Not my auction and I am in no way connected to this.

I was just hoping to find some in the Coinstar reject slot .

...nothing like a few good tips from a chinaman selling 1oz Silver bitcoins for .99 cents OBO

GRANDAM

Seller has 47,230 100% Positive Feedbacks.

Swears coin is 1 oz .999 silver. He also has some silver plated for sale.

If somebody messed up with the B-I-N price of $0.99 with Free shipping they may be looking for a job soon.

BIGAL2749

That's a lot cheaper than the 3 I bought a couple of weeks ago. Have they gone down that much?

TurboSnail

Nice~ It's one troy oz of Chinese radioactive silver! Just in time to turn your thumbs green for spring.

I just got 10 of them...I’ll post them here if I get them

GRANDAM

Check the photo of the seller,,,,,, I have seen that same photo posted here on the Forum by a member.

Seems strange a Seller with 47,230 100% Positive Feedbacks would start selling fake silver?

Something is not right?

I picked 5 up. I know they won't be real silver... not sure how he thinks he is going to fool everyone. That's pretty cheap for a little trinket. Me and a few friends have been doing bitcoin, so it might be fun to give these out (unless they happen to really be silver, hahaha)

GRANDAM

I bought 6 pcs before I posted as I had $6.00 in eBay Bucks so,,,,,,,,,

Feedback was 100% positive when I started this thread,,,, now 99.2% positive.

GRANDAM

Selling out fast,,,,, better hurry.

Have your Metalytics devise ready, Beware of this China originated seller.

Nice .999% silver coin

You can get a gold plated solid silver one for the same price

If you look at the coin it says Copper, not Silver. So maybe a gold plate copper.

Batman23

It will be interesting to see what they test out as for those buying that have those metal determining gadgets.

ricko

This does not compute..... Obviously, for .99 cents, it is not much of a gamble, however, I doubt - very strongly - they are really one ounce of pure silver. Cheers, RickO

GRANDAM

It says .999 silver

I bought for the novelty of Bit Coin,,,,,, have no illusion it will be silver.

BobSav

I'm a sucker I bought 5, quick there are only five left

I got a half dozen as gag gifts. What happens when it is not solid silver (Ha)? Coins will be "not as described" and money refunded?

Kkathyl

I got 15. New Game, who ever gets them first must post pictures

Reverse of Bit Coin

My order has shipped. If they are silver plated I will be happy. Just wanted the Bit Coin Logo look.

I need a picture of a ...broken tooth...I bit the coin:)

Mines on the way.

coinpro76

They are silver plated.

jmlanzaf

Everyone is so obsessed with the possibility of stealing silver for 99 cents, you've missed the more obvious intrigue: how the eff do they make this out of ANY metal and ship them from China to the U.S., all for 99 cents?!?!?!

Look at their store. Full of 99 cents + free shipping.

The also have some gold plated ones, that they call a 2 pack, but I think it is more of a 3 pack, AKA Arnold Swartzenagger in the Total Recall Movie

GRANDAM

It still does not make any sense to me that a high positive feedback seller suddenly went rouge selling fake silver, especially when they are offering the same item that is clearly labeled silver or gold plated and without the COA. Hi-jacked account?

I anxiously await delivery of my order.

I think they should pay me a commission based on the 219+ pcs sold since I started this thread.

That's interesting. I knew much of that. I consider the shipping to be almost free. But I still can't figure out how you could even strike a 1 oz copper for that. I mean, at $3 per pound, an ounce of just copper is 20 cents or so. And that's without making dies, forming a planchet, striking coins and packaging, etc.

I doubt it's copper; it's likely some cheaper alloy.
And alibaba has them for $0.25-$0.75 per piece. So they must cost less than $0.25 to make.

Free shipping from China? On a .99 item?

hchcoin

It'll suck if you all owe $30+ dollars of postage due when it arrives

@GRANDAM said:

Yeah these ones said .999 silver too but the cost me $205.00 for 10 at the time. Seller was US based, used photos of real eagles in auction and refunded my $$$ immediately without a single question the second I received and told him they were fake. Ebay wouldn't do a thing about it, they wanted me to return to seller so they could go scam someone else. Seller told me to just keep them.

crazyhounddog

What do they make the real bit coins out of?

Kkathyl

@crazyhounddog a pipe and a dream or is it a fool with a pipe. Something like that.

Mine ship too. I will drill one and update 30 days from now.

Kkathyl

@derryb the listing has since been changed to 9.90.

privatecoin

I've already agreed to sell mine to a bitcoin supporter for $17.

I still see 99 cents....618 sold....already shipped via DHL eCommerce

BobSav

My Bitcoins have been shipped. I bought 5 and got $1.00 discount
5 Bitcoins for $3.95 and free shipping.

The post the U1Chicago made sums it up.

As long as these people make ANY profit they will keep selling junk like this,
They work on volume and I doubt their overhead is much.

Here is another chance to buy it where they list it as silver plated -

https://www.ebay.com/itm/10PCS-Bitcoin-Proof-1-oz-999-fine-silver-plated-commemorative-2500-minted/152843235952?_trkparms=aid=555018&algo=PL.SIM&ao=2&asc=47301&meid=1e9c18c3dd3a49e592b4d7c7f3ed5f43&pid=100623&rk=1&rkt=6&sd=362197944101&_trksid=p2047675.c100623.m-1

BigA

Interesting...those listed as silver plated are $9.99 + 60 cents shipping.

Those listed as .999 silver are 99 cents and free shipping....

Obviously both are the same but why pay 10X as much?

Your lucky you got your money back.
The seller could have claimed that the items in the pictures were not the ones he sent you.
He could claim YOUR scamming HIM.
and so it goes in the world of E-bay

@BigA the 9.99 listing is for 10 pieces...at least if the title is correct (description still says quantity of 1)....still $0.69 more than buying 10 at $0.99 each
