Damn!

Honestly, never expected it to end this way... (always wanted to say that...

). I figured _someone_ would toss another bid in here. Sheesh.

A hope Quickseller doesn't call the Police on me for stealing this from him!

And yeah, I guess I by default am cornering the market so far. But, not to worry, I have a feeling that plenty more of these in a 68 grade will exist before long, and karma will come back at me.

Naw, that is the risk that sellers take when auctioning coins like this Tongue

Yes, it now looks like this is the 2nd MS68 tenth that TheAnalogKid has gotten at a steal of a deal.

you are correct, no other bids so far. I think people might be wanting to wait until the dusk settles regarding the high grades all these coins are getting from ANACS, although I think this coin is definitely a very nice coin.

0.1's seem hard to sell since they are all in the market

What does this mean?

All the Casascius coins are "in the market", most if not all have been sold and distributed. I'm sure Mike kept a stash for himself but still. What do you mean that these are hard to sell since they are all in the market?

Sorry I might not have made sense.

What I meant was in the last two months more 0.1's sold or have been advertised for sale, than the months before. There have been like 2 MS-68's for sale, 3 MS-67's and some ungraded coins as well

I don't think that changes the fact that they are still pretty rare. I think a few of the coins were quickly resold after being purchased so your number is a little bit inflated.

The casascius tenths are the rarest cas coins out there. There are only ~700 casascius tenths out there, and they tend to get MS65 or MS66 when sent to ANACS.

There are also really not that many cas tenths on the market, I don't know numbers off the top of my head, however they come up for sale much less often then other casascius coins.

Wow that coin really is a beauty. I'll defiantly be watching this one and might place a bid if the price doesn't get too out of hand.

Since no one had bid as of yet, changing this terms should not affect anyone surprisingly.

Forum problems: In the event that the forum goes down for more then 5 minutes during the last hour of the auction (including extensions because of sniping), then the end time will be extended for an additional 60 minutes from the time the forum comes back up. If it were to go down a subsequent time during this 60 minute extension (or during an extension due to sniping) then it would again be extended by an additional 60 minutes. This process would repeat itself until both, no one has bid for 15 minutes and the forum has been up for 60 minutes.

QS, beauty of the a coin. The hologram is perfect on it, the first bits are perfectly straight, really something! I know that ANACS and team doesn't consider the hologram in grading, but that should just imply to all of us that this coins is worth every satoshi if not much more of what an MS68 can command. The hologram appears flawless and coins with completely straight first bits are rare, very rare.

In the first thread you mentioned or implied a buy-it-now price of BTC3.5 ("BTC3.5 OBO"), is that still your target for a buy-it-now price?

Thanks and good luck to you!

I will send you a PM about a buy it now price.
