Title: SOLD: 2013 Casascius 1BTC silver/Gilt coin (FUNDED) - only one owner
Post by: klondike_bar on October 05, 2017, 07:46:00 PM
SOLDUp for sale is another gorgeous silver/gilt coin from my collection.

Its a 2013 gilded silver coin, one of 700 made (1Ag6 was actually the last series AFAIK), and in excellent condition. I was the first and only owner of the coin, and moved it directly into an airtite capsule using lab-grade nitrile gloves the day it arrived.

Ive attached images and a gif of the coin below, with multiple angles to demonstrate just how pristine it is. The coins been in the same airtite, locked in a safe, untouched for almost 4 years now. Any smudges or scratches are just the outside of the airtite,  as you can tell by comparing different angles of the coin

Im looking for 2.25 2.15  1.95 BTC

Would you have offered more if it is graded?

From past sales experience im pretty sure my current asking price is in the sweetspot based on the quality of the coin and the fact im patient.

I'll absolutely not accept anything <2BTC btw, so biding 1.5btc or 1.7btc wont suffice ;)

pushed to the top with a bit of a price drop. remember that this is pre--fork(s), so theres actually about 1+0.15+0.01 = 1.16BTC under the hologram

It's nice to say that but the Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Gold values can't be recovered without breaking the hologram... so it's not a viable value that can be added to this coin.

That said, you absolutely should not accept anything under 2BTC for this coin.

Trading has gotten thin this year with the bitcoin valuation growth. Once the price settles I believe we'll see trading of these coins return to 2016 levels of activity.

Good luck!

I'm not sure I agree with this.  Any forked coins as well as the initial Bitcoin can't be recovered without breaking the hologram.   At the end of the day the coin still holds the value of all the assets that the private key has the power to move, so I think its very relative.

That's fair, but now begs the question, why isn't the market recognizing that value in sale prices? The ultimate test of what holds value and by how much is the existence of a buyer to pay for such value. In the words of the Talking Heads I believe we're all....still waiting.

This bid shouldn't dignify a response. The OP has already been offered BTC1.7 and declined it!

I understand the premium (in btc) might take a bit of a hit from the USD increase, hence the price dropping to try and find the market.

Seems like the sweetspot is in the 1.7-2.0 range but im not in any great rush to sell the coin, i just want to add a bit of liquid BTC instead of having too much of my portfolio in collectible coins. I will probably continue to reduce the price slowly looking for interest, and maybe even put it up to auction if its not sold by christmas.

PS: a few interested buyers have asked for better/uncapsuled photos. The airtite has a lot of surface scuffs that dont exist on the coin below, so i will try to do something about that over the weekend. I can assure the coin is in great condition, and can even offer another coin from the same roll for sale if theres a specific detail you do/dont want to see.

A big issue is my Galaxy S5 sucks at closeups, so i might look at other options to photograph it better (on a scanner bed, renting a DSLR, etc?)


Im happy to respond here or by PM to any bids or questions. As previously mentioned, Id love to do an exchange in person within the Toronto area.

Eh, that was when BTC was ~6000.   So in USD premium terms my bid was higher! :)

^Thats true, and it definitely affects the price when you consider these were selling commonly for 3-4BTC  approx 2yrs back.

However, theres a pretty small marketplace of these coins, and only 700 in existence. I like to think that if im stubborn for long enough, someone will want it badly enough to agree on my asking price.

Good thing that you're not in a big rush to sell the coin, because you will have it quite awhile asking what you are asking for it, really happy that you like it so much. ;D Enjoy dude!!!

UPDATE:

I just wasnt satisfied by the previous airtite and my mediocre photo skills so i took the time to transfer to a new/better airtite slab and take some exposed photographs in the process.

Newly-purchased lambo for scale.
