I would be very wary of purchasing anything that is protected only by a hologram sticker.
These prices are absurd. For one million dollars, there are plenty of thieves that would go to great lengths to counterfeit hologram stickers. For those prices, the bearer bars themselves would be easy to counterfeit.
Have to be one bold ass thief selling a plated gold bar that didn't have any BTC on it for 1,100BTC. Bitcoin was once worthless all the way to being worth over $1000. This might not be the item for you guys, but I can promise you there is someone out there who would like this item. Call the world record book because this might be the most expensive paper weight on the market, but I do think it has value.
Also I can assure you this isn't counterfeit and why would a criminal knock off something there is only 2 of in the whole world. That means a collector only has to know 1 other one or own 2 things and any other 500BTC bar in the world could be spotted as a fake.
Thanks is like trying to sell a 1/1 painting in a museum in France to an American museum. LoL This item is "counterfeit proof" per say. If you think the price is bad then go buy a different redeemed 500BTC bar
OK, I see your point.
But, counterfeiting aside, One million dollars is a ridiculous price for a redeemed bar. I've seen redeemed 100 BTC bars on ebay selling for less than $200. That was a few months ago. I don't think the prices have escalated that much in a few months.
I don't doubt that Casascius tokens are collectible...
There is a demand... i's just that your perception of their value is grossly inflated.
