Are these going to be thin enough to get slabbed?

UPDATE #1: The first batch of silver, copper, and 1/4oz gold coins will ship at week's end. The remaining orders will ship once finished. (Handcrafting each coin takes a bit of time.) UPDATE #2: Our new Spanish Treasures Collection is now available for purchase directly on our website ( BitcoinPenny.com) for those who prefer the purchasing power of dirty fiat (PayPal / credit card). UPDATE #3: Finally, after many months and years, several new projects which we have been patiently and quietly developing have finally come to fruition. All at the same time. LOL Therefore, some of these new projects will be announced and released simultaneously, and some will be released individually a little later in the year. Please bear with us while we mass drop some epic goodness. Are these going to be thin enough to get slabbed? Great question! According to the ICG website: "ICG’s attractive, tamper-evident holder...measures approximately 3 1/4 x 2 1/2 x 3/8 inches...It holds coins, medals and tokens as large as 40 mm across and 4.5 mm thick...We will also custom cut gaskets to fit “odd” shaped coins."Our thickest pirate treasures are only 3mm, so there is plenty of room in the ICG slabs. (I haven't checked the other grading services, but I would imagine that they are all very much the same.) Thanks again, mateys! Regards, Cap'n Chris @ TBPCo.

would it be an issue that it isnt perfectly round though? so would slide/move around within the holder?

According to their website, our treasures should slab beautifully, as they all meet the size requirements (9mm-40mm diameter, no more than 4.5mm thickness). Regards, Chris@TBPCo.

Cool Cobs!! Why do you not put keys on them?
Because then they would only feature a design on one side (sticker on the other) and wouldn't look like a "real" pirate treasure. But don't worry, we have new and exciting DIY coins ready to announce. We're just waiting a little while between precious metal releases. Coming soon... Regards, Captain Chris of the Bitcoin Penny

They really are a work of art. I would like to know if you could send them to graduate and send them ready. I understand that there will be a fee.

Thank you for the very kind words, thiago007! Along with minerjones (below), we are happy to assist in any grading needs. (We'd likely send them to minerjones for help with this.) I can help with any grading needs You, as always, are a wonderful addition to this forum. Thank you, MJ. UPDATE: All of the silver orders and half of the gold orders have shipped as of today. The copper orders will be shipped in 2 weeks. For the many of you who purchased multiple metals, please expect multiple shipments at no extra charge. Thank you again for supporting our little projects at The Bitcoin Penny Company. Regards, Chris@TBPCo.

I was a little worried that my wax seal COA (unique to every coin) would be too strange of an idea, but I loved its simplicity, so I ran with it. (Plus, in my extensive research for this project, I discovered that in the early 1700s, they rarely used holographic security stickers as an anti-counterfeiting measure. Wax seals were much more common.) Still more coins available, everyone! Buy yours today! Regards, Chris@TBPCo.
