What happened to the 20btc price Cry

Sell ten of them and have a new 10 coin custom case made!

I sold 1 for 14 BTC: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/wts-unfunded-casascius-1000btc-1oz-gold-coin-to-celebrate-gold-parity-1812466
I'm willing to sell a few more now that the set is broken up. Sad

Send me PM if anyone is interested.

Nice one! If I could afford I'd get one myself.

Really cool .
Are they funded or not?
How did you get this set of 20?
Would be happy to hear some answers if possible

Not funded obviously.

I wish they were. I bought them directly from Mike Caldwell (aka casascius). This was many years back. And I made a custom case for the coins.

You might as well burn that case, we are coming for those coins! Tongue

It's going to take a lot for me to break up this set. Asking price is 50BTC per coin. Cheesy

Who owns that coin today?

You may have missed it, but there was a post on reddit from an owner of this coin. It was taken down, but you might still be able to find it.

well its a fascinating story to me, I bought the book from Elias Ahenon ( great guy) back in the summer and after reading it I am totally hooked. oh he said he has some hard copies with slightly damaged corner in the San Fran warehouse for very low price. I was curious if anyone remembers what the last sale price was of one of the original 5 1,000 BTC . Also what should one fetch today, like my dad always said its worth what someone will pay for it lol

The link above showed a set of 20 series two 1,000 BTC which i think some were confusing for the original

Last one's were rumored to have sold for around a million. in today's market I would not be surprised if it gets a couple hundred thousand for a premium on top of the price of BTC and gold.

Thanks for info, Have to agree

so these were made in China? Under permission from Caldwell or no?

Only 5 1000 BTC coins were minted so either these were done himself or Mike did them as some sort of memento.

It looks like someone quoted above stated there are 50 Series 2 coins made, not sure if that is accurate.

yes thats what I was referring to, series two 1,000 btc in the link

I really don't want to sell any. Don't want to break up my set!

But of course, there's a price to everything. If someone wants one, make me an offer. Though my reserve price is probably unreasonable. I've turned down an offer of gold spot + $5000 already.

Just tell us your reserve price

How many of these were made?

Originally 50 btc, but I considering 20 btc now. It's just tough to break up this set.

Mike minted 50 gold coins. There are 7 or so funded non-BIP38 ones. The rest are either BIP38 like these are they were melted.

Yeah, I'm not sure I would break up the set either it's pretty special, but if you do, have something special you want to buy (like another collectible) in mind and then just convert to USD and buy it! Otherwise you'll just be holding BTC and it will seem boring, although if it keeps rising it's definitely not boring. That's how I sell collectibles, I look at it like play money and only sell when I want something else.

There were only 5 main funded 1000 BTC Gold coins ever made, there was 1 prototype or sample i guess am not sure
and these non funded(2 factor) coins which were 50 mint as stated here by mike himself

Charlie's coins are all BIP38 two-factor coins. I don't think the trackers track any BIP38 keys that Mike generated.

I believe these numbers to be correct. Unless of course it was coblee who was quoted saying that there were 50 minted, I'm sure he has much more information on it than any of us.
