Topic: [WTS] 2011 1 BTC Error Casascius Coin 2.25BTC - page 3. (Read 3172 times)
I should mention, although I'm looking to sell it for 2.5 BTC + if it doesn't sell in a few days, and I just get bored, I'll throw it up for auction starting at 2 or 2.25 and see where it goes.
Yes I agree it does more harm than good to scrub pure or uncirculated coins, but for resilient alloys like brass, bronze, and steel, it can really bring out the highlights of otherwise "ordinary" coins.
I agree, in the case of not knowing how it will effect the value though, I will allow the buyer to clean it if they so choose. If you clean an old bronze roman coin, it loses like 95% of its value, however this isn't a coin from an ancient civilization, so I just don't know how it would effect the value. Its up to the market I suppose.
looks beat to hell
Yup, which is why I'm not selling it for 3-4 BTC like pristine ones.
Can you provide more information? This looks cool but where did it come from, how many are there?
It is a 2011 Error Casascius, the first run of physical Bitcoin coins produced by Casascius.
Here is a bit of additional information:

Just FYI, a good metal polish like Blue Magic would transform that coin on the face and around the edge, be careful around the hologram. Blue Magic also applies a thin, protective silicon finish to the metal. If it revitalized century-old bronze, a worn Casascius coin should be no problem.
I'm sure the tarnish could be removed easy enough, however I'm not going to do it myself, as that is generally frowned upon in coin collecting. When cleaning a coin, it removes mint lustre, which can damage the coin far more value wise than leaving the patina in tact. Whether that is the case for Casascius bitcoins, I don't know, but I'll let the buyer decide if they want to clean it or not.

Pics and price added.
Hey guys, I've got a 2011, 1 BTC error Casascius coin for sale. If you want to own a piece of history, but don't want to pay 3-4+ BTC for a flawless one, this one is for you! While its not in bad condition, it does have a reasonable amount of tarnish on the front (lower left) for its age, and some scratches on the back holo. With the impending Casascius shutdown, I've got no idea what a coin in "circulated" condition will go for, so if you are interested in it, pm me or post an offer in the thread.
I will accept Bitcoins, mailed cash, or gold/silver
Any agreed upon price would include Priority Shipping with tracking, and Signature confirmation if you want it.
If anyone is interested, feel free to pm me.
I'm fine with escrow if you pay the fee.
