yep the real value is what someone is willing to pay. I really doubt someone will pay 35BTC for the bar. Good for you if they do, however.

True about what willing to pay, I agree, but I didn't obviously suggest someone would pay 35btc?

This is not my bar or my post, and I had just given range based on the ones I sold in the past, since I originally had all of these from Mike, which is equiv to about 2-3 btc, however I don't have anymore and these are rare, so who knows.

It went to me Grin

I sold it to someone this year, which is why I say it wasn't purchased this year.

How much did you sell it for?
It will help us decide on a base price.

Thanks

It's up to the buyer to reveal the price

I can say that none of these 8 bars or the 4- 100 btc 2FA ones I sold or traded were for anywhere near 1 btc.

If this was a resale to current owner, I cannot say though.

I would say of all sold/traded, avg would be at min $1200-$1500+, or 2-3 btc currently.

Really doesn't matter if it's loaded, as only 8 ever made like this, and Mike Caldwell hand assembled these and worked with me on the upside down holo and the red dot idea.

If it was loaded, would be $57k alone in btc.

I have heard of loaded ones going for upwards of $75k.

so 75-57=18K value in bar not the btc for the less rare loaded bars ~31.5BTC

I see what you're saying. I am not sure what btc was at when someone pd $75k, maybe higher.

Even though these bars are technically more rare than loaded 100 bar, any high denomination item/coin seems to fetch a better prem over face value loaded vs. redeemed ones.
Example, I have sold many redeemed 5 btc coins for $40-60. 25 btc redeemed for $400 or so. A loaded 5 btc goes for over 5.1, a 25 over 25.7

This bar wasn't purchased last year.

OP, would you mind telling me where you got the bar over PM?

First, I can confirm 100% this one of the 8 bars I had directly from Caldwell.

In respect for privacy, I can't really say who these ea went to, but I believe this address one was orig sold well over a year ago.

What are those hairline strains on that picture near the Bitcoin symbol? Cotton fibers?
Since this coin is unloaded I am going to bid 1 BTC as well. Because it will not be worth more than that unless you start an auction.

I can buy it now if you have a spare sticker as I am going to put my own private key inside.
Let me know

No no no, many other ways to do that. Dont break this bar for that.

Of course I will not break it.
I will use it as a personal cold storage. Therefore I wont even think of reselling it at least in 50 years after buying. Tongue

And I already have a transparent casing which will easily fit that size in case I need it after opening the wrapper.

This is a very special rare item with only 1 of 8 made. I wouldnt dream of loading it or peeling it.

I agree, store your btc on a cheap coin, this is truly rare item.

I had all 8 of these originally and I worked directly with Caldwell on these back in spring 2014.

There were also 4- 100 btc non loaded 2FA ones.

I have not had any left since around last Xmas.

By breaking the bar he meant taking off the hologram. There are other coins that have that exact purpose where you can generate your own key and stick it on. It's highly recommended to buy something else if you're planning on just taking the hologram off.

Purchased this Bearer bar about a year ago and checking on interest. It's unloaded (not claimed) and in mint condition.

thats one of the 1 of 8 special non-2FA Unfunded bars. It has its own page in the Encyclopedia.

Not your typical bar. Gimme.
