Thanks again owlcatz.

Agreed it's not really that hard. I'm just a little gun shy on making a mistake on a $1700 (currently) coin...

Thanks!

If you need I can fill out an example form for you? I have filled out a form or 2 in the past Tongue

Thanks, though I should be good.

Thanks for all the help!

Still stuck on a couple things:

Coin Date - 2011?
Mint Mark - Casascius?
Owners Value - 1 BTC?
Variety - Casascius 1 BTC?

Thanks again

1. Yes
2. I always leave mint mark blank
3. Owners value can only be up to 100 USD for Physical Cryptocurrency (See bottom left of form where the price is $19 per coin etc).
4. Variety - This is where you put what you want to show on the slab. In your case, I would put CASASCIUS 1 BTC BRASS "CASACIUS IN HOLOGRAM" (XXXXXX) (Where xxxx == firstbits on hologram).

Google for a picture of 2011 error ANACS coin and you'll see what I mean. Sometimes they won't put the first bits down if you don't include them etc etc.

HTH, pm me if you want help on the rest of the form, it's not that hard, it just seems that way the first time you do it. Tongue

Cheers.

There are quite a few threads similar to this.
As far as I can recall either monkeynuts or Blazed posted a few tips regarding the grading process.
You can see some information here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.12076801

Edit: Seems like the link in the post isn't working. Your best bet would be to message one of the users who frequently get coins graded with ANACs.

I'm new to the forum Welcome so apologies if I've overlooked previous answers to this

I have a 2011 series 1 "misprint" Casascius coin that I would like to get graded via ANACS.

Is there anywhere a writeup has been done to filling out the form?

Do you typically get the "professional conservation"? No I'm concerned about the "caustic chemicals" and the hologram...

What about the other options like Verification and Research? No, but I do get the photo option Seems to me like they shouldn't be necessary and take additional time.

How do you insure the coins? For the trip to ANACS you can send USPS Registered and Insured if you are US based. For the return trip they will only be insured for $100 per coin as that is the ANACS limit for Crypto coins. For the bitcoin value? Will the USPS recognize this as a legitimate claim should anything happen?

Thank again,

Veen
