Is it possible that the hologram on this coin and a few others would have more bold first bits if they're "the first off the printer"? I know it's more likely that the opposite be true, where text gets faded and lighter as ink runs out. But it's a thought to offer up.
One other option, maybe the bits were printed twice on this hologram, leading to the bolded effect.

Pics are too out of focus to pass judgment on the holo IMO. Looks suspect.

The print looks very "strong" compared the other picture

Yeah...never seen any Casascius 2011 with print that dark. I have seen pics of a few 100 bars and none looked that dark.
Same. Some additional pics of the hologram at different angles might help determine if it is a legitimate hologram or one of the Chinese knock offs that have become available for purchase.

Here is an album for examination. Let me know what you think.
I am not foolish enough to pass judgement, but I suspect someone here that is familiar enough with what to look for to spot a fake would be able to tell from those pics.
Does anyone know if the photos on uberbills are photoshopped? Because if you look

It shows a picture of the hologram, which is not bolded,

Of course they are. It would be impossible to get scans from all of the holograms.....

I agree. The owner of this says he got them all from Casascius in 2011, and did a copy/paste of the 'receipt' email. I dont think there is anything going on here, but can never be too careful with a 100 BTC coin.
Of note is that the 500 & 1,000 btc bars dont have the firstbits printed at all.. they are lasered (if i recall).

Odd how the bits are bold. Has anyone confirmed with mike that this has been done by him? Not implying anything i just never seen this on a cas product.
It doesn't match what I remember my 100 bar looking like, and the photo I have doesn't appear bold either. I'd also be highly interested to hear from Mike whether there were early, bolded bits.
Provenance might be important here.
Glad to see a 100 BTC bar finally hitting market...watching with interest!

Note that it seems that the first-bits appear to be thicker than most of Casascius coins. Can anyone link to other cases of this?
