Interesting. After hearing your thoughts probably better not to get a graded coin. Will look into that silver wallet coin, looks pretty cool! Thanks guys.

Keep an eye out for a casascius bearer bar. Some of those were created with zero balance ready to be funded.

I have one of them (and another coming this week) Smiley  stunning bars though still no reason to use them over a paper wallet.

I told the exact thing to someone trying to sell a bearer bar with 2.001BTC on it. The bar itself can fetch around 1BTC but an opened bar will only fetch ~0.4BTC.

By putting 2BTC on the bar, its likely that noone would pay more than ~2.6BTC for it since it means either sealing away 2BTC for as long as the bar is protected as a collectible, or opening the bar to retrieve the BTC but being stuck with an opened bar.

Make offers and post pictures please. Not looking for very expensive coin, at most a coin with 1 BTC loaded in it...mainly looking for a way that I can send BTC to the coin for long term investment and not be able to open the coin's wallet in a panic sell situation due to the grading...  Wink

Also, as I am waiting on some important PMs from BTC bulk sellers, please do not PM me regarding this coin ad. Just post a comment for time being please.

Oh and if you're interested in selling $500+ of BTC at bitstamp prices FOR CASH at anytime, please let me know. Buying thousands weekly!

thats a silly idea.

lets say you took a nice brass 1BTC token - its worth about 1.5BTC in good condition
you now load 5BTC onto it - it holds 6BTC total

You now have two options wen you need the funds:
1) sell the coin to someone who actually cares that there is more than 1BTC on it. They will be buying it for the intact hologram and visual appeal.  They will offer you a smaller premium because you modified the coin's balance - perhaps 6.25BTC
2) you remove the hologram to access the funds leaving you with a useless brass token - you will only get 0.1-0.2BTC selling it.

either way, adding value to the coin actually makes it less valuable.  create a paper wallet instead.

If you already have a Casascius coin, you can just send one off to ANACS to get it graded.

Nightowlace just sent of a bunch to get graded - check with him - he might be able to sell you one of the lower graded ones for your purpose.
