Total number of made 10's can be found but AFAIK the proportions of gilt/non-gilt not.

Do you have exact info how many of these was made? I think 200 of gilt, 200 of non-gilt.

https://casascius.uberbills.com

I'd guess probably closer to 300 gilt, 200 non-gilt.  The non-gilt versions appear to be more rare judging by the auctions I've observed here over the years, but I only have my personal beliefs to back that up.  Did Casascius ever release actual numbers?  I'd be curious.

So a cas will hold btc/bch/btg and segwit 2x next month already. Not just btc.

Yeah, but so will paper wallets. Should we pay a $35,000 premium for those?

Should you? Up to you. Might you? If you want it badly enough...

another thing to look at as far as should I sell part of my collection/investment is, what % of my net worth is in crypto. Is it 40% or more...

If you have increased your net worth 10 x or so on a particular investment in a relative short time you would want to start to diversify your assets. Protect your capital, Land (Tree Farm) / rental property, Stock, a business, Silver/Gold and other collectibles.

It all depends on what the btc price does. If it goes down, the coin might gain value in btc. Also don't forget that these coins will hold all the new crypto coins from the forks. So a cas will hold btc/bch/btg and segwit 2x next month already. Not just btc. Add that to the collectable aspect, and these these coins might outperform btc. Again, it all depends on how fast btc rises/drops.

If you don’t believe, why are you here?
Last price publicized was Mindtrips 16.25BTC. BTC was in the low $4ks if I recall correctly.

you were offered ~$30k for a piece of silver in this thread, and you said sorry, too low. Couple that with most believe BTC is going to $7k, 10k, etc, it’s nothing short of lunacy.

at peak hype yes, errors also went >4 at one stage.

If I remember rightly people were asking for over 6 fairly regularly. I suppose it didn't matter all that much when BTC was $200 ish. It certainly does now.

interesting that premiums for casascius coins have remained mostly steady even with the rise in bitcoin value. will the trend continue post $1k usd remains to be seen. some would say this is already due to numismatic value but without pcgs or ngc gradings it maybe some time before crypto coins go mainstream if ever.

Just saying, 1BTC silvers were selling for >3 for a while...

But hey, what do I know?

How do you define reasonable? What might the peril be? Stuck with a terribly shiny token for a few more years?  Tongue

"Reasonable" is subjective; the peril is unrealized gains. Tinfoil is shiny -- but if someone offers me $50 for a piece of it, I'm not gonna hold out for $100.

We all have different motivations, all I'm saying is that if you are hoping to maximize your dollar return, sitting on this coin isn't the way to do it. Best of luck with the sale Smiley

Can anyone point to any successful sales of high denomination coins like these in recent times? All I can see are examples that appear to linger for years on end.

I suspect that many holders of 10s are unwilling to accept a BTC price lower than what they paid for the coin. This means many are unwilling to let them go for less than 16-18.

I also suspect that the phenomenon of Casascius coins holding their premiums in terms of BTC is over, and that sellers turn down any reasonable offers at their own peril. I expect BTC premiums to continue to drop.

But hey, what do I know?

I agree with this...for a period of time...after which - when and if classic numismatic collectors get interested...we may see unfathomable premiums. Or at least sustained.

Lol @ "sellers turn down any reasonable offers at their own peril".

It's just a thin market with unmotivated sellers. They have a rare and desirable thing, so they can ask whatever they want, for as long as they want. Maybe a motivated buyer will come along and meet their ask, maybe not. Maybe it sits in storage for a few more years.


I thought that was your coin Smiley   These things will just be swapping with millionaires now and in the future. Im a little salty the tax man got most my collection but I have a couple of super tenths and some other cool coins. It wont be long (couple years) before these 10 btc and higher loaded coins will have to sell at Sotheby's  like rare cars sell.  Congrats on your investment !

I think the premiums will continue to  drop as well, but for many people that do not have a casascius coin. May be willing to pay a premium just to own a part of BTC history.

I think you know more than enough. The big buck coin owners are either going to have to get realistic or enjoy their coins for all eternity.

It's interesting how invisible they've become. I'm wondering whether it's a trough or whether they'll remain rather obscure.

I believe there was one other user on this forum that tried selling a 10BTC Cas with a golden heart on it for around 18 BTC. Not sure if he ever got it sold but I think he bumped it for over a year without success..

I have a cas 10btc gilt in minty fresh ungraded condition.

Looking for 18btc OBO. Escrow or in-person can be arranged. Will consider cash USD, gold bullion, other crypto coins, or a fast Audi in trade.

It's the one that's been on ebay for the past few moons: https://www.ebay.com/itm/202079061656

And yes, my ask there is ridiculous intentionally (to encourage direct offers). Will entertain any reasonable offers here, PM or post.

I'll even throw in a SEALED pre-fork satori roll for free! OH DAYUM

I'm definitely interested in this coin as well as the 25 BTC coin. 18 BTC seems high, but I'd probably be willing to spend 15 BTC if it's a graded 68-70. Trying to put together a casascius collection, but only interested in mints.

My coin is minty fresh and in immaculate condition, but ungraded. I am looking for more than 15btc tho. Thanks!

Have you ever sold something so expensive on eBay?  I'm curious how the process went/goes for you.

Yep. Generally smooth.

Interesting thing is once you get above ~25-30K usd, credit cards aren't an option for most people due to credit limits. This means bank/wire transfers. I provide a receive account, they wire me money, my bank confirms, I send the product and deal is done. No chargeback threat. Coin dealers sell 5-6+ figure exceptionally rare coins on ebay all the time, similar arrangement.

Occasionally people offer to pay in bitcoin, but wire transfer has been much more common for high value.
