For the lot i would say anywhere from 11-16btc depending on some variables such as condition/timing/lot size of the sale/etc.  Nice coins

I am trying to upload pic but cannot... It seems I cannot load image. How do I do that??


You can't upload pictures I'm afraid, its because your account is new. As your activity increases and you get to Junior Member (if memory serves) then you can post pics that have been uploaded to Imgur/etc.

For now, you just need to post the links for the coins, and someone will post the pictures for you Smiley

      I have also three 2011 loaded in December 2011   are those the series 2 you pointed out?

We'd need to see pictures to be certain. But for you, the series 2 have a different hologram and structure of the first bit letters (they aren't dotmatrix like the series 1). And most importantly the series 2 doesn't mis-spell Casascius as "Casacius".

In this great resource (https://coinfirm.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Casascius-eBook-Plus-2.pdf) compare the image on page 82 (2011 series 1) with the image on page 85 (2011 series 2).

The value? 2BTC+. The series 2 from 2011 is far more rare and is starting to command a higher premium (as it should). But the error is cool and since it was first produced there are lot of original owners that have probably disregarded/lost these coins or didn't treat them as collectible and they're in worse condition.

The premium for an first 100 made? Absolutely...and obviously you can prove the sequence within which it was funded.

Pictures would help.

Congratulations to you!

Personally i would like one of the first 100 coins produced by mike.  I think that is an added bonus, although first day funding would fetch higher.  I think there are collectors that do like the first run added bonus to a coin.  But like everyone else said, based on condition and if these things were just handed around then i imagine it has some wear to it.

Hi...I am relatively new in this forum but not new to Bitcoin and its concept.

A few years back I bought a Casascius bitcoin 2011 error 2011-09-08 02:35:15 . According to the site this is the second day loading of such coins.
The guy who sold it to me said he was given this coin for free at a convention on bitcoin when they were still novelty items. Not in mint condition but
good.

     My question is..    a) what is something like this worth above the value of the loaded bitcoin market value?
                               b)  Does the value matter that this was one of the very first 100 coins made by Mike Caldwell?

     I also have a silver gold plated 1BTC loaded 2013-12-14 04:13:04 ....meaning this is one of the very last if not the last loaded by Mike before he said it would shut down on the 27th November. I bought this one directly from Mike and was afraid that I would not get it since he was shutting down operations. So I was lucky he came thru! Tongue

     Any feedback would help. Thanks

Hi there, and welcome to the forum! Smiley

That Casascius Error Coin will depend entirely on value. As you are a new member, you cannot yet post pictures, but please take photo's of both sides of the coin and upload them to a site such as Imgur, and post the links here - we will be able to give you more accurate information then.

To answer:
a) Currently, around 1 BTC extra. Depends entirely on condition.
b) Yes, I would say that it being one of the first 100 would make it slightly more desirable to collectors - again, this depends entirely on condition, so pictures are needed.

That 1 BTC Casascius Silver Gilt is also worth around the 2 BTC mark ungraded. Again, pictures will be required here please.

Please come back with that info, and we will be happy to help further!

You should ask these questions in the Collectibles sub-forum. Pictures of said coins will help. I assume by what you wrote that they're not graded, nor protected. That will decrease its price considerably. Can't really tell you about a), I've been away from the collectibles section for quite some time. As for b), yes, but don't expect to get a huge premium for that.
