I might also be interested in this if there is some kind of certificate of authenticity created with some way a 3rd party could verify.

People are demanding too much evidence that's impossible to provide. I have some people saying I may have gold plated a defect on one of my coins. And to prove it to be a genuine defect from the mint is impossible. I find it fucking ridiculous. The only justification is a general consensus by the masses. Rank and status means absolutely nothing.

Welcome to the bitcoin age, where rank and status mean nothing!

I would like to bid on it, shit is part of history, gonna be worth millions as long it made by satoshi yamakato himself

Hillarious. You *would* like to bid on it? But only if it's made by Satoshi himself? I guess that's why you didn't list a bid. Theymos, I think .1BTC is a pretty good offer for token like this.

theres already a 1BTC offer some time ago, you need to bid higher.

I think that WAS .1BTC.

And, after your post was a 1btc casascius brass coin (not sure if redeemed or not).

Thanks for sharing coin on here. I noticed the coin is being used in news: http://news.yahoo.com/bitcoin-may-finally-reached-tipping-point-214512731.html?soc_src=mediacontentstory article is just a few days old.

That article is bullshit. It was posted yesterday. This gives it no credence whatsoever.

How does this end ? When higher offers stop coming ? When the target price is met ?

theymos just want to know how high the price could go to. Cheesy

@Theymos why are you selling it? I don't understand. You just don't believe in these physical collectibles? Why did you buy it and decide to sell it now?

I'm not entirely sure that I will sell it now, but I wanted to see what the interest and price level was like.

It is an interesting item. But no, I'm not much of a collector, and every time I see the image of this coin I think, "I should really do something with that thing..." It's just been sitting in my safe for 3.5 years. Maybe someone else will appreciate it more than I do. (If I needed quick money, I'd sell one of my 9 series-1-error Casascius coins Wink

You don't need to sell something that has sentimental value. It's not like you need the terrible offers seen so far. The forum makes you plenty of revenue.

Unbelievable. That's overkill. Good luck. Tongue

you know me..I like 1 of a kind BTC stuff...like that signed BTC from Casascius Tongue

Get tcatm to engrave or sign or somehow put his name/ID on that coin. Then it'll be worth it. Your wall sign is so much cooler though. That's been seen by a ton of folks. That's a great item for your collection. Plus it's something you can wallmount and show off. I'm very interested to see how much this coin will sell for.

It could probably get you a lot more bragging rights if you had more proof and more media on the coin itself

Are the front and back identical?

The coin is pretty famous, even if there hasn't been much media on the coin itself. The image in the OP is seemingly used as a stock image in ~5% of all news stories about Bitcoin. Try doing a reverse image search on it.

The copper doesn't go all the way through the coin. The obverse is just the semi-clear plastic stuff.

User tcatm doesn't have much of a reputation. No media coverage. Nothing. His post, this forum, and your listing is the only thing that gives it credence and value. That isn't enough for me. But it might be for some other person.

I love to buy coins, but I don't think this carries much value. Defiantly less than a Casascius coin.

You've probably seen this coin in various Bitcoin articles:

It was created in 2010 by Bitcoin core developer Nils Schneider (tcatm). I bought it shortly afterward. I believe that it might be the first-ever physical Bitcoin coin. It doesn't have any sort of private key embedded in it or anything, though. It is one-of-a-kind (AFAIK).

I'm thinking about maybe selling it. Is anyone interested?
