Title: [WTS] 2011 Casascius Series 1 (Error Coin) Post by: BitBank on May 08, 2017, 06:43:37 AM Coin was acquired back in 2012 at porcfest. It was actually exchanged for a hamburger. It's been sitting in a drawer ever since.
Looking to get 1.5 btc for it. Shipping: US shipping is included. Buyer pays international shipping. Escrow welcome, but fees must be paid by the buyer. https://casascius.uberbills.com/?address=1AExVUznhdMHLSj3AHwedYvP7cMrfH8pQf https://scontent.fzty1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/18342650_10102463724702884_2964545226232984957_n.jpg?oh=a4074ce59f43f550eb121729653915f2&oe=5985AD95 https://scontent.fzty1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/18301233_10102463724697894_4378375782077049971_n.jpg?oh=89288482c5dbca57909840e83d50a60d&oe=59B59B1D Title: Re: [WTS] 2011 Casascius Series 1 (Error Coin) Post by: notserp on May 08, 2017, 06:52:55 AM nice deal you got there for a hamburger lol

Interested! can i get better pictures of the front? also would you be interested in taking 3 hamburgers for it instead of btc ? :P Title: Re: [WTS] 2011 Casascius Series 1 (Error Coin) Post by: HabBear on May 08, 2017, 03:10:25 PM This story is better than the 10,000 bitcoin for 2 large pizzas story from back in 2010. This story is an actual direct exchange of bitcoin for goods received...for the hamburger. The pizza story is really bitcoin payment to another bitcoin enthusiast in return for them ordering a pizza for you...it doesn't represent some unique early, real exchange for goods and services.
The coin looks clean! 1.5 BTC is quite a fair price. Someone should be on this quick!

The coin looks clean! 1.5 BTC is quite a fair price. Someone should be on this quick! It does have a very interesting history indeed. Erik Voorhees used this coin to pay for food at porcfest in 2012. I wasn't selling the food, but the vendor who sold the burger didn't know what to do with the bitcoin, so I gave him $7 for it. The exchange rate on Gox at the time was about 6 change IIRC. Will update if / when it is sold. Title: Re: [WTS] 2011 Casascius Series 1 (Error Coin) Post by: LitcoinCollector on May 08, 2017, 04:38:00 PM Pm sent, I will pay your askingprice of 1,5 btc

Not familiar with physical bitcoins in noticing such things which would be more apparent to most here. Sorry for my ignorance in the matter. But would still like to be in the know cause fiat coins shown error make it more valuable if not for the one for bitcoins.

Yes, it's spelled correctly with the large "casascius" printed on the back, but on the part of the hologram where the word is repeating in the background it's spelled "casacius". Title: Re: [WTS] 2011 Casascius Series 1 (Error Coin) Post by: BitBank on May 08, 2017, 09:16:31 PM I've had 3 offers come in for 1.5. I will propose that first offer of 1.6 will take it. If I don't receive an offer of 1.6 by the end of the day today, it will go to the first 1.5 offer I received, and so on.
A note on the condition - I haven't really tried cleaning / retouching it. There are a few spots on the front of the coin as you can see in the photo, but I figured someone else might be better at cleaning it up than I.

They are also fun for the entire family.

Title: Re: [WTS] 2011 Casascius Series 1 (Error Coin) Post by: dumbchump on May 10, 2017, 12:51:39 AM Looks like it was sold in an eBay auction today for $3k.

Offers here to first bid of 1.5btc. Get several offers, so ups the price to 1.6btc. Posts instead on ebay. Sells for 3000usd within 3 hours of listing. Less 10% ebay and 3% paypal fees, 2610usd. At current exchange rate: ~1.5btc.

He did exactly what he told us he was going to do if he didn't get any serious offers at 1.6btc. Getting fiat from ebay is a much easier transaction that getting bitcoin and having to exchange it. If this guy was selling his coin he likely wanted to divest his bitcoin holdings anyway.

Getting fiat from ebay is a much easier transaction that getting bitcoin and having to exchange it. If this guy was selling his coin he likely wanted to divest his bitcoin holdings anyway. You know, you really come across as a smartass. He said he would come back to the first 1.5 offer here. Ref quote. He didn't. He sold on ebay for less then he would have made here, especially considering the rocketing BTCUSD rate. Further, your assumption that he wanted to "divest his bitcoin holdings" is baseless at best. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. Most of us here buy, sell, and trade physicals without ever touching fiat (beyond paying shipping fees). I've had 3 offers come in for 1.5. I will propose that first offer of 1.6 will take it. If I don't receive an offer of 1.6 by the end of the day today, it will go to the first 1.5 offer I received, and so on.

Title: Re: [WTS] 2011 Casascius Series 1 (Error Coin) Post by: Lesbian Cow on May 11, 2017, 05:34:02 PM I agree with you LitcoinCollector, it is poor form to list a price and then not sell when offered that price.
Shameless plug: I will be auctioning a 2011 Error Coin ANACS MS67 beginning this Sunday, keep an eye out if interested.... I hear you daze, I offered ask price, then he upped his price.

I just sent the 2 x Series 2 I recently purchased in to ANACS today. I am considering selling a 2011 series 2 ANACS MS66 I have in my possession (not sure, may keep it as I really like the low mintage number of the series 2) |
