Mark, just a suggestion I would not offer doing deals outside of the forum with valuable items like this. Too many red flags and people getting scammed prior. I agree with using a trusted escrow with your same. Good luck with sale, nice coins!

I am still interested. We need to find an escrow agent, as I will not do this without one and we need to settle on a price. What were you thinking?
Can someone with high merit and references escrow for us?
As far as price goes, since it's not graded, do you have some pictures to get an idea of it's condition?Can someone with high merit and references escrow for us?

I've used minerjones in the past so would be comfortable with that option
I figured out from my messages that I have met Miner Jones in real life, way back.
I suggest @minerjones or @MoparMiningLLC

You won't get 1.4 to 1.5 here on the forum....
and as the dollar price of bitcoin increases, you will get less premium
Same goes with Stacks. If the price shoots up before/during the auction, your premium "btc" value will be less.
That is what I figured too, the longer I wait, the smaller the percentage, in any case.
Are you still interested in selling it? I'm interested in casascius coins.
I'd just redeem it and sell the physical after you've secured the BTC. The premium is so low and those of us that still have Cass coins have no idea if the private key is still legible under the Holo until we actually pull them. They are amazing collectibles but the higher the BTC $ price the lower the premium and eventually it's just not worth it with shipping, etc..
Well, I guess I should know what a redeemed 2011 Cass coin goes for. How much here?

The upcoming stacks and bowers auction will answer questions for a lot of us on what the market is for these. Later this month !

Yes...
1) Sell/auction coin here. Doesn't need to be graded. You get BTC.
2) Send coin to Stacks, they get it graded for you. Auction it off for you. You get $$$
While it might sell for a bit more on Stacks, remember the fees and tax implications

How do I get an offer here? S&B is offering to sell for a 20% commision above the 1.25 to 1.5, meaning a 1.5 to 1.8 sale price. Then my tax on top. 1.4 to 1.5 seems like a good range for people here to get a deal in exchange for me not getting it graded.

So, the folks at Stacks Bowers say that they will grade the coin, list it at 1X a BTC and that I could likely expect to get 1.25 to 1.5 BTC in the event of a sale. They will only pay in USD.
I would really like to get BTC for this, but Stacks Bowers seems like an easy solution. Do y'all have thoughts on this?

Well, I figured I ought to get a couple of pics before my planned trip. So, I ran down to the vault and got them. If y'all don't think there is much of a chance of getting more than 1.25 BTC for them, I don't think I should sell. That isn't much of a premium and maybe the auction houses will change their minds. Stacks Bowers has sold a few, by the looks of it, but all of theirs are in nice little packages. Any ideas of how to get that done?
Thanks for all the input on this post, guys.
