This 18-karat gold TiffCoin by Tiffany & Co., is being offered by GreatCollections in a May 19, 2024, auction.

(Irvine, California) – April 29, 2024 – An 18-karat gold TiffCoin by Tiffany & Co., is being auctioned by GreatCollections on Sunday, May 19. The rare collectible is the first to be authenticated and graded by Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS).

Only 499 were produced by the 186-year-old Tiffany & Co., and they sold out in a few hours on their website two years ago. A day before the gold piece’s release, Tiffany teased that the firm was launching TiffCoin as a new cryptocurrency, an announcement that was picked up by national media, including Forbes. But instead of offering a cryptocurrency, Tiffany produced this physical collectible in 18-karat yellow gold weighing 38.9 grams. The iconic Tiffany & Co., “T” from their logo has been enhanced with two horizontal lines similar to the Bitcoin logo.

“Tiffany successfully merged their luxury brand, physical gold, and the cryptocurrency collectibles category with this TiffCoin release. With such a low mintage, they are in very strong hands, as only one or two have appeared on the market since their release. We expect strong bidder participation in this auction,” said Ian Russell, president of GreatCollections.

The TiffCoin was graded PCGS MS67 and comes with the original packaging in pristine condition: the special Tiffany jewelry box in blue, folio, hand-numbered certificate of authenticity, and blue pouch.

Tiffany & Co., is not new to producing collectibles. For over 150 years, Tiffany medals have been made in bronze, silver, and gold covering a variety of topics, including college awards, memorial medals for New York firefighters, political medals for William Jennings Bryan, and many others. More recently, from 1973 until 2007, Tiffany produced silver and gold medals that could be spent in their stores on fine jewelry.

GreatCollections has sold two cryptocurrency-related collectibles for over $1 million each, including a 2011 25 BTC Casascius gold-plated piece for $1,698,750. Earlier this month, GreatCollections auctioned a 2012 1 BTC Casascius for $77,625.

看一看过几天的拍卖结果，稀缺性和品牌能带来多大的溢价水准。

查了一下，此币投资价值不大，这个首饰公司几十年前就出售这样的Token了，目前也就是出售价的2.5倍，连贬值速度都赶不上。这枚币是2022年愚人节出售的，当时售出价$9999,这是Tiffany品牌粉丝们的赏玩物，估计暂时会站在一个较高的价位（2万刀？），但升值速度最终会输给通胀指数

有点让我想起BTC的实物秘钥币，要买的人应该是通过BTC达到了一定财富高度，买来做情怀用的吧哈哈当然也不失为一个不错的持有方式，毕竟卖的时候稍微又麻烦了一点。

这是富人群体的赏玩物，普通人看都不用看了

是否值得投资，现在判断为时尚早。等以后升值了N倍，大家就会说她值得投资，没怎么升，大家都会说不值得投资。全部都是马后炮，这个世界就是这样，有谁能提前预知呢？如果世界上有早知，就该在比特币刚刚问世的时候砸锅卖铁买比特币，但是全世界没人这么做，大家都认为不值得投资，结果如何？现在一地的碎眼镜片啊

不过，金币的升值空间好像普遍比银币的空间要小些，不知道为何？

2021年DIOR也发过纪念币，法兰西瑰宝主题的纪念币。
