The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks - The Times - Francis Elliot & Gary Duncan

Description:

On January 3, 2009 the first event on the Bitcoin block chain occurred.  Its founder placed an important notation indicating the intent behind what he had just created.  The London Times ran a cover story entitled “Chancellor on Brink of Second Bailout for Banks”. This title was quoted and embedded into the very first coinbase transaction ever to be included in the new Bitcoin Time Chain, by Satoshi Nakamoto.  The block containing this transaction was called The Genesis Block. 

This newspaper is the most rare, and most valuable Bitcoin collectible in existence. Only 8 verified copies of this newspaper exist, and not all of them are complete and include the extra inserts. This one is number 9. This copy is complete, and was substantially unread. 

It's been treated with the highest of care. All paper sheets have been meticulously placed in archival plastic polypropylene sleeving. 

It includes the extra inserts: 2 times Magazines (1 gloss finished), And 3 Extra Newpaper-Like sections, 2 of which are stapled, while the middle most "Money" section has free floating papers. 

The full main newspaper is 96 pages in very good condition (24 full sheets). It is a monumental piece of Bitcoin history that I hope to share with the world.
