Exactly.

Wow what a ridiculous mark up. Someone who has the time and money could likely successfully counterfeit that bar if they so wanted.
Good luck with the sale.

Well that would make them a dick. They can do all that, but they can't sign the address. Making it "unsuccessful".

I presume you mean that since they would have a different address they would not be able to prove the bar is authentic via the address?
You are right that if someone wanted to verify the address the bar has under the hologram to mike's public address list then yes it would be near impossible to 100% counterfeit it.
Price increase to 375 for the 100btc loaded s1 error.

How would one sign the address for an unopened casascius coin? Everyone knows the public key, but if you put a fake gold plated bar (easy) with a fake hologram (trickier) it would be almost impossible to tell them apart without providing signed evidence from Caldwell himself (which I imagine there is, but again that verifies the seller, not the bar)
I believe that he was referencing the ridiculous mark up on the opened 500BTC bar which is a 1 of 2 piece which has been passed along a few Bitcoin elites and will stay with Bitcoin elites!
The 100BTC bar is the only one that is unopened and it is priced well with the market.
I never sell bunk or knock off products. I can stand here today and say I am 100% sure these are authentic.

If any interested parties need a photo update I am more than happy to get one!
Thanks!
Thanks!
Necro bump!
The 500BTC bar has been redeemed.
who in their right minds would pay $1m for an empty bar?
Kinda like saying who would pay for rare art is only paint and canvas. There is only one other 500BTC bar out there besides this one.
This is a TERRIBLE analogy. The paint and canvas comes together to make a rare art, worth $1million. But if I strip off all the paint, are you going to buy just the canvas for $1million?
I'll bow down to you if you can ever sell this paperweight for $1m.
I guess it depends which canvas it is
It its barely even half a million right now for a 1 of 2. Easy peezy

The hologram error and/or the bar itself has a value in USD, not in BTC. I would be interested to know what price BTC/USD was at when someone paid for a 100BTC hologram error series 1 bar for 335BTC.

not sure what you're expecting here. Nobody is going to pay 300 BTC for a 100 BTC bar - the added value of the hologram error is maybe worth 2-3 BTC *at most* (if that) - so a max price of 102 or 103 is far more reasonable. You've already had an offer of 102.5, maybe you should take that and accept the 2.5 BTC profit.

102.5 is far too low. An unredeemed bar carries far more value than a redeemed bar (not counting contents). IF redeemed 100BTC bar went for ~2.5BTC than an unredeemed should be capable of going for far more - perhaps 120BTC.
Mine is just for cold storage, conceived with a blank slate and remains so..I wouldn't ask for even close to this much. heh
that asking price for something empty seems ridiculous to me

my client has already made a sale of a series 1 hologram error for over 335btc.
I do sympathize with what you're saying though, but he is in no hurry to sell these and is happy to hand them down to his family

I saw this as the auction was running.
Prices updated and forwarding all offers on the 500BTC to the owner!
Thank you
Sure man. Just know that these two bars are not in SF, but I am happy to take you out to lunch if you get some free time.
I know of a 100BTC s2 that is on the market over in the DC area too. Much cheaper, but not a s1 hologram error. 100BTC is 100BTC to most people unless you are trying to collect.
