Thanks for your input. The answer for flatening the one side of the coin is sandpaper, hours of rubbing it on sandpaper. Got the idea from this: http://www.m.haly.dsl.pipex.com/UFO_Photo/lap_CPU.jpg
Though, i will have to nickel (and/or gold plate) them on that side again. The biggest problem that i found is the damn hologram-stickers.

I will sacrifice one of those coins when they come, to see how it turns out. If i fail they will be just be a nice addition to my collection

I'd guess it would be that the adhesive tends to lift plate off of the base metal.

Just purchased 5 coins of each type 

payed trough bitpay
you can pm me after you've shipped?
thanks

many thanks 

Sent a PM, please let me know if I am not late to the offer.

Making arrangements to put all my funds into one location for my offer. (A location that is acceptable for you. )

EDIT: Arrangements made, just need to hear that coins are left, and the value in (USD), for my order.

Should be all set to go in an hour or two. Banks are snail-slow on Sunday... online banks... real banks are not open. (It should be illegal to "not be open", if you are a bank. Should be a federal law, "owners of currency will have unrestricted full access to their funds, at all times. In a FDIC ensured bank."... And they wonder why people don't like using banks! Economy-fail... They dug their own grave, and bitcoin will seal it, tap new screws, super-glue it, set it under cement, drown it in the ocean, and laugh at them! )

Your order shipped on 4/22 - and should take between 10 -14 days for delivery. The coins are heavy and I am not charging much for them so I ship with basic international post
You should be receiving them shortly.

just a lil question
how they're marked on customs declaration? what value you've given to them?
you know, i do not want bad surprises 

30 coins have been received!

Sorry for not reporting earlier but my psu on the main pc died and im in from a raspberry pi


Thank you mister!
I will update if i am able to do what i told on previous posts

EDIT: johniewalker, by the hologram problem i meant that how i could create the holograms. I have contacted casascius if he was able to help but never got a reply from him
Nvm, i found some generic ready made round stickers for the coins, will see how it goes and report back

1BTC coins are sold out. Still have 5s, and 10s,

Just as a thought but how does the law change if instead of exchanging the coins for fiat cash, you were to exchange for digital bitcoins or bitcoin vouchers, the coins could then hold value without the mess of dealing with money.

Im sure you have looked in to many ways to make this work and you have already sold off a lot of coins however I am interested in the legal side of things.

Perhaps even exchange for the likes of amazon gift cards, profit could be made on the affiliates fee and maybee the coins be very close to the real bitcoin cost, therefore making real life usage of the coins a possibility.

I might just be over/under thinking things.
