Title: [WTS] 2012 Casascius 10 BTC Silver w/ Gold B (GILT) - Macro Pics - REDUCED PRICE Post by: therealNano on June 13, 2017, 06:45:29 PM Hello Casascius Collectors! I have a 2012 Casascius 10 BTC Silver w/ Gold B for sale. I will pay for USPS Registered Mail shipping insured for $50,000. If you'd like international shipping, contact me. I am also open to meet up in person. I am located in the Midwest. REDUCED 17BTC. I am selling it to get some spendable BTC to diversify across different collectibles. Recently, I have been very interested in Kialara. I am open for possible trades involving other Casascius coins, Kialara, or other collectibles. ---- Here are pictures of the lovely coin. https://i.imgur.com/wngaISt.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/w4dBWcY.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/Bv1UraD.jpg https://i.imgur.com/2mboPqm.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/0sNREt6.jpg If you'd like to see anymore pic's, just ask :) --- Although my activity account and trust on BitcoinTalk is not impressive, I am a long time member on #bitcoin-otc (http://). Goes without saying, but, Blazed or other another escrow is a must. Feel free to post offers here or PM me. Thanks for looking!!

Post by: Zepher on June 15, 2017, 12:47:56 AM 14.1 I have personally offered more than this for this coin and been turned down. The Casascius market may not be what it was a while ago, but this particular coin still holds its premium well. I suspect it always will to a degree irrelevant of $/BTC. You will need to do better than that. Title: Re: [WTS] 2012 Casascius 10 BTC Silver w/ Gold B (GILT) - Great Macro Pics - RARE!

I am not sure how much to quote unless I know what's the highest bit though. I have received multiple offers which include a variety of collectors pieces + BTC totaling ~16-17BTC but I am not interested in certain collectibles that were offered. I have received multiple straight 15BTC offers, but have held off. I have received one offer north of 15BTC but it's from a newbie who I am hesitant to dealing with.

Post by: hybridsole on June 17, 2017, 12:51:21 AM I don't have an offer, but I just want to say how beautiful this coin is. It's pretty clear you've taken excellent care of it. I really enjoy seeing the various offers made by members here and through PM, because it shows how valuable this coin is to the overall collector market. In fact, I'd go as far to say there aren't any collectibles that would command this much of a premium (in the $2K/bitcoin era).

The 25 btc coin doesn't have a very nice value as it was never handled properly and it seems the value of silver coins is pretty more than brass. AFAIK, 2 x 10 btc silver w/gold cas would go for more than 1 x 25 btc cas coin Title: Re: [WTS] 2012 Casascius 10 BTC Silver w/ Gold B (GILT) - Great Macro Pics - RARE!

Not a large market. maybe, not definitely true though! many big players around here. Most in shape of newbie's which we fail to recognize. The 25 btc just doesn't have high demand. this 10 btc silver on other hand is pretty shiny and sexy.

I'm curious to what exactly the appeal of this coin is.. Perhaps as an investment or mostly for the novelty of having a collectible? Not sure how it functions since it doesn't seem like it's a btc wallet with 10btc in it Title: Re: [WTS] 2012 Casascius 10 BTC Silver w/ Gold B (GILT) - Macro Pics - REDUCED PRICE Post by: OneNattyLitecoin on July 11, 2017, 05:47:52 PM I am the new owner final price was 16.25 BTC ;D Baller.

I'm curious to what exactly the appeal of this coin is.. Perhaps as an investment or mostly for the novelty of having a collectible? Not sure how it functions since it doesn't seem like it's a btc wallet with 10btc in it It is a BTC address that contains 10BTC. Underneath the hologram, on the back of the coin, is a private key to the address. The additional value comes from the coin being a very rare collectible.

I understand if it were to receive an MS70, but I feel as though anything under MS68 might bring the value down. It would be a huge risk.

The bigger risk is sending a $40k coin to the post office. Aside from that, if it comes back lower than 67, it can always be removed 😬 I get nervous sending coins there and back worth way less. The real problem is that you can send it in insured and registered, however, ANACS only lets you declare a max value of $100 on the return insurance for crypto coins... Granted, it's usually ups restricted delivery for me, but I have e seen them use FedEx once the first time I sent coins a year or two ago, but have never had any issues really ever.

Btw what a freaking great coin- congrats on the sale and buy guys!

Sending insured registered mail via USPS is fairly safe USPS. They have to keep a documented, unbroken chain of custody for each registered package, as well as transporting it in a special locked box. Sure, the postal carrier can just steal it, but thats what the insurance is for. I've never had an issue and have shipped many high priced items throughout the years.

