This 2014 Microsoul (.01 BTC) is the very first coin that Microsoul minted (he started minting them in 2013).
They are EXTREMELY RARE! To find out why, watch the video!
Feast your eyes on this Physical Bitcoin beauty and SUBSCRIBE to the YouTube Channel to be notified of the upcoming video of the even-rarer 2014 Silver Microsoul (.05 BTC).
In the summer of 2013, Matthew Rodbourne of the UK began selling a 1 BTC Physical Bitcoin. Later in the year, he released the first official series of physical Bitcoin under the name “Microsoul”. With increasing demand, his goal was to release a total of six different types of coins, all of which have clearly been inspired by Casascius designs.
Microsoul’s motto is “coins for the masses...”
with a stated purpose to deliver reliable, cost-effective, and beautiful physical Bitcoins to anyone interested in purchasing. This approach to Physical Bitcoin is very similar to the makers of the Satori coin in Japan.There are estimated to be 581 of these .01 BTC coins made – 487 in 2013 and 174 in 2014. What has been referred to as the “zombie error”, Rodbourne realized that there was an error in the program that was used to create the Bitcoin addresses of the coins. A s a result, there was a recall on many of the coins.
All of the 2014 coins have the same front, but there were 50 coins that have a different hologram that is dubbed “Series 2”. The hologram that you see here is the more-common Series 1 hologram, and this hologram is Series 2 coin with only 50 in existence.
