I certainly still watch it with interest, and to keep an eye out for scam posts.
When the collectible marketplace heats up, I expect traffic will here as well.
It'd be great if you were willing to share any collectible trade details, especially ones that beat previous records.
Right on...
The hottest Casascius coin on the market recently has been the 0.5
BTC Silver S2, likely due to its rarity. nubbins sold two of these ungraded for 13.5
BTC each back in August (increasing record multiplier from 11 to 27)...reference link
here.
Subsequently djjacket sold an MS66 example, but sale price may not have been listed on the forum, djjacket would need to confirm final price as record, although whatever it was will set a new standard on this thread for a graded variation, since none are listed...reference
here.
Further note on a coin to watch--holomen has listed the first known ANACS graded MS67 example of this coin for sale
here.
Other recent records set, (given that no records are listed)
would be for the 1
BTC Silver S3 solid silver, the 1
BTC Silver S3 silver/gold, the 2011 1
BTC Brass S2 and the 5
BTC Brass S2.
1
BTC Silver S3 solid silver: several graded and ungraded sales in the 1.9
BTC-3
BTC range. Here is just one of many possible record sales...reference
here for SgtSpike's listings.
1
BTC Silver S3 silver/gold: several graded and ungraded sales in the 2
BTC-3
BTC range, possibly higher. I personally sold one of these for 3
BTC a while back, others may have sold for more--one possible reference
here.
2011 1
BTC Brass S2: justbtcme sold several of these to Otoh in July...reference link
here. Additional sales have taken place since in the 2-3
BTC range.
5
BTC Brass S2: Otoh also bought both an S1 and S2 version of this coin from justbtcme, reference link
here. Price not disclosed publicly, buyer and/or seller would need to confirm S2 price and if S1 sale beat existing 7.5
BTC record.
