If it's a series 1 & the pics show it to be in great condition, I'll offer 26.5 BTC for it

So -- based on the pictures -- does Your offer stay (26.5 BTC)?

Well I was going to lower it a bit because of the smudged first bits, but I'll keep it at 26.5 BTC if that includes postage or delivery and any escrow costs, normally sellers are happy to send first and trust my rep (see sig), but totally up to you.

PM with my contact details sent.

Possible to meet in person for example in Berlin.

IF BTC moons, these will be really hard to sell for anything but Fiat face.

That is true if you're selling to someone whose thinking is anchored in fiat, which is those with a low accumulation of bitcoin.

A lot of people in the community have significant stashes of bitcoin. Someone with more than BTC30 (and many have 100s or 1000s of btc) could easily be considered a real collector and accept the premium due to each if these coins.

I have one of these too that I'd be willing to sell. But it's in much worse shape than this one. I tried selling it on OB, but no takers. The one in this thread looks like a gem. Anyhow, people with more than 25 bitcoins are hard to come by. I may end up defunding mine.

Send me a picture of it...

Has the shortcode printed on the hologram side been smudged ?

No.
I think a drop of water/liquid has gotten there and that's the reason one letter is a bit worn-out.
Little trace of the same ink is visible on the plastic package the coin is in.

I not sure why the OP hasn't posted any pics yet?

The thread was created just about 2 days ago, right?

OP, if you legitimately own this coin, it would be in your best interest to post a pic as soon as possible before any more doubt is cast upon your shadow.

As far as escrowing for a coin of this value, I would think it would be for both the buyer and seller's best interest to use a long standing trusted escrow.

thanks!

I get your enthusiam to escrow but seriously.  $30k+ usd to a username.  Its not gonna happen, start trying lower.  Im not being mean, really im not, but blazed or otah or whoever else offers on this coin is not going to send you that amount of btc....start lower otherwise people are going to think you have another motive.

Yeah, I know, I know. I've been inquiring on other forum boards to handle significantly smaller transactions...no takers yet.

You haven't even completed a successful trade/sale and have ZERO trust rating.....  I would sooner give my money to Quickseller  the devil.... Tongue

Technically, you don't know that to be true. You only know that I any trades I've handled haven't been document through the Forum's trust ratings. More to the point though...it was mostly a joke, so...

Why would he redeem it when he can easily sell it to me? Anyways, I need pictures to check out the condition of the coin etc...

Agreed, at least sell it to Blazed!

Yes, besides throwing away money he would also be destroying a piece of Bitcoin's history.  Sell it, don't peel it.

Destroying a piece of history, definitely. Making the remaining coins many of us own slightly more rare, definitely. And the latter impacts me slightly more than the former.

It's amazing how a 1BTC coin commands, literally commands, a 2x and higher asking pricing.

To the OP (troll?) I'm happy to offer free escrow! Give me a chance to earn some trust! (Blazed and OG, keep your disdain to yourself! Hahaha)

I'm going to assume he doesn't have one until we actually see a photo.

If you don’t believe, why are you here?

That's counterintuitive brother. You want to sell stored BTC for BTC that could get hung up in the network? squirrel that bitch away for a few years and be merry.
