Thanks for sharing.  Are you able to pull the same for 2011 Casascius?  Wondering how many ms68 or higher errors exist..,  I entered a cert number but got an error.

User error....looks like there are 5 MS68 errors

There are two series from 2011...series 1 are the error coins. Series 2 are corrected, no error, and significantly more rare.

Yeah the 2011 mintage numbers are something like 6000 series 1 "errors" and 500 series 2 corrected. But sale prices are around 2-3x higher for the first run error coin. Goes to show us coin collectors are a little nutty...

Just start resubmitting your coins to ANACS...bound to get some 70s that way. I have coins that got MS-67 last year and in 2013...I am sure they would get 69/70 now.

Anyone know of cryptos that received a ANACS PROOF (PF/PR) rating other than those few Titan gold coins from a while back?

I have only got HC / DCAM if any superlative has been added.

Proof is a method of manufacture. A coin is either a Business Strike (intended for circulation and designated with MS) or Proof (made for collectors and designated as PF). Once a Proof coin, always a Proof coin. Even a circulated Proof coin will have a PF grade.


Of course it is ...

So ... I have a titan gold, given a 69, but not designated as a proof ...


That's weird... You would think ANACS would either designate a certain coin as Business Strike or Proof and stick with it. Strange that they aren't consistent with the Titans.

My titan gold is also 69 and not a proof coin.. IIRC it is DCAM though. Just MS-69  Sad

Not a superlative in this case... PF replaces the MS to designate a proof coin.  Ref these here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9389288

2BTC for a tenth is about right at today's prices, I paid more for an MS70 tenth and I will not pay a premium for ANACS again.  I have acquired a few ANACS coins that are definitely not worth the grade.  Maybe we should all post high quality pictures of our MS70s so everyone can see for themselves.

You would sell your MS70 tenth for 2 ? I would buy it
 
For full disclosure, I paid 3BTC when the price per BTC was around $230.  2BTC is currently worth more in fiat but I don't need the fiat right now.  I'll be selling this for less BTC than I paid but I'm hoping for more fiat value when that happens(years from now).  Even with the quality, it's still a casascius and I'm not complaining about having casascius, just the disappointing\mismatching grades from ANACS.

Anacs are certainly grading higher than they did previously. But I have only had 1 resubmitted coin gain a 70.

I will broker the sale for some of the 70s (not mine). A couple of 0.1s are available now, a couple of silver and golds will also probably be going on sale when they get back from ANACS, hopefully next week. Feel free to PM any offers for the 0.1s.

70s -- which (if any) are from hardbtc/you?

If hardbtc has been in contact with Mike recently, I'd potentially be interested in trying to put together an MS70 silver set with PGP docs.

MS70 0.1 Silver - would pay 2 btc
MS70 0.5 Silver s2 - would pay 10 btc
MS70 0.5 Silver s3 - would pay 2.5 btc
MS70 1.0 Silver - would pay 3 btc
MS70 1.0 Silver+Gold - would pay 3 btc

and 0.5 btc per coin for PGP docs. That's potentially an extra 2.5 btc for you & hardbtc to split, just for getting some documentation in order Cool

The 70 coins I have myself are not for sale. Some of HardBTCs will be, and those would be the brokered coins I refered to above. Nothing to report on gaining any additional PGP docs. Obviously it is being tried though.

If the prices you quote were the market rates for MS70 coins, then I would be buying them myself  Cheesy. I dont think you would get many MS69's at those rates, let alone 70s. If you could find a holder of an MS70 willing to part with any of those coins for those prices, I would be amazed  Shocked I have seen 4 MS 70 coins sold, all for significantly higher prices.

The PGP elements on top of them would, I agree, command an additional price (I dont know of any of the 70's graded that do have PGP docs, but I didnt grade 3 of the 70 coins, so its not impossible). The additional price would be far more significant also due to the combined rarity of both MS70, and the 70 coin also having PGP. But is probably hypothetical at this stage, and may always will be.

Nobody yet has a full set of MS70 silvers, with or without PGP. (even if not including the s2 half, for a 4 coin set - and the highest grade I know of for one of those s2's is only MS68, unless someone else has graded a 69 ... I know there isnt a 70).

MS70 0.5 Silver s2 - would pay 10 btc

I would be interested in that too.   Smiley

What sucks about ANACS in this case is that the series are not indicated.

LEL, meant to send all that as a PM. Avert your eyes!  Shocked
