Ill jump in on the .5 btc train reserve list and if that doesn’t work Out I’m interested in a 1 btc. But I have a lot of questions about shipping and that sort of thing...

Also, I looked at the zip and I can’t really figure out the adobe thing. How can you prove it was from Mike based off a pdf?

Looks like you may be out of luck here bud, as it appears all coins are taken.

I have just downloaded the ZIP and will look through it all now. The PDF's would have been signed with Mike's Adobe Key, which prove he made the COA's. I am more knowledgeable about PGP than Adobe, so I will let someone else answer that question for you.

Edit: Shipping: For all US buyers, I will ship them all to either minerjones or Lesbian Cow (depends who is available) and they will have to distribute within the US. I will do all EU shipments.

Ahh, darn

Well I guess just keep me on the .5 and 1 btc “reserve list” and just let me know if someone backs out. Would love to have one of these as my first cas coin

Just wanted to clarify a few things.

The coins have all been taken out of the paper tube the came in have been put into coin capsules to protect them from the air. This was done immediately upon receipt. They were not touched by hand during this process, but obviously Mike Caldwell at Cascascius may have handled them when he made the coins up, though these are from the last batch ever made and he started wearing gloves to protect the coins for the later batches. Please see the photos for details of each coins condition. They are basically as mint as they can be.

The certificates of authenticity are not PGP (though Mike did offer these to some buyers in the early days). They are the later style of certificate, an PDF of a scan of the coins, whcih Mike made and then signed with his Adobe key which is registered to him. Please take a look at the certificates included in the pack I made available to download.

I've also updated the title of the thread.

Awesome. Thank you for the clarification there, No_2, and for the thread title change

appreciate it. No matter what, if push comes to shove, I'll cover the others coins myself purely due to the condition yours are in/the way you have kept them/last batch/COA's etc.

I know exactly what you mean about the PDF style COA's, and imo are just as good as a PGP Chain of Custody. The whole point is you don't get all of this when you buy a Casascius coin anywhere else. These are special for those reasons.

I am sure this will fill soon, and then I will be in touch - and we can arrange a face to face. I'm based in Nottingham and can drive to wherever you are (don't care that I have doxed myself - QS has done it before anyway and I really don't give a shit Cheesy

). We'll get this deal sorted bud.

Interested in a 0.5 Cas or are they all gone already? Cry

If so and someone wants to unload one on me please let me know and thanks Cheesy

Me too!
Seems like they were all snatched up early but would be happy to offload one from someone if there is availability after krogothmanhattan gets his.

There is just 10 x Casascius 1 BTC coins left, and I can start negotiations for the entire lot from No_2.

Everyone involved will be kept informed every step of the way.

C'mon people, 10 coins left out of 45 - we can do this! You won't get coins of this quality anywhere else.

Edit: Note that these are NOT your "regular" Casascius Brass 0.5 & 1 BTC Coin. These are mint, still in their tube (pretty much guaranteeing you MS67+ for the majority of the coins, should you choose to send them to ANACS for grading - which I 100% recommend in these specific circumstances), and they ALL come with PGP Certificates from Mike Caldwell/Casascius himself. You do not see these for sale with a Chain of Custody. Seriously, if you want something truly special, with paperwork from Casascius himself, this is very likely your ONLY opportunity to get one for a fair price. Think about it.

I am not trying to be a dick here Maicol, but is there any chance you can prove you can actually pay for everything? I am only doing this because we are getting very close to being able to buy the coins ourselves.

At 45 BTC what premium would the 0.5's be commanding?

I've worked out face value to be around the 40 BTC mark incl shitcoins.

To be truthful, I cannot answer your question until a price has been agreed, but approx 0.625 BTC each* - *take that with a grain of salt for now.

Any idea what you would like for the entire lot?

I'm based in the UK.

Cheers

Based on previous sales, the BTC price dip, their unusual mint condition, and digital certificates; I'm looking for around 47-52 BTC for the lot.

I am thinking around 45 BTC for the lot. But I am sure we can come to an agreement between us if I take the lot on behalf of myself and others

in for a cas .5 at least.

Noted.

I will use this specific post to update any interest. Please make a post if you are interested in being part of the GB. Let's see if we can buy the lot between us.

Ticked - 1 x 0.5 BTC*
Anonymous (Person is legit but would prefer to remain anonymous) - 10 x 1 BTC*
Zepher - 3 x 1 BTC, 5 x 0.5 BTC.*
Lesbian Cow - 5 x 1 BTC, 5 x 0.5 BTC.*
minerjones - 5 x 0.5 BTC*

* - These are all on the basis that we come to an agreement on price everyone is happy with.

I will keep updating as interest rolls in. @ No_2 - please edit your title so people know what I am attempting here. Thanks
