I received these yesterday, and they are beautiful. Really top-notch!

I opened one up to see how well it worked to scan the QR code off the metal:



There was a little residue at first, but some soap and water got it down to the mirror finish and I was able to easily swipe the key into my smartphone. This is a really slick design!

Thanks for making these!

Just to answer some more recurrent questions. This current line of coins I am not going offer to sell blanks or unfunded. I want to preserve the integrity of this line. Future coins are in the works for unfunded and customized funding denominations.

I should make an even bigger coin

Bar is coming, but need a few more months. It is hard to reconcile the demand for loaded coins and the demand for cold-storage only products. I am trying not to have to make a million different products because I am a small operation. For the time being other than the .25, .1, and .05 coins  (which will look similar to my current coins) I am working on a cold storage coins that will be totally customized for each customer. I am going to proceed with making the bar, however, just because I think they will look stunning and that is enough motivation for me I'm bound not to sell them all, but I enjoy the creative process so I'll keep at it.

Wow! Beautiful coins! So how did you get into this "hobby?" What kind of equipment would I need if I wanted to do something like this? Are there guides on how to create coins from scratch?

Many of you have asked about the new lower denominations coins. As of now they are set to be a .05 and .25 coin. Going with a nice gold 24k plating for the .05 and dual ring for the .25 (rose gold, silver).
Anyone who buys/has already bought one of my existing coins (.50, 1, 3) will be eligible to get one of the newer coins for FREE at the face value of the coin with no premium. Ill keep this offer open until further notice. This is a reward for your early patronage.

It's probably been half a year but I transferred a firearm to an FFL and the dealer needed a total amount so they could tax the buyer accordingly. Not sure if it was state or city law or if the dealer was just a dick but it may be law somewhere. I've had this requested only twice out of many thousands of transactions tho so IDK

wow these coins really are beautiful

i will definitely be looking to get one when i get some btc

I want to apologize to arashd for overreacting. I posted that he charged me sales tax when he shouldn't have and I accused him of being dishonest. It turns out that the sales tax was an accident and he refunded it immediately. I should have PMed him first with my objection instead of taking it public, and it would have been solved without any bad publicity.

Can I pick up a 0.05 or 0.25 btc coin? Do you accept paypal? Looks awesome!
