Title: [WTS] Casascius 1 BTC Brass Coin Series-1 (2011) for 1.3 BTC
Post by: wladston on October 30, 2016, 08:18:55 PM
I'm selling a Casascius 1 BTC Brass Coin, Series-1 (2011), ungraded. I bought this coin myself from Mike. It's uncirculated. In 2012/2013 I used these coins in travels/talks to showcase bitcoin, that's why it's a bit worn.

The coin was loaded with 1 BTC by Mike himself, and is untampered.

The coin is located in Brazil. Can trade in place if buyer is willing to meet here. Can use mutually trusted escrow.

I'm asking for BTC 2.5 + shipping costs. The coin will be sold at that price, or to the person who makes the best offer.

It seems like the public interest for this is at an all-time-low, I'll probably have to wait until the next bull run lol

If you're interested, you can send me offers and I'll PM in case I decide to lower the price again.

The problem isn't in interest, the problem lies with the asking price and the condition.

Hm, thanks for the help. The coin was never subjected to any chemical element or humidity, so it should be easy to clean the stains in the brass for a brand new polish state. I'll try to find a coin specialist in my town who can help me with the task.

I'll do it with a coin I already peeled first, just to be sure it's safe :)

I'm no expert in this matter compared to some dedicated coin collectors here, but I was about to say the same as wttbs. I don't think I've heard of a case where coin cleaning ended up well. The best that you could do is adjust the price to fit the market more and it should sell. I don't remember a recent sale of this coin thus couldn't give you a reference pricing but I would not pay 1.5 BTC for it.

Pretty perfect IMO. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5024215.msg45366223#msg45366223
