Description

2022 Rarity Check "Lost Coin" 0.001 Bitcoin. Loaded. Serial No. 077. Zinc Alloy. MS-68 PL (ICG).

Just 200 example of this type were released. The Lost Coin series was announced by Rarity Check on the BitcoinTalk.org forum in August 2023. This series takes inspiration from the quote by Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto relating to lost private keys. Satoshi remarked that "Lost coins only make everyone else's coins worth slightly more. Think of it as a donation to everyone." A version of this quote is featured at the top of the obverse on all varieties. Only 21 million Bitcoin will ever be released, but some Estimate:s suggest that as much as 6 million Bitcoin, about 28%, have already been lost and are inaccessible. The creators of the Rarity Check series took an innovative and bold approach to this concept by engineering a hole at the center of each coin to commemorate these lost Bitcoins. On the reverse is the Latin phrase "Pecunta Est Fiducia In Systematics" which translates to "Money is Trust in the System". This coin is also accompanied by the original Certificate of Authenticity from Rarity Check listing the coin information. Public Address: 1MME2Hb6EUAiooXxGvBby58cTbTyKosxHQ
