Description
Desirable 2013 Lealana 10 LTC in Silver
2013 Lealana 10 Litecoin. Loaded. Firstbits LQ1YkGgZ. Black Address, Non-Serialized. "Error" Variety. Silver. Proof-67 Deep Cameo (PCGS).
Loaded with 10 LTC. An historic treasure from the revered pre-2014 era of physical crypto, this is one of the earliest 10 LTC coins produced by Lealana. This early production is identified by a black address but no serial number on the hologram. Just 500 were reportedly issued of this variety, representing only 25% of the total mintage for the denomination. A similar example sold for $2,280 in our June 2023 sale. It is also notable as an example of the "error" variety made without the private key "pit" under the hologram. This "error" caused distortion of the hologram over time and a pit was added the planchet only after the first 1,000 coins had already been produced. Issued on a 30 mm planchet of 1/2 ounce of .999 fine silver and minted by Northwest Territorial Mint, the obverse features the Litecoin symbol, date, and denomination while the reverse features a holographic sticker with the firstbits address visible near the center.
