I wouldn't have sold the coin if I didn't need to spend the bitcoin, thus I no longer have the bitcoin.

AH. Now I see.

Try not to think in terms of unrealized gains, just imagine if you hadn't had those bitcoins back when you needed them.

Very true indeed!

I sold my funded cas coin a year ago when bitcoin was $1000 for 2.5 bitcoin.

Never sell, I want to off myself for having sold mine. Next time bitcoin takes a big dip I'm buying one again and I swear the thing is going in a safe deposit box on the other side of the planet.

So you sold a Casascius for 2.5 btc

Now you have 2.5 btc

You can buy a new Casascius for 1.x btc

...and you want to *off yourself*? Why?

Don't know but each peel is another reason to hold, would be interested in seeing how many of the 25s survived since those don't have a real high percentage resale.

25s are worth more now than ever!

I still think because the cas market is still niche with the premiums so low it's definately HOLD. When bitcoin hits mainstream and the collectables market catches up these will only go up in value but you guys can keep peeling that's fine with me Cheesy

Has anyone out there collated figures on how many have died since prices and forks started going through the roof? It must be quite a significant number of fresh deaths by this point in time.

I have no plans to do anything other than sit on mine. If I did need to realise their value I don't think I'd have the stomach for the open market though. They're now worth too much. I'd offer them to the usual suspects on here, but even then I'm not sure it's possible to insure something for these amounts in the post, but that's as far I'd go.

Premiums are down. Forks are up. It is almost as profitable to peel and redeem all the forked coins, for now anyway. Especially when you consider counterparty risk.

In memory of Zepher

Apart from their beautiful artistic, historic, and collectible value, Casascius coins and all collectibles in this space act as a hedge against Bitcoin itself. I love Bitcoin, but if Bitcoin were to fail one day; these collectibles would all retain some (I believe a lot) value.

Hold the Casascius, it is beautiful art and it is history. :-)

I think with premiums going down, it's better to just redeem it if you have Cas. brass coins.

I respectfully disagree. The premium is just about right on those. Reading through active threads, one user says he will never pay more than $750 premium per coin and another user is trying to sell a Silver for over what the market will bear and is asking why the cost in BTC has depreciated from just a few months ago. (captnlolers) I think the answer lies somewhere in between. There are definitely tangible benefits to owning a physical coin but what will the market pay for it and if you decide to sell; what will your buyer be willing to pay? Personally don't think you can go wrong with a brass.

Not sure what you are implying here. An UNGRADED GILT sold for 1.6 less than 48hrs ago. I have yet to receive even a matching offer on the same coin graded at an MS 68.

With BTC going up, i'm getting more emails from Anduck's tracker that BTCC coins are getting redeemed.
Would anyone know if there is such a tracker (email notification) for Cas. coins?

Trbttr...where can I get this BTCC tracker? Thanks

https://anduck.net/bitcoin/btcc_coins.html

there you can subscribe to e-mail updates about redeems

I got now 3 emails about a BTCC coin that has been redeemed in 5 days.

Thankyou bro

This is the closest thing I've seen: https://casascius.uberbills.com/?page=charts&year=all

I'm not sure how up-to-date it's kept.
