I have received my coin.

The front is interesting with the honeycomb pattern (or maybe they are linked chain pieces to represent the blockchain?) as the background, but what caught my eye is the mirror finish face of Satoshi.
If you hold the coin just right, you can see your own face in the reflection.... because "we are all Satoshi" Cheesy

The hologram appears to be of decent quality and some of the printing is quite highly detailed
What stood out is some of the color shifting elements throughout the hologram... lots of red to green to purple. Very nice.

I did open the slab/capsule it came in to further inspect the coin and check the key underneath the hologram
The coin did test as 0.9999 silver

Upon peeling the hologram, only the top plastic layer came off cleanly, leaving the patterned residue behind.
Trying to get the private key paper off was a bit daunting as it had some kind of adhesive on the under side making it hard to peel off.

EDIT: I just realized the key was printed on vinyl?... interesting concept. I wonder how this affects the ink / durability of the printing Huh

Being that, the QR codes for both public and private addresses were clear and easy to read.
Overall, a nice coin and hologram that are of decent quality.
Only a few things that I would recommend a change to:
1) Smaller recess for the hologram so it fits a bit better (or a slightly larger hologram)
2) Do not use sticky/adhesive on the underside of the private key.

Thank You Miner Jones for your detailed and scientifically approached review. We’re glad you have noticed so many aspects of the hologram; this was an area of the coin we cut absolutely no corners on. You have pointed out the use of Vinal on our holograms, this along with our Fully patented anti tarnish treatment, are innovations we bring to physical bitcoins. Our anti tarnish treatment and vinyl holograms have been exhaustively tested under extreme laboratory conditions including 90 minutes in an autoclave set to 250 degrees Fahrenheit with 30% atmospheric pressure. We tested our coin alongside many other physical bitcoins (I won’t name These coins, as I am not here to shine a negative light on anyone’s coins) and found that only the ballet wallet could withstand these conditions, as depicted in the pictures below. After 90 minutes, the hologram continued to self-destruct as you described (leaving adhesive behind behind), the glue continued to adhere to protect the privacy of the keys, and the keys continued to be scannable with a QR reader, ensuring the value could still be redeemed. We have designed our holograms to last for 20 + years and have the testing back it!
