Announcement
Monday, August 25, 2014
---------------------------------

Today, we are happy to present to you the newest version of the Cryptolator Unchained series, the Cryptolator Unchained MERLIN GOLD series.

ONLY 100 numbered coins in the series, so grab one now!



I am bitguy101 / cflow01 / thecryptostore2013 (bitcointalk handle & 2 eBay ID's).(top rated Power Seller).I have done quite a bit of business with forum members both on and off site, so feel free to verify my trust and eBay ratings.

We are the Official USA distributor for Cryptolator and have dealt with them for some time now and with their first series of .999 SILVER coins.


Pricing will be higher on eBay and we are happy to offer discount pricing here to our fellow forum members. Smiley



***IMPORTANT***
These coins come factory assembled but empty (not loaded with digital BTC) by default.


Coin Pics (These are actual pictures of the coins)







Information on the Cryptolator - Unchained MERLIN GOLD Series:


Merlin Gold(TM) (Merlin Gold is a mix of metals that mimic gold) coins are now immediately available for sale exclusively through us, the official USA distributor.

This series comes in an air-tight capsule with a leatherette box and a certificate of authenticity.

These are all factory assembled by Cryptolator and come only in the "private key" single signature version and include the leatherette box with COA. Each MERLIN GOLD coin will have a factory applied gold hologram stating "original".

Series' denomination is also 0.1 Bitcoin. The size of the coin is 39mm.

This series has only 100 numbered coins available.  All coins have their own serial number, which is engraved on the coin itself. Numbers start at 001 and end at 100.


As in the first series of .999 SILVER coins, 20 additional coins were not serialized and were reserved for supporters, friends, and special edition coins.

There are 20 of the MERLIN GOLD coins and 20 of the COPPER series coins that exist that will be created in the same or similar manner. We will be releasing an official list of the 20 original coins and of these subsequent ones soon.
(A few special ones from the first .999 SILVER series and these series may be available for sale or auction in the near future.)




AVAILABILITY AND PRICING:

Numbers's 1-20 and #100 will only be available slabbed and graded from ANACS for a premium. (We feel the top 20 coins and #100 are more desirable and grading should only further add to this.) We cannot guarantee the grade that will come back on these, however out of the 10 or so .999 SILVER ones I sent out prior, most were MS-65 or 66, with only 3 coming back MS-68. So you may get lucky!  Wink

Number's 21-99 are avail non graded.  (However any from #21-99 can also be graded upon request for same pricing as other graded ones.)

Currently, #'s 1,2,3,4 are not available. (Sorry, #1 may be released later with the special edition ones, and #'s 2,3,4 went to collectors I have done much business/trades with.)

So now initially #'s 5-20 and #100 are still available in graded ANACS format. (coins are in hand and are being shipped to ANACS tomorrow or Wednesday and should be back in hand graded within 10-14 days.)
 
So also now initially #'s 21-99 are still available and are in hand for immediate shipping.

Please keep checking the thread as we will periodically update #'s sold as they become unavailable.

Pricing for ANACS graded coins is currently:

 .15 BTC shipped (Continental US by first class post USPS), or add $15 equiv for int shipping for 1st item, or $25 int for 2 items. (please PM for s/h for higher quantities).
(Please use Coinbase spot price to calculate current shipping equivalent. (just get as close as you can and round down to nearest one thousandth. Example: .03456, just use .034).
 Pricing for coins may change if BTC fluctuates too much below or above $500. Current paid orders are NOT subject to change.

Pricing for NON-ANACS graded coins is currently:

 .10 BTC ea. shipped (Continental US by first class post USPS), or add $15 equiv for int shipping for 1st item, or $25 int for 2 items.

(These are pretty heavy (8 oz or so ea) with leatherette box and packaging. Insurance is available upon request for additional cost. Once shipped, liability for item will fall upon the USPS (only if insured.) We will provide tracking, however we will not be liable for items lost or not received if not insured.




To purchase:

Please post a reply on the thread for a particular #(s), and that #(s) will be held/deemed sold to you. If you prefer to purchase anonymously, pls PM me, however numbers cannot be held until I respond and mark the number sold on the thread, and you may loose a number if another member posts the same number on the thread prior to me responding.

Coins can be reserved immediately and once reserved will need to be paid for by 12 noon the following day. (Eastern std time zone)(FL, US) or will back up for grabs. I will periodically update coins confirmed sold or add back coins that come back up available, however may not do so prior to the time deadline. If you see a coin reserved and it does not say it was paid prior to deadline, this does not automatically mean it was not paid in time. Please feel free to then post you want that particular #, however all availability shall be confirmed by me and subject to my confirmation. This shall serve to avoid any disputes over a certain number.

