Title: Casascius Silver 1BTC FIRST-OWNER PGP DOCS -- RESERVE AUCTION -- ADVANCE NOTICE Post by: nubbins on October 17, 2017, 01:14:07 PM Hi folks
I am planning to offload a coin via reserve auction. The auction will likely run for the entire month of November. Why am I telling you about it now? Because I want to give everyone *plenty* of warning, and make sure nobody misses out. WHY A RESERVE AUCTION? Because I'd like to reserve the right to keep the coin if I'm not happy with the top bid. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT BIDS LOWER THAN RESERVE WILL BE REJECTED. IT MEANS THEY WILL BE ACCEPTED OR DECLINED AT MY DISCRETION. More details and stuff to come in a couple weeks. Not many first-owner coins with PGP docs floating around, so this might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the collector who has it all!

Interesting.

Interesting. Yes, I have never graded a coin. ANACS grades cannot be trusted anyway. Serious purchasers know how to grade a coin by eye. When will this auction happen? Any set date? 00:00 UTC, November 1, 2017. Title: Re: Casascius Silver 1BTC FIRST-OWNER PGP DOCS -- RESERVE AUCTION -- ADVANCE NOTICE Post by: greenplastic on October 17, 2017, 01:30:50 PM [WTS]**

"Although GMT and UTC share the same current time in practice, there is a basic difference between the two: GMT is a time zone officially used in some European and African countries. The time can be displayed using both the 24-hour format (0 - 24) or the 12-hour format (1 - 12 am/pm). "UTC is not a time zone, but a time standard that is the basis for civil time and time zones worldwide. This means that no country or territory officially uses UTC as a local time." Huh. TIL. 00:00 GMT, UTC±00:00 :D Title: Re: Casascius Silver 1BTC FIRST-OWNER PGP DOCS -- RESERVE AUCTION -- ADVANCE NOTICE Post by: nubbins on November 06, 2017, 11:26:25 AM Nov 1 came and went. I may just sit on the coin. Not very fussy on sticking something so valuable in the mail. If anyone is interested in making a trip to the beautiful island of Newfoundland, you might be able to convince me to sell it to you in person :-*
