The silver is ungraded, but other coins from the same roll have received MS67; if you were to send the silver for grading, it should fetch at least an MS67 grade.

Transfer of PGP custody chain on the silver coin is available for an additional fee, PM for details.

Starting bid: 5 BTC

Whoops, guess 0.05 is the bid increment instead of 0.1 :/

I don't see any minimum bidding increment in the OP nor anywhere else in the thread, so I assumed it would be something along the lines of .01BTC

May I ask what is this about? When there's "1 BTC" tag does it mean that 1 BTC can be claimed from some codes on the coin, or is it just an art piece? Thanks.

Yes, each of these coins has a private key behind the sticker that you can redeem for 1 BTC each.  And yes, it is art.

If you plan on bidding.....please dont redeem these, at this point they are more art than cold storage.

I don't want to redeem it, I just asked because I watched so many auctions like this and I thought if the coin has any value that can be claimed without selling it to other people, if course it's not worth it to claim 2 BTC from these coins if they are in an auction for 5 BTC+

You pretty much have 2 options:

Keep them (because cas coins are awsome)
Hold thinking the value of the coins will go up and then sell them higher

They are the first of their kind and a true artpiece/collectable.

I forgot to add end-time-extension info in the OP, so this auction is vulnerable to sniping.

If the current high bidder (Panthers52) agrees, bids placed within the last 15 minutes of the auction will increase the auction end time to (bid time + 15 minutes).

If the current high bidder disagrees, I'll ask again if/when Panthers52 gets outbid ;)

Great!

All bids that take place within the last 15 minutes of the auction will reset the auction end time to (bid time + 15 minutes)
