Description
Rarity Check silvered brass Proof Loaded (Unredeemed) "Ironkey's Maze - Missing Fortunes" 0.001 Bitcoin (BTC) 2023 PR70 Deep Cameo PCGS, Ahonen Unlisted. Mintage: 200. Serial #006. LCS2; V2-006 on the hologram. Firstbits 1D5kWqj9. A pristine, unimprovable example from Rarity Check's Limited Collector Series 2 (LCS2). Accompanied by a PCGS certified, laminated matching COA."7,000 BTC in IronKey's maze, another 7,500 BTC in Newport's haze. Two missing fortunes of the digital age." This oft-cited phrase captures two of Bitcoin's most infamous losses: one involving a hardware wallet with a lost password, the other a hard drive mistakenly discarded in a Welsh landfill. The IronKey remains locked and unrecovered to date, and the Newport hard drive lies buried still-two modern legends of digital-era misfortune.
