Description

Unfunded 2013 Lealana 1 Litecoin. Firstbits LbfZ7L8X. Serial No. 6686. Buyer Funded. Green Address, Serialized. Nickel Brass. MS-68 (ANACS).

Unfunded and non-loaded. This coin features Ultra Gem quality with virtually flawless surfaces. It is an exciting example of the transitional Buyer Funded variety first issued in May 2014, indicated by the green address on the hologram. This type was produced in response to federal requirements from the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) related to Money Services business and only 5,000 were minted. Under the new Buyer Funded format, buyers of these Lealana coins were responsible for sending the cryptocurrency to the coin's address themselves at a later time. Though dated 2013, the present piece was actually funded with cryptocurrency in 2017. This type was actually the final variety produced by Lealana founder Noah Luis, aka "Smoothie". They remain historic artifacts from this important development in the cryptocurrency market.

NGC ID: 5LC2.
