Lol. Good luck picking up a "regular" Casascius 1 BTC Silver Gilt for 1.5, let alone a graded coin or one with this controversial error.

After seeing your bids and comments on bitmarkets coins recently, I'm starting to get the feeling that you're purposely trolling.. Roll Eyes Either that, or you just don't follow the market. Yes, the prices of coins are down lately - but I'm still waiting to see a Casascius 1 BTC Silver Gilt go for less than 2 BTC on the forum.

I love how you take the time to read my posts to come to the conclusion that im trolling. What's even funnier is how I am the only one really bidding on any of his coins. So how about you put your money where your mouth is and make a bid.

1.5 is a joke which is why I am ignoring your 'bid'. I already received 3 PMs with offers. Top one was for 4BTC but couldn't reach agreement. I think 4.5BTC is a very fair price. Without the error 2-2.5 is fair, I feel the unique error adds a solid 2. Anyway, I'm in no rush to sell.

Oh and there is nothing uncooler than making an offer only to retract it later with an even lower and insulting offer.

Im sorry you feel insulted about my offers. Im insulted that your titles read "Very Rare" and "highly desired" yet your items have been for sale for years without any action.

So clearly highly desired and very rare are insulting terms to me because you are trying to take advantage of those who know no better.

I am not going to derail bitmarkets thread further, so this will be my last comment to you. Have a good look at my trading history, along with my payment address which has remained static for the last 2 months, and you will find that I have done trades that total way over 100 BTC in just a couple months. I have no interest in these coins at these prices, which is why I won't bother giving bitmarket an offer which would come across as lowballing. That said, I am prepared to offer 15 BTC for the Casascius 10 BTC coin, which is more than you did - and this is an offer I would honor. I am also prepared to offer 2.8 BTC for this specific coin. So, if you are going to try and be a smart ass, do a little research next time.

@bitmarket.io - apologies for derailing your thread. I will leave now Wink

A perfect example is the XMR coins I got minted that were reversed in the original design. The mint gladly wrote a letter, signed it by all parties to indicate it was indeed a minting error. All of the proper documentation is there to prove the errors in the coins.

Agreed, minting errors tend to carry much more weight. Gold plating could be faked (not saying this one is or isn't).
Maybe any "error" coins that hit the market for the first time should be sold with these papers, to be able to match the coin serial number/bitcoin address with the papers would solve any discrepancies like this down the track.

I thought i remember reading about fake Casascius error holograms once but i could be mistaken.

Not worth the time and money. It would be very funny for these 'error' coins to suddenly start popping up. With questionable quality. So while yes someone could do it, it's unlikely. If there was one out there with an error like this or more it would of made its way to the public eye by now.

Not to say that yours was done this way, but thats not really true. I hadn't thought about it before, but I could electroplate any shapes someone wanted on a coin for less than $20. You just need a couple of acids, a bit of gold, a battery, and plastic wrap with whatever shape you want to be plated cut into it.

That said, that comparison is like saying collectors coins with flaws are worthless because someone could get an unflawed coin and replicate the flaw themselves. Things that are messed up straight from the mint tend to have a higher value with collectors.

Couldn't someone just take a Casascius and send it to a gold plating company and have it gold plated the same shape or symbol for a decent fee?
Yes. Or to quote casascius on that matter:
"Someone could have done it themselves. I didn't do this deliberately if it came from me"

I was not aware Mike said this, so then how would one know for sure that the "heart" was indeed legitimately from a batch of coins that Mike sold and had gone through him with that gold heart "error"?

I remember there being some discussion directly with Mike about this. I can't remember what the conversation ended with regarding the gold heart.

As I've said someone could easily pay a small fee and have the same mark on their casascius coin or another error mark of their choosing and call it an error.

I'm no expert on the history of this specific coin, but one should question the legitimacy of such a coin and what that cost should be to determine a fair market price for it.

It doesn't cost much. Perhaps you should look into the cost of doing such a task prior to saying it's "not worth the time and money" to do so given the premium you are asking is more than $20-$50 above what a casascius 1 BTC silver coin costs at market price. You are asking at least $1000 higher than a normal 1 btc casascius silver with gold BTC sells for.

People will do with their money what they want, not stopping them of course. Just stating the obvious about cost vs price.


Good luck with your sale.

I can up the offer to 2.5 BTC

Thanks for the offer but it's too low. Already received offers higher than that.
