They look nice, 10 bucks is also a good price.

I have a few of these myself, great coins for very reasonable price + Serp is great guy to trade with.

I have done my DIY in a little "different" way, as I am not planning to sell the coins I have loaded, then is there no need to destroy the priv key after print. I have save the priv key and encrypted it (with truecrypt) and stored the file on a USB stick, that allows me to have a backup of the priv key. If any of the two is lost (coin or file), then is it still possible for me to retrieve the funds.

Thats a good idea but I wanted this to be one access only. I might do this though. Has anyone had experience with opening a wallet 1-2 years old that was written on paper?

thanks i will check it out. 

Replied to your Pm.

Something I forgot to add, Where are you shipping from?

Great!  Hope you like them!

got my coin yesterday it looks great!!!  fast shipping also. still looking for someone with the first one that wants to sell.   

My package was properly taped and was not excessive at all.  Had to be a fluke I would say as it was quite easy to open.  

You have not wasted $20
There are other ways of creating the private key + print.

I did not use the DIY software.
I created the private keys using a copy of www.bitaddress.org, copied the HTML file to a offline computer with a printer attached.
(I actually tossed a dice 99 times to create a random BASE99 number, so I did not have to trust ninja's random generator)

I then made a template in paint (2 x square that fits serp coins if folded), and copy-pasted in the private in one of the squares and the puplic key in the other square.

Print, cut, fold, and assemble.

Very easy to do, all with standard software.

(also recommended to "test/verify" the private key offline with bitaddress.org before loading the coin)

Edit: I do not want to hijack serp thread, PM and I can help you with this method if you like the idea and my explanation is not clear enough.

Well I hope you like the coins!  I actually had a postal worker lecture me on not taping enough once so maybe I do overkill it now?  I'm not currently using self adhesive mailing labels so I just get the 4 sides of the label and then once over top of your address.  I will probably pick up a thermal printer soon.
