I am confused as to series 1/2/3 etc when referring to the 1 BTC coins. I really like the design in the original post, is that how the 1 BTC's look today?

Series 1 coins: the public address is printed on the hologram.
Series 2 coins: the public address behind a window in the hologram.
I don't know what series 3 is. I'm not sure it even exists.

There was a guy trying to sell gold plated silver coins in another thread and not having much luck. I'm no collector but I don't really see the point myself. I do really like the look of the gold BTC on the silver coin though and hope to own one at some point.

Well, if you're not selling the broken coins, but you happen to make just one more "mistake", can I have it? hehe.

Just to answer the most current frequently asked questions:

Silver coins: I am closest in progress to having a 5 BTC silver coin. I am thinking it will be a fully gold plated silver coin, so I can offer a 1 BTC silver coin in the same size. This is just because BTC value has risen so quickly in the past few months, it now makes sense. Both of these I intend to be 30mm 1/2 ounce coins. It's possible I may only offer them in bulk quantities of 20 or more on a wholesale basis, as shipping individual orders represents an opportunity cost for me. I'm guessing I'll have another update in a couple of weeks.

Broken coins, as well as series-1 1BTC coins, are no longer available. Broken coins were a way for me to move all of the "mistake" coins made while discovering the best way to make the coins, but now with experience, far fewer mistakes are made, and there's just not enough mistake coins to satisfy the need.

please, do not fully plate silver coins.
could just as well paint wood.

I'd definitely buy some anyways :-D

I measured the density of one of these today (a pure silver one without the gold plating). Came out to be 10.4 g/cm³ (measurement error +/- 0.5%). It's a bit less than a pure silver coin (10.49 g/cm³) because of the hologram and paper/empty space behind it.

Agree, the gold B on a silver 1 oz was the best design by far to date, the 1 BTC coins are also great imo.

Silver coins which are fully gold-plated..? That seems strange. Is that a normal thing in collector coins?

A 1 BTC silver coin makes sense, and you might even consider a 10 BTC half troy ounce gold coin.

Looking forward to the new series in any case!

And for people who can't wait: I still have a few of the old silver coins for sale!

Hi Casascius

I PM'd you and i appreciate you must be busy so whenever you get a chance to get back to me is great.

To be honest a lot of the queries i had regarding the coins have been answered in this thread. They seem like a great way to store btc and collectible to boot.

Look forward to doing business with you. Wink

Can I buy "broken" coins? Not the empty ones, the broken ones that won't ever be used or will be thrown away.

Any chance of new designs? If not, any competitors?

Since Bitcoin is international I would hope for versions that come from other countries outside USA.

I would pay more to get asian coins, especially Japanese.

However, this is very unlikely but I will pay extremely high price for North Korean coins if proof can be given that they originate from North Korea (big DPRK collector).

Just curious, do you know when the 10 BTC's will be back in stock

Curious about this also.

And if anyone has a 2012 10BTC silver round that they would like to trade then please PM me Wink

Any trade for one of casasicus's coins would have to be done through escrow though so please consider this before you do message me.

cheers.

looking forward to the next run of cas made products

Could someone explain to me the different series'? I have seen references to series 1, 2, and 3.

Does that just refer to the coin's date, 2011, 2012 or 2103?
