Topic: [WTS] My Casascius Collection (Read 8463 times)
I have sold off the St.Petersburg Bitcoin Bowl Coin that was made by Casascius. I don’t believe it was ever pictured on this thread, nor does it hold actual BTC, but I wanted to update anyone that may be watching this thread. The brass coins are still available for sale if anyone wants them individually. Happy coining!
Just an FYI. I will only accept BTC for these coins. No USD in any form will be accepted for any reason.
Maybe the premiums will turn around someday. Right now people aren't paying much for anything sadly. good luck with your sale.

I got quite a few messages from different members last night but I guess people don’t like posting on this thread. LOL
Summing up the commonly asked questions… No, I will not break up the precious metals collection to sell the 0.1 BTC Casascius coin. No, I will not sell the gold Casascius coin for less than a BTC. No, the NastyFans Minted Seats are not individually for sale (they are a complete set all numbered #1 in each series).
If buyers are interested in individual coins, the brass ones would be the best bet to make an offer on. Breaking up the other sets to sell a single coin would require an offer I can’t refuse.

wow this thread is so cool.
I went ahead and updated the images in the OP so that people can see them without having to look at the code and load them externally. I had assumed that the forum would update their now broken links but since someone brought this thread up to me I figured I'd go ahead and manually update it. Enjoy!
Still open to parting with the newer brass coins without making you purchase the entire set. As always feel free to reach out to me via PM with any offers or questions.

I'm still accepting outrageously overpriced offers from collectors. The only coin from the OP that is no longer available for sale is the 0.5 brass Casascius coin, which was recently sold with no issues. Would like to move the brass ones first before moving on to the pièce de résistance. Feel free to reach out to me via PM with any offers, but be aware that 1) I won't ship anything until I've received payment & 2) I've been holding onto most of these coins for around a decade and am in no rush to sell them so please no lowball offers. With BTC having fallen so much recently, this seems like a good time to be overpaying in BTC for these collector's items.

If these were mine i wouldnt keep them at the bank. Id put them on the bed and role on them naked every night.
In that case, for the sake of future owners, I am glad that they are not yours.
Although I am willing to roll naked on them if it adds to the premium or there are enough people willing to subscribe to my onlyfans. Discounts available if you pay for your subscription in bitcoin.

Holy shit, this makes me feel like ive wasted my life.
I know you’re kidding, but I’d just like to ask, if these were sitting in your safe deposit box instead of mine, would you really feel your life was any different?
I say the value is 34k. Im guessing the to good to refuse pice is 58k. What i want to know is. What was the lowest price you received? Truly a spectacular coin. One youll probably never see again. I feel like i owe you money for looking at it.
The first look is free. If you reload the image or stare at it for longer than 2 minutes then it’s suggested to make a donation to the curator’s address: 168WXhArv7Fasqvi2xm5MQMfLhG18jifMe & if you right click save it you’ll be hearing from my NFT attorney!
The lowest offer I’ve received for it I believe was something around $3,500 and when I politely declined I was called names and told that I’m lucky someone offered above spot for it.

If someone asked you for the price of the 1000 Bitcoin coin, what do you think would be a fair price, I always wondered how much such a coin could be worth.
I have no idea. I’m not interested in fair prices. I’m only interested in offers that are so good I can’t refuse them. I think the highest offer I’ve rejected for it was around $30,000. It should also be noted that the coin is not loaded. If it were loaded, I don’t think a fair price could exist for it as it’s got to be the one of the most highly prized collectibles in crypto. I’ll also mention that I’ve gotten quite a few offers that mention the spot price of gold
in their offer which I have a tendency to ignore and then receive hate messages for not negotiating. Anyway, enjoy the pics. They’re all I get to see of them too, so it’s kinda like they’re all of ours, we just keep them at my bank.

The 0.5 BTC brass Casascius coin has been sold. It is no longer a part of this collection and has a new owner. I figured I should post this update in the event people were still watching this thread.
As a result of this sale, I’m willing to sell the remainder of the brass coins individually also, but for now the silver series coins are sticking together (unless I receive an offer I can’t refuse).
I’ve also gotten a few inquiries on the gold 1,000 BTC coin, but nothing within the realm of consideration. Please do not be offended if I ignore offers that aren’t within consideration.

I’m bad at math. What % premium are you using to calculate this?
I'm bad at semantics. What is it you're asking?
If I assume correctly that you're asking about the BTC loaded amount vs sale price, I think the answer would be at least for the 1000 BTC gold coin, a ∞ (infinite) premium.
Yes, loaded versus sale price. Didn’t notice the gold coin previously — it’s a stunner.

I am currently asking $1,178,429 for this collection according to Google. I am posting this because I thought it might be fun to see how this amount fluctuates over time. I suspect that in December this amount will either be staggeringly high, or terrifyingly low. Any guesses?
Just for comparison's sake, when I made this post the asking price would have been $93,240. Shockingly, many people say that Casascius coins have lost value during this period, but the extra million dollars doesn't feel like lost value to me. I guess it all depends on your perspective and attachment to reality.

Interesting read, thank you about that. It's funny to think/know that some people desires (in your case the initial liking of the whole idea) end up turning into valuable collections/items. I do reckon that even if you don't find any buyer for them you'll still manage to have a physical display of something that already has it's place in history + in the future you may be sitting in something that will be even more desirable. In that regard I wish you the best of luck in selling these.
Also, thank you for sharing your story regarding how this collection came to be.

You're welcome. I tend to think we're all living a Slumdog Millionaire type story of our own (Disclaimer: I've never actually seen the movie but it has been on my watch list for years). When you find that thing that takes all of your life experience and puts it to use, it's a wonderful feeling and it's own reward. I think if I didn't have that desire you mention, I probably would have sold off my coins very early on. I remember showing family members a 10 BTC coin one time and telling them I could probably sell it for $15,000 very early on. I was told I'd better cash it in or I could regret it for the rest of my life. I imagine many early Bitcoiners have plenty of stories like this and the ability to stick with your gut is the difference between realizing that value or having regrets. In this case it was easy, because I really appreciated Casascius' innovation and liked that it was something completely new that would open the door for more innovations, which I also attempted to foster with my own creation.
