Series, chain of custody and any other details you can provide would be great as well.

I'll upload some if I can find a decent camera.

How do I find info about the series? It's from year 2013, that's what I know.
Bought from btcstore.eu, a Casascius reseller.

Most likely Series 3 then.  The Series 2 has the holo sticker from the brass .5 coin instead of the newer holo.

Then it is Series 3, indeed.

Guessing it's an S3, but pictures will confirm once you are able to post.  In the interim, this is an S2:

And this is an S3:

Based on where you bought it, then the chain of custody (essentially the coin's physical ownership history) is likely not documented...unless btcstore.eu provided you with a PGP COD certifying their original purchase from Mike as a Casascius reseller.  For future reference this kind of documentation provides security and adds collectible value in some cases.

Standing by to make an offer...

Thanks ducatitalia, it's indeed S3. Let me know if you want pic of the holo side too, though there's not much to see.

I am aware of the chain of custody thingie. BTCstore.eu is ran by the same people who operate Bittiraha.fi (leading bitcoin service provider in Finland) who also operate largest bitcoin ATM network in the Nordics. They're also behind the Denarium physical bitcoins. They can probably ask for the chain of custody from Casascius.

I'd offer 2 btc if you can get a PGP chain of custody, although I doubt you will be able to get one put together at this point.

You rarely see the halfs being sold. Curious to see where this gets to.

The silver market hasn't just picked up, but has sky rocketed. I picked up an ungraded silver half little over a month ago for less.
