2013 - Blank 5BTC Token with plain gold foil sticker - Roll of 45 (no BTC value):
Price: BTC0.90
Description: Allows you to create your own Physical Bitcoins. Includes private keys, or print your own private key inserts with downloadable Bitcoin Address Utility. Does not include a hologram, but you can use the included gold foil sticker or buy your own generic 1" diameter hologram on eBay.


Was this the series of 5BTC unloaded coins with a clear sticker over a green public key?

Yes they are. The roll came with private keys + stickers:


Were the private key stickers pre-attached? I've never attempted to load mine because i wasn't sure whether the keys were sealed like a casascius or open to middleman attack.

As shown in the image I posted, the private keys came on a sheet of paper (they're covered up with white). So yes, technically they're vulnerable to a middleman attack.

Interesting, the loaded 25, 5, and 100 actually held their btc premium over all these years.  It could certainly be argued that those where the best for investment purposes and most likely still are going forward.

Thanks for this M-BTC, it sheds some light as to why people come back to this board years later with what seems like very high BTC sale prices for their coins.

While there is already plenty of information available about the numerous variations in Casascius coins, I've never seen a thread about the original prices they were sold for. Therefor I've compiled a list of all products that have been sold on the Casascius website. These are the original names, descriptions and prices they were initially listed for, all verified by using the Wayback Machine. The prices on the website changed overtime (due to the rising BTC price), which becomes really obvious when looking at the 2013 1BTC Silver Physical Bitcoin (with/without gold plating) prices.

2011 - Paper Bitcoin Wallet:
Price: $5 per sheet (9 addresses), $10 for 4 sheets (36 addresses)
Description: A sheet of bitcoin addresses and their corresponding redeemable private keys, for offline bitcoin storage. The sheets have no BTC value, you load it yourself,
and are used for keeping bitcoins safe from hackers. The keys are certified in writing to be unique, random, securely produced offline, with no copies kept.
