Wow!Wow!Wow!
I've never seen an MS-67 on an early coin before and think that this is probably the first, but based on recent gradings, probably far from being the last.
Anyway, that's a sweet coin and a sweet grade.
I wouldn't even know where to begin to offer seeing as one of the Ultras (my name for Casascius fanatics) would come with a starting bid over the 5 BTC mark.
Anyway, I'll definitely be watching this. Good luck with the sale though!
Edit: Interesting how the coin got such a grade considering that it looks like a chunk is missing from the B!?

Wow!
This is the first time I've seen a coin like this up for sale in a long time. I can't offer though.
I wish you all the best!

You are probably aware that this is an incredibly rare coin. The only sales precedent I am aware of for this coin is SgtSpike getting 50 BTC for a similar coin. ( https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/wts-rare-graded-2011-casascius-coin-256980 )
You can see the coin on the ANACS lookup database here: http://www.anacs.bounce.so/coins.php These are the same images I posted here. I'm truthfully not impressed with the quality of the ANACS images considering this is a nearly perfect coin. Obviously, a MS67 coin doesn't have blemishes that seem to appear in the pic.
I'll accept offers in the thread or on PM until August 5. I reserve the right to withdraw the coin or refuse any bid. Escrow is mandatory. I will provide proof of ownership (current pictures) to the winning bidder before payment. The coin is currently in secure storage and I don't plan to remove it unless the sale goes through.
I live in the Southeast US and will work with the buyer to arrange shipping at my expense.
Minimum offer is 40. Please spare both of us some agony by not making lowball offers.
I don't spend much time on bitcointalk (I'm still waiting for the forum upgrade), so please forgive me if I don't respond immediately... I will check several times a day.
