Description

Redeemed 2017 Crypto Imperator "HODL" 0.01 Bitcoin (BTC). Firstbits 1HhsAYNW. Serial No. 94. Silver. 30 mm. MS-66 PL (ICG).

This is a redeemed cryptocurrency coin that does not contain any cryptocurrency. Released in 2014, the Crypto Imperator series enjoys a strong following on the influential BitcoinTalk.org forums where new issues are announced, distributed, and traded. Just 100 coins in total were issued from this series and were initially sold for $99 each. However, the #1 coin struck sold for the BTC equivalent of around $550 in a later forum auction. The HODL coins take their name from an accidental term that has been embraced by the cryptocurrency community. What was originally a misspelling of the world "hold" was later adapted into a acronym of "Hold On for Dear Life". This has become somewhat of a battel cry among crypto enthusiasts encouraging their compatriots to hold onto their portfolios and avoid selling even in downturns and other volatile situations.

*Loaded cryptocurrency coins will be reserved at their intrinsic cryptocurrency value on the day of the sale. Lots realizing $25,000 or more will be delivered via armored carrier ONLY. An additional shipping charge of five hundred dollars [$500] will be applied to domestic armored carrier deliveries, with additional fees for remote and international deliveries. Winning bidders may also pay their invoice via BitPay for a 1% fee after authorization by Stack’s Bowers Galleries prior to the sale. Additional terms and conditions apply.
