stated CI is not based out of the US. It also goes without saying that it is the buyer's responsibility to be aware of any restrictions and to pay any customs or duties that may be applicable upon arrival.

I’ve bought many coins from CI and have never incurred any extra customs fees or charges on them. CI’s coins IMO are gorgeous and the maker I collect the most. I hope all of these sell so we can see what next is in store for us. Hockey anyone?

I have been hesitant to say this, but I was looking forward to these coins to be honest as I'm a sports fan in general.  The problem I have is they are just too damn expensive.  I just can't justify $250.00 for a 1oz silver coin..... and YES, I know all that goes into making coins etc.  I can only see 2 things making this coin so expensive....
1. greed  ($99.00 or $149.00 for most previous CI coins)
2. poor planning (using BTC to make these before the price bump and now trying to recoup from your mistake)
Either way, I can't support the final product as much as I'd like to support dolphriend's idea.  Sorry, just too expensive.

I’ve been holding back the same. What justifies a 10X markup? Spot Silver is $24.20 right now so $250 for a 1oz silver coin with a picture of a basketball is ridiculous. I really like some past CI coins but this sales thread is offensive.

[CryptoImperator]

Everyone can have their opinion on price; but, as far as I know, this is a free market, I am not forcing anyone to buy. Pricing is fixed, if you want to further discuss it I would kindly ask you to create another thread, to keep this one to doubts regarding the coin itself. 

Thank you

Step right up, don't be shy and get your basketball coin today.  When I get mine I'm going to have it graded and put it on display with a few GOAT basketball cards .  Curious to see if it will grade at 70 as I have rarely seen MS70.  Will post after grading .
