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! Cheesy

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.

Day to day there would be no difference. But how did you feel about them when btc was 1k versus now how you feel about them when btc is 30-60. I bet your feelings on them have changed. The difference in feeling comes with the core belief that btc will be a million dollars a coin someday. Sure no change day to day, but your early forsight has changed the destiny of your family for generations to come. If played right your childrens children will live better, be smarter, have more, be healthier and praise you. Its not money, its wealth growing before your eyes. For those of us who love btc as much as you do but were just late to the party. These represent the pinnacle of success. Doesn't matter what anyone offers you. Dont sell them. Your grandchildren will sell them for a 100 million someday. Thanks for sharing

If these were mine i wouldnt keep them at the bank. Id put them on the bed and role on them naked every night.

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 Cheesy

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.

I kept my eye out for listings in the early years. The only coins I found difficult to get my hands on were the s2 2011 1 BTC brass coin and the 1000 BTC gold coin.

I didn’t set out to collect them all at first. I liked the idea of them so I purchased one of the originals with the error. Then I liked the silver ones so I bought them. At that point it just seemed like I might as well complete the collection so I slowly grabbed the rest. If I had more time before BTC got ridiculously expensive I probably would have purchased the 5 & 25 BTC rounds as well.

I had long wanted to make my own silver coin and when I discovered BTC one of the first things I did was reach out to Gavin Andresen for advice on a coin I wanted to make. He didn’t seem to like the idea because it wasn’t tied to any actual Bitcoin (several years later I made them anyway, my Bitcoin binary rounds). Casascius coins seemed to solve that problem of not being tied to Bitcoin but ran into a different issue with selling loaded coins that needed to be solved. Nevertheless, I wanted to own what I considered to be a great innovation on the idea of a coin and so I did.

May I ask how much time did you "invested" in gathering up all this coins? How did this "mission" came to your mind? Was it something that you supported right from the start, or the notion of having a physical coin of BTC was too much to pass on?

A picture worth almost 1.5 million dollars, now there's something you don't see every day. That is indeed an incredible collection OgNasty, congratulations!

I also would be very concerned about posting them. It’s a beautiful collection Og. I remember from many moons ago when I first discovered this forum seeing some of these coins

It is indeed a concern. I don't think I'll be shipping any of mine across the pond, but I've had pretty good luck shipping domestically.
*knocks on wood

It would be great to find one single buyer for the entire collection and meet with them in person to ensure a smooth transition. I've run out of duplicates to sell though, so I may have to start digging into this collection soon.

I think I will likely start with the Bitcoin St. Petersburg Bowl coin as it wasn't pictured in the collection anyway. Tongue

Anybody have any idea what those are going for these days or want to make an offer? The brass coins are also likely "soon" to the auction block so if you'd like to make a purchase out of the public eye, PM me.

Question: There are a lot of differing opinions on the grading from ANACS. Most coins are rare enough that an MS66 versus MS67 is not worth much to me, whereas it does with USA mint coins that have Billions minted each year. However, how is ANACS doing in regards to authenticating the coin? Counterfeiters are what threaten the value of all this and an authenticator will eventually really matter (I think). Do you agree? Is ANACS any good at this?

[/quote]

I'm sure ANACS uses the public address as the first verification of the coins as any of us would. Now that they have some HD images of previous graded coins it would be considerably more difficult to get a fake through. Plus the loaded dates are another tool

I’ve been thinking about selling a Casascius or two (few 1s and 0.5s) but I’m in the UK and the market is very limited here.

Lovely collection. Come to think about it, this could be worth 100's of millions by 2030. Good luck!

Thanks. I'll probably still be trying to sell them then but the return in USD is tantalizing to think about.

Maybe I should just do a raffle? 2.25 BTC per spot, winner take all or each coin raffled separately... What do you think? Who's in? Cheesy
