Apologies for the thread necromancy...

Curious if any more 2011 "double" error coins have popped up?

I still have mine. As soon I can sell them securely, I will. My ideal transaction would be the buyer meeting me with certified check in the bank and where the safe deposit box is where they are stored and we swapping coins for fiat via escrow agent. Something like that. Coins and bank are in Europe.

I really do not view these as a double error personally. An error to me is something obvious like a misspelled hologram, flaw in the coin, etc... To me he just printed them off center a tad not really seeing how that adds value?

I agree..In the world of Philately that is stamp collecting..an inverted image, inverted color, misspelled words are true errors. Case in point is the inverted Jenny, or inverted biplane of which only 100 exist that command over $800,000 in auctions.

If there was a color shift or misperf we call them freaks or oddities. So for me the misspelling of Casascius with the missing S would be a true error..just because the ink is slightly higher or lower or sideways is not truly an error.

But that being said, if physical Crypto coin collectors place such a high price on this type of shift in printing, then they create the market value whether its a true error or not.

I gave out 1 BTC Casascius coins to some friends back in 2011. Now, one of them wants to sell, and he asked me what the best to sell it way. Is eBay the best option? Is there a way to safely take PayPal, or would you need the buyer to pay in BTC? These are the series with the typo (single error, I guess) btw.

Dont use paypal. If i were you i would start a new thread. I would get pictures of the coin/s, offer escrow and you should be able to sell them here fairly easily

Sounds good. Thank you!

2013 called....they want their prices back Cheesy

While we're necro-ing threads, I thought I should point out that 2013 prices actually do appear to have come back. $7,100 for a series 1 1btc on ebay a few days ago, and 2.1btc for one on this forum also in the last few days.

I sold an MS-62 series 1 myself for 1.6BTC just a month or so ago, and thought I was getting a great price. Now I'm not so sure!

Image of the other side?

Are you selling?

Here's the front of it:
https://i.imgur.com/v0GuETl.jpg

As far as selling goes, I am considering it, but:

1) Am still in the process of researching what I have and how I would go about selling it and transferring it safely and securely (i.e., protecting myself from getting ripped off, either by selling for too little or by have the buyer claim they never received it or claiming something else that negatively impacted me).

2) Believe that the premium on 2011 Casascius coins will rise (in BTC), so am not in a hurry.

I realize point #2 is subject to debate. What I'm most interested in is learning about at the moment is #1.

When I feel confident of that, I expect I will sell one or two 2011 Casascius coins (one of each Series 1 and Series 2).

Any comments and/or links regarding point #1 appreciated. Thank you

Please forgive me if this is a noob question, which I think it is, but can anyone tell if the printing of the first bits on this coin I have is some sort of error?

[not sure why this isn't showing up as an embedded image?]

The reason I ask is that "all" the other coins from 2011 I have seen have had the first bits printed like they are here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--1664391 . Any helpful comments appreciated. Thank you!

And what would that end of the rainbow price be at current price if you were to sell now?

Seriously...It's a good problem to have, considering Bitcoin will be stamped in world history as the first true digital money. Every collector I've spoken to has advised me to hold onto this one Shocked

Sure, A bird in the hand is better than 2 in the bush.
I really don't have a fixed price for selling it now, I was offered 17 BTC a while back.

Their offer is a little higher than mine would be. Thank you for priceing it.

Very nice! Grin

Are you looking to sell it? If so for how much?

Dont think I'll be selling now, prices for physicals are a bit subdued at the moment, waiting for the next wave of interest then I'll see.
But if someone offers me a price I cant refuse ... Wink

Just spotted this post update on second double error to surface.
I've updated my first reply to this thread with a pick of the coin I have.
Useful for future reference etc. Wink

I pulled that number out of a hat, completely arbitrary. Correct that I am not actively looking to sell it... but for a ridiculous offer? Who knows.

0.123456888, do you accept my ridiculous offer Huh

I actually found this comment/offer very amusing, Fortify's has a very dry humor Cheesy
