There are pictures of 2 different coins ? 1 s1 and 1 s2 .... smells of fish

Is the other coin maybe the one he mentions here:  (quote from auction)
"To sweeten the deal I will also include the following as an added bonus, at no extra charge:
1x Redeemed 2012 1 BTC Casascius Coin (retail $200)
1x Set of the Promotional Full 6 Color Line Anodized Aluminum Casascius Coins (retail $50)
1x An Autographed Business Card by the creator of the Casascius Coins, Mike Caldwell (retail $$$?)"


So one picture shows a series 2 5, still funded http://casascius.uberbills.com/?address=1CSrLqKf7BMVAF3kjJXTD1LNyjuD4kibuM

One picture shows a series 1 5, still funded http://casascius.uberbills.com/?address=1Cmrpdz7sWqgw32oUXveKCv6GEHSQJ5TdP

Still smells fishy. Ebay member since the start of August only, and a feedback score of 1. On the plus side, has potential for being a dirty minx, as the other items for sale are Playgirl magazines. I suggest a pickup in person to clarify. Anyone near Atlantic City ?

Apologies for the Thread Jack Blazed.

I don't know, seems reasonable when you read through his description:

Quote
By this point, almost every Casascius coin has been redeemed of all denominations. This is 3 years of pure vintage GOLD.
Look online yourself if you don't want to take my word for it.
In fact, I can firmly and quite confidently state that this is the ONLY original 2012 version one 5 BTC coin that has not been tampered with and in pristine condition.
It may even be the only version one 5 BTC 2012 series left in its original state.

It's the last S1 5BTCRoll Eyes

Just to weigh in on the multiplier on the 25BTC coins... That coin, both S1 and S2, is both rare and iconic. It seems a bit insane to me that they wouldn't go for a decent premium; at least 2x (and no, I don't own a bunch of them).

I think *eventually*, they will, even if BTC > $10,000. There are plenty of highly sought-after traditional coins that go for six-figures (for which the face multiplier would be thousands, btw).

As I've said before, numismatics, whether gold double eagles, flying eagle copper cents, or Casascius coins is driven primarily by rarity, history, and grade, with a kicker for physical beauty. The 25BTC coin is one of the rarest Casascius issues, is dated 2011 (the oldest Casascius date), a high percentage were opened, and a large fraction of articles about Bitcoin STILL feature that coin as the lead image.

http://www.spotcoins.com/bitcoin/casascius

In short, it's rare, intimately tied to Bitcoin's history, and is already recognized as noteworthy.

If anyone's selling for <= 2BTC over face with a verified ownership chain, PM me (Edit: but give Blazedout a shot first, as this is his thread...)

Melbustus! I love your work man/woman! That spotcoins site is the best summary of Casascius coins, have you been updating it? If so, how frequently do you updat the metrics on redeemed coins.

Thanks.


Thanks, appreciate it. Makes me want to work on it again. To answer your question - it *was* fully scanning every casascius-coin address for changes every 24hrs and updating the site accordingly... Will have to check that my update job is still running fine, though - had some issues with the blockchain.info API shutting me down (been meaning to switch to a better backend API anyway). Should have some free time in August to work on it.

Updated topic - no longer looking for a 25BTC, but still after the rest.

Inquiring minds want to know, are you no longer looking because you've acquired what you were looking for?

Looking for the following Casascius items. I am willing to buy them via BTC, Cash, or Trade (Other Cas Items)

I do not care about condition or grades - just has to have intact holograms

5BTC Casascius Coins (S1 or S2)
10BTC Casascius Coins (all silver or with gold BTC)
25BTC Casascius Coins (S1 or S2)
Casascius Bearer Bars - only private key not 2FA


Seller cflow01 on ebay is selling many Casascius items at the moment.
I know he has 2 of the bearer bars ( 1 is 2fa the other is not)
I think he goes by bitguy101 on here, but have been told that he is not here too often.
I have bought a couple in the past from him. No complaints. Smiley
Hope this helps

Yep its bitguy101. Last I knew he was locked out of the forum and pleading with the mods to sort it out.

If anyone needs to get hold of him, I can relay a message outside of the forum.

Blazed, not forgotten you need a couple of pics from me. Will try and do later. Just been busy with other bits.



Cool thanks! Looking forward to getting that coin  Cool

Wow, I agree, $200 is a tad high for raw, even after they take their 13% "ransom".

If you're looking for one graded, TookDk had (still has?) an MS-67 for sale in his thread (too lazy to find and link it) for I think 1.0BTC.

Yep, its still for sale, MS67-DCAM, price: 1 BTC:

I think $200 is a bit high on those coins...2x the retail already?!?

Yeah, not surprising that there's no bids yet, but these people on eBay are fiat coin sellers looking for a new angle. You can tell which ones bought their Casascius coins in January of last year... the coins going for $1,500 buy it now with no auction. Ha.