Registered insured USPS is great and covers up to 50Kusd, or maybe more.. Issue is that ANACS does not insure your return shipment for the full amount. Max 100usd per coin. So a 30Kusd+ 10BTC coin submitted for grading? Worth 100usd on the way back to you. Granted very unlikely anything will happen, but if anything does, who's fucked? ANACS? Nope. You! I sent a few 10BTC coins in back when BTC was under 500usd... but these days I probably would not. Much rather wait for ANACS to appear locally at a coin show instead (they tour a lot). Have them grade and slab on-site.

I looked up how much it costs to be a member of NGC grading and my dear god..I said no thanks quickly (it's too bad NGC doesn't grade crypto's, IMO their slabs are a 1000x better) so with that said with ANACS providing grading services on the go, are you able to get a single coins graded w/out signing a membership with them and what not? Very curious (curious if NGC does this too).

Very curious (curious if NGC does this too). ANACS does insure US and foreign minted coins higher than $100... I think the max is around 25k? Take a look at their submission form. The 100usd limit is only for crypto coins. Your best bet for getting one or two coins graded by NGC or PCGS is to go thru a local coin shop. Nearly all of them have memberships and some even do the paperwork for you. ANACS is single-submission based, anyone can send coins in.

I sent a few 10BTC coins in back when BTC was under 500usd... but these days I probably would not. Much rather wait for ANACS to appear locally at a coin show instead (they tour a lot). Have them grade and slab on-site. Very interesting info! I did not know that ANACS did not cover the return. How the f is that even possible for a coin grading company to survive while sending millions of dollars worth of coins back to customers unprotected?! I would do the exact same and just go to a show. I looked up how much it costs to be a member of NGC grading and my dear god..I said no thanks quickly (it's too bad NGC doesn't grade crypto's, IMO their slabs are a 1000x better) so with that said with ANACS providing grading services on the go, are you able to get a single coins graded w/out signing a membership with them and what not? Very curious (curious if NGC does this too). ANACS does insure US and foreign minted coins higher than $100... I think the max is around 25k? Take a look at their submission form. The 100usd limit is only for crypto coins. Your best bet for getting one or two coins graded by NGC or PCGS is to go thru a local coin shop. Nearly all of them have memberships and some even do the paperwork for you. ANACS is single-submission based, anyone can send coins in. Oh ok that makes much more sense. Great info thank you! I wonder if ANACS will ever grade Kialara's? If I am not mistaken I'm almost positive I've seen a finite by design 5" bar graded by them before. I get that it's much skinnier and all but there's no reason you can't make a larger slab (actually maybe too expensive to do so w/so few requests? ) Title: Re: [WTS] 2012 Casascius 10 BTC Silver w/ Gold B (GILT) - Macro Pics - REDUCED PRICE Post by: OneNattyLitecoin on July 15, 2017, 03:32:32 PM Quote from: minerjones While I think it may be some time before we see any bar gradings, ANACS is now grading 5oz coins... Sweet, this is new. No one was grading 5 oz coins when the Goddess coins were released in March / April! Not sure if antiquiquing effects the grade, however. Title: Re: [WTS] 2012 Casascius 10 BTC Silver w/ Gold B (GILT) - Macro Pics - REDUCED PRICE Post by: ChiBitCTy on July 15, 2017, 09:33:11 PM I often see people here very worried about mailing stuff via USPS/FEDEX etc and I just wanted to add I've sent several packages that resemble a similiar amount of money, had them fully insured, signature guarantee required etc. When buying bullion the only way to go is by doing so online and the amount that is mailed daily has got to be insane. Btw what a freaking great coin- congrats on the sale and buy guys! Had only Mike Caldwell been a neighbor of mine a few years back :D Totally agreed. Sending insured registered mail via USPS is fairly safe USPS. They have to keep a documented, unbroken chain of custody for each registered package, as well as transporting it in a special locked box. Sure, the postal carrier can just steal it, but thats what the insurance is for. I've never had an issue and have shipped many high priced items throughout the years. Yea sending to ANACS is easy.

Specifically the "America the Beautiful" quarter series. ANACS has made some new 5oz slabs for them... so I would imagine that we can now get larger coins graded :D ..... fingers crossed. ;) I think the Finite by Design bar you saw slabbed up was one that BG4 had made. http://www.anacs.com/contentPages/GSAand5oz.aspx http://www.anacs.com/images/content/LargeHolder.jpg How I love me some 5 oz ATB's (esp Hawaii and Puerto Rico...however minus this year- what terrible designs besides 1 or 2 of them ..IMO. This sucks because the US Mint has clearly lost any clue how to make cool collectors coins w/the right mintage that can appeal to all age groups and now the 5 oz ATB's are about the only things I really care about which I hate). NGC has been grading them for a little while and I prefer their slabs over ANACS any day..but I certainly respect ANACS getting in to the crypto-market for us crypto-heads!! ;D |
