Description

Redeemed 2017 Titan Mint 0.1 Bitcoin (BTC). Firstbits 1KC7T3n9. Serial No. 258. Silver. 31.8 mm. Proof-64 Deep Cameo (ICG).

This is a redeemed cryptocurrency coin that does not contain any actual cryptocurrency. Watery and heavily mirrored fields frame satiny and brilliant devices on each side. Titan Mint was launched in October 2013 by Tim Fillmore based in California. The iconic symbolism of the Roman God Mercury featured on the obverse of these coins will undoubtedly be familiar to fans of classic U.S. numismatics and the Mercury silver dime in particular. The Titan Mint series is notable as only the second to debut a 1oz gold bitcoin after Casascius. Specialist Elias Ahonen notes in his Encyclopedia that Titan Mint also "introduced a new and unique design aspect in their holograms. They expanded Casascius' design of using a hologram window to verify the coin's contents by adding a much larger window and a QR code by which anyone could quickly check and verify" the funded status. Struck in 1oz of .999 fine silver, these 2017 0.1 BTC coins boast a mintage of just 1,000 pieces. This coin also includes a number and signed Certificate of Authenticity from Titan Mint.

*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.
