Just like it says on the tin: half a bitcoin, silver, 2013.

I'll be up front with you: I don't know anything about bitcoin or, specifically, this coin.  I got the coin from a crypto enthusiast, but I never got into crypto myself.
I know it's worth half a bitcoin at a floor, and an auction seems like the best way to find the ceiling. 😎

Is it series 2 or series 3?  I don't know.  You'd think this would be easy to find out; it's not.  The pictures are not helpful, and the wiki doesn't list the differences comprehensively.
Chain of custody?  Couldn't tell you.  It is currently mine and that's ~as far back as I can trace custody (gonna leave the previous owner out of this).
Grade?  Uuuhhhhh look at it.  As far as I know, it's never -- not one single time -- been in a protective case, and I can tell you for a fact that it's been touched by ungloved human hands.  I am touching it while I write this post.

If you've got fun facts about Bitcoin, this Casascius dude, or collectors' coins, I'm all ears. 🦻


Here's pictures: https://imgur.com/a/fkJSMZL
If you want more pictures of the coin for reasons that are unfathomable to me, I can take more, as long as they're not under the seal.

Here's "verification" that it's still loaded (I don't know how reliable this site, maybe you do): https://casascius.uberbills.com/?address=1Agj3S8Rr2QFW4m2mLFiR6JHG2zrbaUDj6


Starting bid is 0.6 BTC, 0.1 BTC increments.

I'll shut bidding down at 11:59PM PST on 26 September 2023.
Buyer pays escrow fees. 💸