Coins will be shipped within a couple business days of receipt of payment, or in the case of ANACS graded coins, will be shipped within a couple days once back from ANACS. Please check back on the thread to confirm we have received the coins back as we cannot notify everyone individually. please note: If you have chosen to have a coin graded from #21-99, we only do shipments to ANACS every 2-3 weeks and delays in receiving your coin will be subject to this.

As to avoid scammers, payments should ONLY be sent to:

1CBCmQW4WieaJwcctwZ5gfmmNCwZNFTCYU

DO NOT send BTC to any address you receive in a PM from me or someone who may be posing as me.

After you pay, pls PM me and let me know your shipping address and any special notes or details.


If you or someone you know does not have BTC available and wishes to pay by Paypal, Please visit our eBay store as these will be available for sale there as well. Prices on eBay will be higher, so if you do not want to pay the "buy it now" price, please send me a PM here with your Paypal address and I will send you an invoice for fiat equiv of pricing on this thread.

Thanks in advance for your interest in these beautiful coins and please feel free to PM with any questions you may have. We have just recently relocated from Northern Florida to South Florida, and my kids just started school last week, so have been and am very busy, so I apologize in advance for any delays in replies.  Smiley


OTHER NON MERLIN GOLD CRYPTOLATOR ITEMS:


INFORMATION ON THE ORIGINAL CRYPTOLATOR 1.0 BTC .999 SILVER SERIES 1.






https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=585707.0

Remember, there were only 140 numbered ones ever made in SILVER and have been sold out for a while.

If you missed the first series 1.0 BTC .999 SILVER coins, or just need another one, we have a few listed on eBay and also will be listing a few ANACS graded ones. We will start a separate sale thread in the next few days and will post it here, but as they are priced higher on eBay, they are available here and discounted to members for:

Non graded random numbered coins (over #50) for .25 BTC shipped. (or see rates above for international).

Graded ANACS ones will be listed by grades and will post prices with sale thread.




Information about the CRYPTOLATOR COPPER SERIES:

Note: The COPPER 1-500 coins are only available direct from Cryptolator. Please see link for thread and order those direct from them. (We will be Re-selling some on eBay in the near future, however pricing will be higher).



https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=745156.0;all

The second series, in Copper, is available right now direct from the manufacturer, Cryptolator.

That series comes in an air-tight capsule with the possibility to add a leatherette box and a certificate of authenticity.

500 Fine Copper .999 coins have been minted for that series. That series' denomination is also 0.1 Bitcoin. The size of the coin is 39mm.
Each Fine Copper coin will have a gold hologram stating "original" if purchase with single-signature or multi-signature feature or three unapplied silver hologram stating "personal" if you chose to go the DIY way.

All coins have their own serial number, which is engraved on the coin itself. Numbers start at 001 and end at 500.

Each coin(s) will be delivered empty. They can be either funded by Cryptolator directly (You provide us the Bitcoin to a given address and we fund it once it has been delivered) or by the customer itself.

Our online tool (https://dashboard.cryptolator.com) can easily tell you if a coin is either empty, partially funded, funded or over funded.

Sweet!

Around when are you receiving the copper coins? It might be easier to wait and get one from you.

You mention ANACs graded coins, but I can't seem to find what grade they are. Did you already have them graded or will you grade them after the purchase?

If i'm not wrong, #1-#20 and #100 are just being sent for grading and so by purchasing a graded one it actually depends on luck how high the grade is going to be when they're back. To quote OP "We cannot guarantee the grade that will come back on these, however out of the 10 or so .999 SILVER ones I sent out prior, most were MS-65 or 66, with only 3 coming back MS-68. So you may get lucky!  Wink"

You are correct, #'s 1-20 and 100 are in mail to ANACS now. A MS-65 is a great coin still, but if they come back higher, that much better for the purchaser. I decided to do it this way so people would not have to wait to get these reserved. Also no cherry picking on grades as these are all one price with no premium for better grades as I could have waited and just sold some of them for higher price likely.

I will say this though, I am assuming these ANACS ones will all be sold prior to receiving the coins back from ANACS in a couple weeks, so I wouldn't wait too long. If any are not reserved by then, I will not likely post the grades if any are remaining that are not sold. I may even pull any exceptional ones to hold onto personally or for eBay or auction.

Thanks
