Just to let anyone who is wondering know, this person is not me.

Then we have at least 3 ms68 0.1btc in the market?

Thats pretty ambitious, but good luck with your sale.

I guess we will see in the next 24 hours or so.

that would be correct. I have only have one MS 68. I saw Quickseller's thread and it inspired me to post :)

3 out there is still pretty rare..

@OP- if you can provide pictures and be willing to send to a trusted escrow who will forward the coin to me then I could be interested. I'd like pics ASAP please.

I i get alot of interest on this, I may actually put it to auction. Pics are coming shortly. I will certainly accept a reputable escrow.

Do you have the coin in hand now?

yes. I am charging the battery for my camera right now

To the OP, when you take those pictures can you please make sure the pics are clear so we can see the detail and know the 6 digit address prefix (so we can verify the coin is funded)?

Thanks.

This is actually a point ive often thought about;

When it comes to Casascius coin, wouldn't it make more sense to blur out the prefix, while ensuring that the photo is very clear and proves that the hologram is intact? This way, the particular coin cannot be 'tracked'. I personally believe this is the best way; has a fully intact casascius coin ever been seriously questioned regarding it being funded?

That said, im happy to ensure it all shows clearly if thats what the buyers want :)

p.s. What are the market's thoughts on using throw-away handles vs. original accounts for sales? I didnt put much thought into it; just figured 'why not'. On one hand; escrow and clear photos eliminate risk. on another hand, the well-known individual may gain much more interest. Thoughts?

I dont see an issue with a throw away but of course escrow needs to be used.

For that matter im assuming you are someone amongst all of us here, why the anonymous name being needed.  I could see if you had a 100+BTC cas coin or bar as you wouldnt want people trying to find out where you live but dont think that your coin would garner that.  Not knocking you just wondering why.

No good reason, suppose I just wanted to experiment :)

Battery is taking a while to charge; I will reveal excellent quality photos tomorrow, in addition to my identity which you are all familiar with.

In the meantime, first person to guess my normal account handle via PM gets a prize! (1 guess per hour). Have fun my friends!

I know who you are.. ;D

Why are you hiding your identity if you are simply going to reveal it tomorrow ???

I know that I am going to be very excited to see pictures of such a beautiful coin :)

What is the prize for guessing your identity?

......quickseller is this you and you're just having some saturday night fun?

A little fun is always fun ;)

Prize: a Casascius coin (that should get you people excited)

LOL no, it is not me haha. I stated this is not me in my first post in this thread. I came across this thread because the OP posted in a thread that I am following, and I was curious as to who someone with such an interesting name was posting in smoothie's auction thread was.

I would think creating this thread would probably hurt the value of the coin that I plan on selling in the near future, regardless of the outcome in this situation.

I think the throw away account is sort of silly, but if you provide pictures and escrow does not matter. I do think that selling with a trusted account is always better since it keeps everyone more relaxed. Good luck on the sale!

You said everyone is familiar with you here.

So assume that it is true, I'll make a guess that you currently have 63 level trust ?

The funding interest is also to make sure the coin hasn't been overfunded, beyond what Mike first funded the coin with - to me (not everyone) this ruins the original value and state of the coin.

I think using a newb account to facilitate sales is fine, you'll just be expected to use an escrow for the sale and payment.

This is definitely an interesting thread and looks like it's gonna be a bit of fun. When you say 1 guess per hour does that mean 1 guess per hour per user or what?

I'm calling wheresmycoin out on his bluff. We know it's you! ;)

 ??? definitely not me, i own only 1 account, anacs too out of reach for me, i even have to send few coins to monkeynuts for grading.

This is most likely not the same coin that miffman sold to monkeynuts earlier this year. The syntax on the miffman/monkeynuts coin was [address] Silver, while the syntax on your coin is Silver [address]. Although it is possible (but IMO very unlikely) that monkeynuts were to get the coin reslabbed.

Prior to posting the picture, I did have one guess as to who you are, and honestly didn't think any pictures would ever be posted. Now that you have posted somewhat of a picture, I haven't a clue who you are

LEL at your avatar. Reminds me of these:

So I was just about to guess the OP is nubbins, then nubbins posts...hmmm - I still guess nubbins :)

Looks pretty much like the anime angry bird, just upload since i don't have a suitable avatar yet.. :P

these are the 1kilo silvers? why its gold in colour.. the owl design looks funny though..
they are probably inspired from this: http://i62.tinypic.com/2uy1sf5.jpg

since this has been posted, i side-track abit..--> I have just ordered a 2OZ alice-in-wonderland silver clock, anyone here bought it too, whats your opinion?
http://i61.tinypic.com/do08bc.jpg

some photos from apmex here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2015-Australia-2-oz-Silver-Alice-in-Wonderland-Antiqued-Clock-SKU-91748-/111719833652?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1a03056034 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/2015-Australia-2-oz-Silver-Alice-in-Wonderland-Antiqued-Clock-SKU-91748-/111719833652?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1a03056034)

Well it can't be Monkeynuts as he's from the UK and shopping is from North America.
My second guess (it's been over an hour since my first) would be bitmarket.io

Its me guys

Congrats on the very nice coin. When did you get it graded?

I didnt; I actually received it from another individual

I not sure when exactly it was graded. That said, it does look quite flawless in the photo if I do say so myself :)

Im actually a bit dissapointed that nobody guessed me. I got 3 people guessing blazedout. also nubbins, bitmarket, wheresmycoin, quickseller, etc. Nobody even suspected  me :P

I think its just cause those guys go through 68s on here like its their job.   ;D

Elionite if its any consolation you came to mind but for some reason I was thinking US

I'm glad it turned out to be someone we know :).

I thought it might have been some weird new scam attempt :D.

Don't be disappointed, I think we all just looked to deep because of the reward you were offering. I chose the users based on a couple of things. I firstly did a search for users on here who have dealt with graded casascius coins and who ship from North America. Although I didn't get anything concrete, I know that Bitmarket recently got a bunch of silver coins grades from ANACS including an MS-69 and MS-68.
I guess I just don't see enough of you selling ANACS graded coins.

My first thought was Quickseller...I never would have guessed you Elianite (I rarely see you trading Casascius coins).

So what coin were you planning to give away as prize?

So what coin were you planning to give away as prize?

A redeemed 5btc casascius.
That said, it will now be free to whoever buys this:)

thought the redeemed 25b was the prize :P

I'm not quite that generous :P

You have a redeemed 25?

I do..

Beauty of a coin, Elianite, I hope this coin is the one representing the photos in your book!

I hope you get every satoshi you deserve for this beauty, thanks for sharing the really high-quality photos. You know, when you PM'd "photos are up" I thought you meant for your book! I went to the thread for the book and didn't see any photos and was pretty confused...no it's all coming together!

Cheers.

This COIN IS NOW UP FOR AUCTION
