Does the gold plating on the BTC look like that or is it bad lighting?

From the diff pics posted, it would seem the gold looks like that.

I would believe that Mike would exchange it without a problem; however, you have to also consider that it might (possible) be worth more as an 'error' than anything else.

What is a shame is that the coins were not numbered.   Meh.

I can swap them for better ones for defects that are unique to individual coins. Sometimes the marks are in the die itself, and that just ends up on all the coins, but if gold is out of place, I can swap to improve that.

so you gonna answer my pms on how to swap my coin for another one?

Looking forward to hearing how many were officially released.

Got my shipping notification today.  Really excited to get one of these.

I feel you guys. I ordered mine on the 4th of January and it's still not shipped. The two weeks have already passed and I think that this is ridiculous. Even Chinese ship stuff faster (within 10 business days and 70% of the time it's after 1 business day).

4th Jan.. pffft
I ordered the 24th Dec 2014, no sign of the coins yet, the order is stated as complete, but no tracking has been provided, so I have no idea where my coins are.

Finally got my coins!

Mine still haven't shipped and I'm getting pretty pissed about it.

It took a couple weeks for mine to ship. Not sure what makes this such a slow turnaround.

This is bitcoin.  There has to be Drama and anticipation.  It's what makes it work.  Kind of like waaaaiiiiting for confirmations.

$119.88 For a coin delivered to NY is crazy. I really wish Mike would sell these on his own or from a vendor who could deliver the coin for $100. 20% markup with shipping and tax is brutal.

I agree.  The price is high and shipping is high.  Meh, you know that up front.
The only thing that bothers me is the number of people that complain about it afterwards.  You either want the coin or not.  Complaining about the price afterwards seems strange.

I would be MORE upset if they changed the price to $50 after so many purchased at $100.  That would be something to complain about.

It has been 3 weeks now and it still shows as processing. Is there anything I can do, because this is getting ridiculous?`

[Michail1]

You could call them and email them.

Their info is on the site.

I send an email to them around 7th of Jan and politely asked if my coins where shipped yet (included ofc order number).
Just got an answer today (yah) - that they will get back to me as soon as possible and my email has been forwarded to someone who could answer my question.
So I answered politely that they could close my case since my coins arrived last week

I sent them an e-mail today with the same question and it has been forwarded to someone else with the question how far the order is. We shall see how it goes.

For those of you who already have had their coins shipped, roughly how long did it take for them to arrive (U.S. btw).  I received an order shipped email on Jan 20th, and have not received anything 9 days later.  I am getting unhappy with stryde, especially considering the $15 I was forced to pay for shipping, this thing should have been here next day.  Also it says UPS was the shipping method, but I can't find a tracking number anywhere, either in the email or under my account on their website.  Why on earth would they not send a tracking number with an order that was over $100?

[Mitchell]

I have asked stryde for an update on my coin 5 days ago and I still haven't received anything (except an "we will look into it"-answer). I asked again two days ago, but still nothing. Getting suspicious and really annoyed right now.

Mine took 8 days, but they are on the East Coast while I am on the west Coast.
They shipped via UPS which is slower than USPS; however, it is WAY more secure and automatically insured.

You were not forced to pay $15 in shipping.  You didn't even have to order it.  Sorry, it just kills me that people know UP FRONT what the cost is and complains about it after the fact.  Just consider it a $115 coin with free shipping.

I do agree that they should have emailed a tracking number.  They do need to change.  I didn't find out my tracking until I signed for the package. 

If you want a coin fast, just PM me.  I will sell for $100 + $6 shipping (paid via Bitcoin of course) via USPS Priority Mail.  Fair?

I ordered within a few days of this topic being created.  It took so long to get to me (I am domestic usa too), that when it came in I was totally surprised as I forgot I had even ordered it.
