Coupon should be long gone, however there webpage seams glitchy, so might worth a try anyway (see quote below)

I made 2000.  Many of them won't be available on the market, Santa Claus got first dibs. Wink

Still fairly limited run Smiley

Just ordered mine, used a coupon code for 10% off, so US$90 for that amazing coin is a good deal Wink


EDIT : coupon code bitcoincongrats Smiley

EU shipping here. My order is still at "processing", I think it is normal. There is holiday right now.

Ye I know, just a few people mentioned items being dispatched and I got abit worried because of all the problems we've seen in this thread. Just looking for some reassurance thats all.

I have used other website with bitpay payment processors before. The order goes to "on hold" until bitpay have send a message to the webpage that it is bitcoins are confirmed, then is the status changed to "processing", meaning that the "parcel" is being processed, so nothing is really going to happen before somebody there does something about it (packing up and ship). I am 99% sure that company is legit, so not anything to worry about (imo).

Order #919 was placed on December 23, 2014 and is currently processing.

EU shipping as well Smiley

Then again, the site says 1-2 weeks until it ships so we'll see I guess Smiley

Way overpriced in my opinion, not even a do-it-yourself wallet "create and attach on coin" here...

Serp's gold plated coin for $10 is the way to go I think.  Tongue

Coupon code limit reached, bought three with shipping to EU for 1.000617 BTC, nice looking coins!

It says 91 left in stock, but that didn't update after I bought so it will be less than that I expect.

2014 12 30 Edit: 75 approx left atm.

It's quite possible I will release far fewer than 2000.  Only a few hundred have made it into the wild.

I had hoped to have these ready and on the market for the Christmas shopping season but didn't quite get them out in time.  Because of this, a few hundred sold.  I am sure I could promo the heck out of them if I felt like getting rid of them, but meanwhile, given that BitPay's got the St. Petersburg bowl for 3 years, the way I am producing them now, it's economically feasible for me to melt & remint what I don't sell, to become another coin such as the 2015 coin.  When they are no longer available on the Bitcoin Bowl website, that might well be the end of public availability for this 2014 coin.

Companies claiming they got hacked and lost your coins sounds like fraud so perfect it could be called fashionable.  I never believe them.  If I ever experience the misfortune of a real intrusion, I declare I have been honest about the way I have managed the keys in Casascius Coins.  I maintain no ability to recover or reproduce the keys, not even under limitless duress or total intrusion.  Remember that trusting strangers with your coins without any recourse is, as a matter of principle, not a best practice.  Don't keep coins online. Use paper or hardware wallets instead.

Didn't know BitPay had a three-year deal...that's awesome news Smiley

The less coins produced, the more value for those of us who ordered one, so I wouldn't mind seeing far less minted Smiley

If the article comes from a Bitcoin dedicated publication it's not something that can be considered "media attention." Only if the news hits external media outlets or publications - any outlet that doesn't specialize in Bitcoin - is it real attention.

So how did the bowl game go? Did the announcers talk about Bitcoin at all? If so, what was said?

This sounds like a good idea, having the collection of all three coins  for each bowl would be nice too. Once the 2014 coin is officially off the market publicly, will you let us know how many were officially sold and released into the wild?

I still argue that without a way to load these coins, they aren't very great but hey a casascius coin is a casascius coin I guess.

Get sick. Get well.

This is why I didn't buy one.

Even being a loadable coin would work for me.

I guess personally I am not into commemorative coins.

Mike has done great work with this coin, it just isn't for me.
