Thanks for mentioning my coin @phelimint. I started the project as an early steemit enthusiast who became enamoured back in July 2016.

I set out to create a physical coin about a month later. As you mention, my first attempt led to lack luster results from a Chinese manufacturer. The coin looked more like one of those chocolate coins we ate as kids. Too big and lacking definition. None of those coins were ever circulated.

About a year later I was able to connect with the manufacturer of the "bitcoin" coin you see in most articles about bitcoin these days. I took another risk and asked this Chinese manufacturer to strike a batch of a 100 gold plated copper coins. I was very pleased with the details of the coin and set about getting things set up on Amazon. As I winter in warmer climates and my country of choice has a slow postal system and I couldn't find a reliable person to mail out coins then I chose fulfillment by Amazon. Unfortunately the process of setting this up outside Canada required more time than I had available so it became limited to Canada.

There are only 100 coins in existence with about 20 being handed out to friends and family. 50 are on Amazon.ca and another 30 are with a friend.

I feel much gratitude that you are willing to buy some in bulk and make these available to a wider audience. I could arrange for the 30 or so coins to be delivered to you by my friend. Please contact me via steemit.chat/direct/masterinvestor.
