This is a #2, he said the lowest available to the public.....I wonder who got #1

Still a NUMBER 2 in ANY collectable is way more respectable than a #3 and up, any way you slice it.
monkeynuts purchased the #1. I sold it privately.
I'm happy to see these reselling well. For anyone looking for more info about these, see my sig below. They have been sold out.
Its a less expensive way to closely replicate the Hardcover Autograph Edition (AE) where I was told by elianite that 4 books sold for $5000 each (or equivalent value) several months ago when the price of BTC was much less. While those AE books are stamped and strictly limited edition, they came with the same set of autographs and holograms, as well as COA. The AE were given COA's #31-50.
Is that the version I have and tried to sell a few months back?
If I recall, you have a limited numbered & stamped "Maker's Edition" where I believe 35 were allocated & offered for sale to all the coin makers who signed but only 25 or so were sold. Labels were added to your book. I dont know for sure the Autograph COA for yours, but possibly #21.
mj is offering in this auction a regular un-numbered non-limited edition book with the labels added. The Autograph COA is #2.
For reference, there were also another 25 limited numbered & stamped "Autograph Editions" made. One book was lost in the mail. All of these have the label sets added, and were given COA's #31-50.
So the difference in this auction and yours, blazed, is in the limited book edition, as well as the Autograph COA number. But otherwise, they are similar.
