Description

Prized BTCC 0.1 Bitcoin in Titanium with Box and COA
Ultra Gem MS-68 (PCGS) Quality
2018 BTCC 0.1 Bitcoin. Loaded. Firstbits 1GNxJJoCD. Serial No. W00089. Series V. Titanium. MS-68 (PCGS).
Loaded with 0.1 BTC. This 0.1 BTC is actually the smallest Titanium denomination issued by BTCC, making it a CROWNING JEWEL for collectors seeking an example of this exotic composition. A lesser-graded MS-67 (PCGS) example sold for $10,200 in our December 2023 sale which was nearly 2.5x the face value at the time, indicating tremendous collector demand for this Titanium series. This specimen ranks among the finest known and just a single coin ranks higher at PCGS. This Titanium 100K Bits specimen is an important offering that represents one of the MOST ELUSIVE issues in the cryptocurrency category. The surfaces are nearly flawless and feature a pearly satin luster. This series debuted in June 2018 with a mintage of just 900 pieces, boasting exceptional production quality and "spacecraft-grade" titanium. The orange holograms used on these 2018 issues indicate they were funded with Bitcoin mined after the hard fork of August 2017. The issuer BTCC was founded in June 2011 as BTC China and it was the first Bitcoin exchange in that country. Based in Shanghai, it had become the world's second largest Bitcoin exchange by volume by October 2014 and it was officially rebranded as BTCC in 2015. It remains the longest-running cryptocurrency exchange in the world and is now headquartered in London, UK. Famed bitcoin entrepreneur Bobby Lee currently serves as CEO. Also included with this coin is the original box and COA from BTCC Mint. Public Address: 1GNxJJoCD9doWSXy54vqg6ZE8qcVrTX39q
