Would you billing to share how long it to you to complete the collection and how much was spent in total for all of the coins shown?

I purchased all the silver coins from Mike's website so that was easy enough. The only coins that took a while to find were the 2011 s2 and of course the gold coin. Since I believe they were nearly all purchased in 2013, the USD price would be fairly low. However, I would guess the total BTC cost was somewhere around 70 BTC.

Wow, beauty of a collection!

You have all the finest pieces. I suppose having the 25BTC coins would technically complete the set but I personally don't find those coins to be as clean and classic looking as the rest. It's something about the rounded font and engraving.

Would you billing to share how long it to you to complete the collection and how much was spent in total for all of the coins shown? Perhaps it's too personal but I know it would be an interesting set of facts to go along with the story.

Congrats to you, OG.

Nice collection! You really need to scoop up a 25BTC to round it out.

What does it feel like to hold that 1000 btc coin?

I thought that a part of me would feel some disappointment because my gold coins are so much larger.  I didn't at all though. It really is a great coin.


somehow I believe you, if you KNOW the price is going down by 50% for SURE tomorrow, and you have no time to sell it... Do you open it?  Grin

These specific 1000 BTC Casascius Fine Gold Coins are not loaded with 1000 BTC - they are empty. Coblee (Charlie Lee, creator of Litecoin) had a case complete with 12 (?) of them IIRC. They were obtained directly from Casascius himself years and years ago. Most of us were unware of their presence until very recently.

I don't believe I will ever open a Casascius coin. I have no interest in trading BTC rate fluctuations for profit.

That's some serious Coin porn right there.

Congrats on managing to put that together.

Presume that is a S3 0.5 silver? What about the S2 0.5 silver?  Grin

No idea to be honest.  I bought a roll from Casascius early on and that's how I got the 0.5 silver.  I don't really care about the different series holograms outside of the 2011 error and fixed ones.


That is quite an impressive collection, congratulations! Do you have any inkling to get the 25 BTC coin or the bars?

I have a peeled 5 BTC and I've been considering getting a peeled 25 BTC but I can't bring myself to pay the going rate.  The bars don't particularly interest me.  I had one and sold it a while back.  Mostly I am a fan of the gold/silver rounds.

I finally managed to complete the precious metals Casascius collection all with intact holograms, along with every year and denomination of the originals (along with the very first error coin).  I thought some people might like to see them, so here they are.  They are all loaded with the exception of the 1000 BTC, which still has an intact hologram.

Willing to entertain offers of 35 BTC.


Not pictured is the St. Petersburg coin.

...and of course the originals.
