What makes this coin so special to me is it actually became one of the few first day funded physical bitcoins in existence.
Making it the FIRST PHYSICALLY LOADED BITCOIN COINS ever. I have been hunting one of these for years and to see it come to the light of day
is very rare. I was fortunate to buy some Cas coins on ebay and by doing my research found I owned a 2nd day loading Casascius coin.
The seller told me these coins were being handed out for free at a Bitcoin gathering or festival. All this to educate people on what bitcoin is.
He was not even aware of the importance of the funding date. That being said I wonder how many still exist in collections, lost or thrown away over time.
That same story happens in other collectables when items that were not deemed collectable were tossed away. Making them so much rarer later on.
To see one in auction and being sodl by Monkey for Zephers sake, is amazing. My hats off to you my friend.

I really loved this summarization and I also really have come to love this community. I'm new but man you guys really step up for each other. I didn't know Zeph but to see you all band together and continue to try and help his family out is just awesome beyond words. So I'm honored to be bidding for such a wonderful cause and a phenomenal coin no doubt. And who knows I might even get lucky and win. Either way it's all been such an enjoyable experience getting to know you all from this vantage point.

New high bid. Thankyou
Krog you are right. Not sure when we will see another one available. Equivalent to a penny black first day cover imo.
Still plenty of time till Sunday. Hope Z is looking down and approves.

Exactly...penny black first stamp ever! Except this is rarer as there are so much fewer coins.

Otoh the whale grabs Krogos boat from underneath knocking the harpoon out of his Krogoth's hand,
rips the high bid from the other hand and snaps the boat into smithereens!
As Otoh the whale leaves with the prized high bid, as a weary tired Captain Krogo wading in water makes a fist and shouts angrily
"" We shall meet again someday you pesky whale and things will be different!"
Defeated Captain Krogo looks on as the whale swims away over the horizon out of reach...for now!

Welp...I'm assuming I stand no chance now. It's been fun gents but I'll likely be bowing out and buying a new pair of binoculars to enjoy the whales splashing the seas. All the best and happy to see this going for such a great cause!

How many first day funded coins were made? I've never seen one come up for auction
I generated this (warning! big file) some time ago. It shows that 70 coins were funded in the first funding transaction. Second transaction funded 60 coins, 4 blocks later.
Third funding transaction (83 blocks later) funded 39 coins. And so on..
So you can even say that a certain coin is a
First funding transaction..first day or
Second funding transaction..first day...etc
Kinda of born on the same day..but who was first?
Interesting Anduck!
Agreed, this is really cool Anduck!
