is Anyone on Bitointalk who is in possession of 1000BTC funded Casascius Coin ?

I would be interested in buying 1

I would be very interested to see what one would end up selling for.

IMO this is the most likely place to find an owner of one

A got a couple I can part with........

No really that would be amazing if you found one.  Not messing around with your collecting huh.

Oh i would also possibly be interested in redeemed 1000btc coin, but i am particularly interested in funded one.

I have a hard time believing anyone holding one of these is interested at this price.  There are only a few active in the world.

I would also love to get my hands on a redeemed one.

Goat privately sold for somewhere around one million dollars? All I heard was rumors.

That is what I recall tho.

It looks like between the coins and the bars, there are only a total of 5 unredeemed in existence. If you were to include redeemed bars/coins, your total would jump by an additional 16.

According to this (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=214589.0;all) thread (the OP) one sold a while back for 1,250 BTC, which at the time was worth roughly $1,000,000.

I would think that due to it's extremely high price that it would tend to sell at a somewhat lower premium as very few people would be able to afford it, however the above appears to not be the case

The goat did sell 1 for 1 million dollars (part cash part BTC). The goat also still owns 1 more...not sure who else owns one, but I do know someone who was offered one for an insane price last year.

Goat hasn't been online since 2014, do you know any way i could reach him?

He is banned, but if you are serious about buying one I can try to get in touch with a person who might still have one.

Would you believe that 2 of the 5 of these BTC1000 coins have been redeemed?! Craziness. You might need to show up some proof that you have the $250,000 to cover the face value of this one, let alone the premium that one would charge.

Good luck in you hunt, maybe call Southeby's.

I know there's a 100 btc redeemed bar on ebay:

I'm sure the ebay store is operated by someone on here, I just cant remember who I'm afraid.

Good luck with your search anyway :).

If I remember rightly Zhou Tong of Bitcoinica infamy said he had one and it would be his last remnant of his time in bitcoinland.

There we go https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=81581.0

Whether he's worth believing is another matter.

A fantastic thing to own but seriously unwieldy to offload. You might be able to buy a small country with it in the years to come.

Only 5 coins in existence, if I recall correctly...

Surely the "holy grail" of physical bitcoins. Good luck in your search!

Wish I had bought one of those back in the day.....We can only hope someone wants to auction it off, It'll surely fetch a nice price :)

*Apparently* bitmarket.io has one. At least that's what he told me. I asked for pics and he disappeared so I can't say for sure. It won't hurt to ask I guess.

What do you think is fair range price for funded 1k coin nowadays ?

Lord knows. I think Goat asked $50,000 for an unfunded one. Traditionally the higher the denomination, the lower the premium but this one would be a very special case. The pool of potential buyers would be rather minute though.

That's the million dollar question I suppose. I can't remember any high value coins or bars being sold for a long time.

But I do know the rarer they are the higher the premiums are put on so I would hate to think how much one's worth.

Yep the info you have been given so far is good. Goat or ZT

I seem to recall chainsaw had a redeemed 1k coin or bar

Also bayareacoins had a redeemed 500 bar he was selling

That link posted for the 100 bar is one of the few 100 bars that never got funded. So hologram still in tact. 12 of these in total, split between standard and 2fa. That seller is bitguy101. I did have one of those spare myself, but it's currently reserved. I can let you know if that doesn't work out.

Finally .... Just like those never funded 100 bars .... There is just 1 never funded 1000 bar. And I have it  :) not planning on selling, but everyone has a price I suppose. Feel free to make me an offer I couldn't refuse

Dang these bars are rare, what was the original selling price that Mike put on them when released?

Hey Monekey,

As i said im particularly interested in funded 1000 coin, I am still interested in a never funded one, but i doubt i could make you an offer that you think would be fair. So im just not going to insult you with my offer :)

He does not have one lol.

I cant quite believe there are people looking to spend $250k+ on a loaded bar its unbelievable money to me more than my house is worth in fact.... :o

Well, the type of person who'd probably go for it is likely to be an early adopter who mined or laid out a fraction of current values. It's still an underground icon. Real money all the same, though.

Yes you're probably right or a wealthy person that believes in bitcoin :).

If the premium was reasonable it would sell easily. Obviously a deal like this would be worth a flight and a face 2 face meeting.

I wish I had one to sell you! If you don't mind me asking... Why would you or anyone want one so bad that they would spend a small fortune?

Hey hayabusa,

I have been an early adopter of bitcoin and i recently started collecting bitcoin collectibles, The 1000btc funded coin would be the must have for me.
