Nice coins. I struggle with your valuations.

You're pricing the error coin at 6x face value?!? You realize that it's the most second common coin issued by Mike, right? Over 5,000 of these error coins remain funded (of a 6,000 mintage).

And the "tenth" coin is going for 15x face value? I guess I see your rationale for the higher valuation, because only 800 where minted, but 15x is way too much.

I look forward to seeing what these coins go for. My opinion is only my own but I believe the rationale on some of the offer prices for these coins are just insane and, worse, without logic. I think it's an important discussion for us all to have.

Cant speak for the error coin but if you find a casas tenth below 1 BTC please let me know.  Would buy em at that price point all day.  1.55 btc is not too far fetch.  They have been selling in and around there for awhile now.

Why should the tenth be 15 times more expensive than other coins with similar mintage? Just because people want that much doesn't mean people should be paying it. I bought my tenth for BTC0.71.

If we want fair prices we have to agree to only give fair bids and only accept fair offers.

You do not multiply the markup times the face value. There is a 1BTC + premium for these coins. All Casascius silver coins command at a minimum of 1BTC+ of a premium. Take a look through previous sales and you will see the pricing trends.

These Casascius coins are a piece of bitcoin history!
I think the prices will only go up as the demand gets higher and the supply stays the same.

Can you post pictures, link to the thread you purchased it from and post a txid of this transaction? A tenth selling for that cheaply should certainly be well documented as that is probably close to a record for the cheapest ever sold

Trying to take a picture of it next to other brass coins. It is one of the cleaner coins of the 2011 - 2013's I have, but pictures are so hard to get with multiple coins  Huh

Who started all this nonsense with x times the face value?
The premium of a coin in uncorrelated with the face value.

Agreed Took. Coins are worth what folks are willing to pay for them. Pure and simple.

Nice coins Blazed  Wink

Very nice Blazed, You have quite the collection Wink

Best of luck on the sale!

Thanks! It is amazing the difference with this MS-66 compared to others I am surprised it is not an MS-67.

I should toss up a picture of it next to a 65 to show the amazing diff between the 2..

2011 error coins always command a large premium for a few reasons: they were the first coins, they had an error holograms, and most were handled when purchased. It is extremely hard to find a clean non handled 2011 error coin. Most of them have graded low and MS-66 is really nice (Look how clean that coin is). I can give you a break down of premiums if you like or you can search for past sales.

I can answer that one...
Firstly, mintage of the Bitcoin tenth is low as you've already said.
Those that have gotten their coins graded haven't received high grades and an MS-66 is considered high for this specific coin.
Most average MS-64/65. Because there aren't many of them with this grade I guess it's more of a seller's market wither regards to determining the price.

These coins are funded and obviously in excellent shape! - If they were peeled I would make that fact very obvious.

Watch out for fake Blazedout419's trying to post and trick you!

Are the coins funded? Maybe I'm overlooking it in the images Smiley

You can also use the code on the holo to determine the public address for the coin and check to see if they are funded.
