Welcome to the board. Firstly, can you please upload actual photo's of the coins to Imgur along with a handwritten note with your bitcointalk username and the current date, post the links, and we'll upload them for you :)
Please state whether these are funded, and if so, whether Smoothie Funded them, or whether you did ( Buyer Funded ).
You will also need to use an escrow for the sale, there are a few trusted members of the forum that can do this for you, buyer usually pays the fee.
Please state the amount you are seeking for your set of coins, and where you are locate for shipping and customs purposes.

Thanks

The pics of his coins on the listing don't show the Buyer-funded lasermark, but I can't verify the full address from the firstbits to really tell for sure. Also, they are black addresses, not green, so they are series 1. -  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1238485.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1238485.0)

That is one very nice set! Number 54. I don't think your asking price is high. Damn, I'm trying NOT to spend anymore right now, I've just bought several coins >:(

I've recently purchased the #20 set at a similar price, so it seems to fit the current range of those.
However, I think you might have better luck at getting this sold by switching to a btc price basis and selling it directly rather than via ebay.

Also, they are black addresses, not green, so they are series 1.
Very low numbers, coming with COA & in the leather case, those are obviously S1 coins, but yes, the black addresses are also one of the key factors when dividing S1 from the S2 green address coins. All S1 coins are funded, those aswell, as shown below.



Those coins carry the same laser markings as mine, just for those wondering (I myself did when purchasing), smoothie seems to have finished the early sets with those markings.
Also, here's the set of addresses:

1BTCnbeQzcYzdaFVmJ1kqE1LH58oE2YgVL (https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/address/1BTCnbeQzcYzdaFVmJ1kqE1LH58oE2YgVL)

1BTCmXLoczC1J4zh8oUQ1PM3JzQ1HeoUtW (https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/address/1BTCmXLoczC1J4zh8oUQ1PM3JzQ1HeoUtW)

Strangely enough, the 0.5 coin seems to have received another transaction of 0.001 (1d200c56245a6f82fcf6aae2f6084f790822ba4a973fe6b0b8f44269f670966c (https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/tx/1d200c56245a6f82fcf6aae2f6084f790822ba4a973fe6b0b8f44269f670966c)).
Funding address comes up in an old discussion here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=282238.0).

I've had dust transactions appear on 2 of my coins, one from 1Enjoy and the other from 1Sochi, both a few thousand satoshi. I'm sure it's happened to a few people, I can remember them spamming dust back in late 2014.

Adding a satoshi or 2 on a funded coin (in this case), so effectively changing the coin (instead of having a 1btc physical with 1 btc funded by the creator) you have a 1btc physical with 1.00000001 btc touched by another person....no one can stop it if the pub key is known.

Indeed. Basically anyone can alter the balances ( obviously only positively, they can't touch what's loaded on the coin ) on your coins bstbrooklyn by sending a very small amount of BTC to the public addresses attached to them. I wouldn't worry about it, you can't do anything about it, and it may well backfire on them later down the line if the price rises astronomically, where that meaningless bit of BTC sent years ago, is now suddenly not so insignificant. All that is obviously pure speculation, nobody knows what is going to happen to bitcoin in the long run.

I thought that at first, but maybe he ordered through the website before the board became known to him. I have ordered a coin via the site and never had any interaction with smoothie here about it at all, everything was done via email communication.

Lastly - did smoothie ever even sell numbered sets, or just auction them like he does nowadays?

thanks - I also have a Cas coin with a dust tx from 1Sochi. Kind of pisses me off, but what can you do? :P

I think he did for a short time, from the website. These are definitely smoothie funded, and they a very nice set at that. I'm half tempted to make an offer for this.

So what's the incentive for someone to give their BTCs away?

Most obviously, advertising. Have a look at the public notes to transactions funding this wallet:
https://blockchain.info/address/1FFirnLctcZxVx5otnLNZ4dDGUkMBM4vNr

Besides that, trolling and for sh*ts and giggles.



These are definitely smoothie funded, and they a very nice set at that.
I don't think there's any unfunded series 1 set, yet alone any un/buyer-funded coin coming with COA.

Basically these addresses spam the network with loads of miniscule amounts of BTC, with 2 separate agendas, firstly some did it in the hope that the people who receive the dust then consolidate the funds into different addresses, thereby linking addresses together and trying to track which addresses own what - but they won't be able to put a name to those funds. Secondly, they use it as a cheap form of advertising. They are paying for information, and marketing.

Yep, it is indeed annoying having that altered balance, I try to take my own advice and not let it bother me. The 1Enjoy address had 'Free, enjoy! :D'  attached, which so far has done its job of winding me up! >:(

Gladly, that stuff isn't that popular recently. If someone was to destroy my halving-funded coins, I would probably be pissed like sh*t.

Agreed, but I still use https://www.blockonomics.co (https://www.blockonomics.co) to monitor most of my coin's addresses.

Is that a big issue if someone randomly sends dust (or more) to a physical bitcoin in terms of its value to collectors?

Yeah it definitely slowed down once it started becoming cost prohibitive to spam thousands of addresses ;D
I would be severely pissed as well. But there's nothing to prevent it from happening. It happened to 2 coins of mine in 2014. Nothing since. I'm sure a large portion of coin collectors have at least one "altered" coin.


Is that a big issue if someone randomly sends dust (or more) to a physical bitcoin in terms of its value to collectors?

That is a question I have been trying to find the answer to myself. I believe it really shouldn't affect the value. Note this is my personal opinion. Take a site such as uberbills for example, where anyone can obtain the full address of coins made by Casascius. Anyone has the ability to send a single satoshi to every address on there, thereby altering all coins.

Now, does this still affect the value? ( None of this has anything to do with collectors having personal preferences that their coins are unaltered, like myself. But ultimately we cannot do anything about it if they are )
