The coin has arrived safe and sound to the buyer and I have released the funds from escrow to the seller. As both parties are satisfied I am locking this thread. Pleasure doing business  Smiley

LoL too bad, these odd American hours are idiot. Why not speaking in GMT time like 95% of the planet. Well nevermind, enjoy.

International auctions are definitely difficult. I tried to make it as clear as possible with:

Quote
This auction will end: July 10th at 1:00 PM PST

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/usa/los-angeles

I'll try to use GMT for my next auction so there is less confusion.

Payment has been received to the escrow address I provided and the coin will be shipped out first thing tomorrow morning.

One comment on the time thing: people here are often not using the correct terminology for STANDARD time and DAYLIGHT time: PST vs PDT. Right now is daylight time, not standard time. If you explicitly look up standard time in the US, it would be a relative hour in the past. Then there's the issue of some states not using daylight time (Arizona, Hawaii), and countries that have daylight savings time but do not follow the same schedule.

This should not have been an issue on this specific auction since PDT is later than PST and you linked a clock, but I have commented on this topic on several auctions in the past.

Pro tip: always link a clock or countdown timer. Or use absolute unix time or GMT/UTC time.

All that said, looking forward to the coin!  Tongue

This is the high bid. The auction ended at 8:00PM forum time and the no sniping rule doesn't apply for StarenseN's post because Dazed's was well before the end of the auction.

Congrats dazed, I'll shoot you a PM and we can wrap this up  Smiley

Please be aware of scammers!

How many of these were made?

If it is silver, what is the gold B made of?

It looks like 491 were made in total over 2 series, with 422 still active and untouched.
It's a solid silver coin with gold plating. Loaded with 10BTC obviously Grin

Be careful with the 'untouched' part.  Smiley

I usually use this site which says there are 226 silver with gold trim: http://www.spotcoins.com/bitcoin/casascius

Correct, it is gold electroplating on a silver coin.

I think the pictures speak for themselves. This is a very nice coin in great condition. Let's see if he's able to successfully scare away other bidders!

Slightly over 48 hours remaining  Smiley

You mean it didn't work, or you don't see it?
Happy to recant my statement if OP has a better picture of the two areas I am talking about. 
In the mean time, you're welcome to look at the pictures again.  More specifically the bottom left of the coin.
