- why are you selling?
- what's the condition of each coin?
- send me an asking price for 5 of them
- where do you ship from?

- I bought them in bulk with the intention of selling them individually.
- The coins were bought directly from Casascius. I put each coin in an air-tite capsule untouched.
- Asking price is in the first post.
- I only ship to the USA.

John,

Understood.   Didn't want you to take offence.  It's all good.

I do agree that a manufacturer shouldn't compete with it's resellers.  Hope they (he) makes it up to you.

A few weeks ago, bitcoin was only $200.   So, a $200 premium per coin
Since BTC has doubled in price against the dollar, this means you have to consider the premium should be half the number of bitcoin from 1 to .5 accordingly (plus loaded value of 1 BTC).
Sorry you are taking a loss, but against the dollar, you haven't lost.
Can't complain though, because you could have bought coin for half the price only weeks ago in order to get the physical coins.  Which means you are making a very nice profit.

I don't think dollars are relevant because I'm selling bitcoins that were bought with bitcoins and are sold for bitcoins. But, if you want to think in dollars, then look at it this way: I am losing more than $100 (0.25 BTC plus costs) on each coin.

Cas is selling these for BTC1.47 Each.  I assume OP just has not updated this post in a while with a new price.

He originally sold 20 coins at 35 BTC just a few weeks ago. Now, his single coins are priced far below that and I'll have to sell at a loss. If he wants resellers, he can't compete with them like that.

New price -- 1.50 BTC
It's probably largely because the value increase of BTC means he can maintain his margins on a lower BTC price per coin.

They've become quite collectible, and somewhat difficult to acquire.

Not sure how collectible something is if it is still available.  I could collect alum can, but if Coke is still producing the product, there is no sense.

Are there stats on production runs, etc.  Isn't this a relatively new coin?

I would hope to see some stat saying only 1000coins made or some such.

Again, not to be taken wrong.  I don't mind buying items, but would like to know more about it other than the premium.

2BTC for a 1BTC coin with $22 worth of silver.

Don't take this wrong, am I misreading something?  $350 seem quite the premium for the coin.
Super limited run or something?
