Ballet SILVER Bitcoin Cold Wallet Coins - FAKE?

[Cueneyt1986]

Hey Guys,

Today I have find this eBay announcement, but I can't find these coins on any Ballet websites...
Are these coins a fake?

https://www.ebay.de/itm/188843790907




Thank you in advance for your help!

I'd message the seller and ask for some photos or a video of the back of one of the coins. I think anyone can order custom cions or cards from Ballet in 50+ bulk orders. Not sure if that makes this legitimate or not. Maybe someone else who has gone through this process with Ballet can shed more light on this?

Edit: For example, Rarity Check has some nice looking coins with Ballet wallets. https://raritycheck.com/products/tws-speak-no-evil-0-001-btc

I don't think they already have the coin since it seems this should be a pre order: VORBESTELLUNG should means this.
Probably has been said already this could be a private edition or maybe a new version that has not yet published online...
Anywa ebay provide a better advantage to buyers and not to sellers...in case they are not "legitimate" buyer has all protection possible.

I have spoken with the person releasing the coins (on reddit - whether the eBay seller is the same person - unsure) and with Ballet - Ballet is making these coins.

(convo with my Ballet rep)



the reddit individual who is having Ballet create the coins is here:

I would verify with them if the eBay listing is valid. I will note that on reddit he has the price listed as 240 whereas the eBay one is 300

You can always check here for any official collaborations:

https://www.ballet.com/collaborations/

Currently only Rarity Check and Patriot Metals are listed, but I imagine once these come out of pre-order, hopefully they get listed on that page as an official partner

And do know that there is a least one "fake" that has been made..not sure if any were sold and the page is no longer active:

They copied the Ballet copper blocks....

the reddit owner of those threads got back to me - the eBay seller is him. so that it is a legitimate listing.

Hey! Yeah that's me.  Not a company or anything. I just made a custom 100 coin order with Ballet, with my own personal funds for my own personal collection.  I love the crypto-collectible hobby, especially the idea of combining precious metals with cold wallets.  I was introduced to Ballet through Cardsmiths Currency, and am just a fan.

I plan to offer up some of these for sale, to fellow fans and collectors.  But nothing is available for sale yet, they are in production right now, I just wanted to start to spread the word.  They will be ready for this Holiday season, fingers crossed!

Let me know if you have any questions, I learned a bunch in this process.
Thanks~

That design is really cool.  If you are willing to sell any directly, please count me in for 1.

Hey! Just wanted to provide an update as a couple links changed.  I now have an actual image of the coin, not just an AI mockup, so I wanted to update my posts.  I think I'm too new to post images here, feel free to repost images here if you want.

E-bay is up just as a place holder and to share info, it's marked up there and unfunded, please don't order from there yet.  I will figure out a way to offer some directly here as well.

Estimated November 2026, in time for the Holidays, thanks and stay tuned!

I will figure out a way to offer some directly here as well.

Interested in one as well. What is the pricing and does it include funding? Also, are these numbered in any way? If yes, I'd be interested in the lowest available number, if possible.

Good luck with the sale!

So I haven't officially started taking any orders.  I'm Just trying to get a sense for how much interest there might be, but since they are still in production and nothing is final yet, I don't want to make any promises. 
A couple people have already expressed interest in a bulk purchase, so I think they will go fast when available.

The plan is to batch load all 100 address with .001 BTC once I receive the list from Ballet.  Some people might not want loaded, and selling on a platform like ebay, it should be unloaded, so maybe some wiggle room there.  The estimated purchase price of $240 includes funding.

The plan with numbering is to go straight in serial number order, starting with the lowest, and number off 1-100.  This number is hand written on the tech spec card, along with the serial number, the coin will only have the serial number.  However, I've got some gamification ideas that I'm trying to implement, which might change the plan a little. 

Once the coins are complete and ready to ship I will make a post here offering them for sale.  I've been talking to MoparMining and I'll probably set aside a bulk amount with him for escrow sales directly on this forum.  As for now, if you want to leave a comment on my reddit post I'll put you on the list and make sure to let you know when they are ready for purchase.  Thanks!

if ballet follows suit with prior coins your first coin's serial number should end with "00" or "01" so if you get lucky you will get them sequentially direct from Ballet.

[ghostzerofox]

Oh that's great news on the serial numbers, fingers crossed! 

I forgot to mention I am interested in TRADING also, specifically for other silver coins or loaded Ballet products.  If this supply runs low I will give priority to trading over cash sales!
