EDIT: Decided to redeem the coin; However, will be listing another Casascius coin within the hour (It's in MUCH better condition)

Looking to sell this 2011 1 BTC Casascius hologram error!
Coin is fully funded with 1 BTC + whatever else alt is on it.

Taking everyone's valued concern of the coins condition into thought, I am reducing the buy-it-now price to 1.25BTC (flexible shipping included)

Given previous listings + the alts on it; I'm asking 1.25 BTC
A ~.1 BTC premium is more than reasonable, but am open to offers!

Escrow acceptable from trusted members! Payment can be made and is preferred in BTC
Shipping is very flexible and will be included in the asking price!
Buyer can request what they prefer.

There is some tarnish on the coin in crevices. The coin is solid brass so polishing should take that off.

Tried embedding images the other day with no luck, so if someone could use my links to embed them in this listing, I'd really appreciate it (and I'm sure other potential buyers would as well)  :)

EDIT: Thanks kodiak1120, see below post for embedded photos!

For any questions, please feel free to PM me!

DISCLAIMER:  I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SALE.  I AM JUST HELPING OUT OP BY EMBEDDING HIS PICTURES.

Thanks! Really appreciate that!

You're welcome. 

Just double checked and all 3 are set to public. I saw the first one in your post at first, then just checked and now I see a different one.. weird

EDIT: seem to be working now in your post

It's working now. 

Ouch.
Nice coin, but gosh this one is a bit damaged.  :-\

Is it possible for you to supply pictures with better quality so buyers can evaluate the scratches on the coin and the fading BTC address print on the hologram ?

Unfortunately, but not too horrible. Those two original pictures were compressed.
Please see the two links below! Could you please embed them for other buyers as well?

Thanks yogg!  :)

Anyone interested?
With all the Alts on the coin, a .1 premium is a great price IMO!

Any other questions or private offers; Don't hesitate to send me a PM  :)

What happened to the hologram? Torn?

It's quite strange a few days ago you were asking for help from forum members to prank your friends, now you have a coin with 1 BTC.
How did you get that??

Hologram has  scruff mark; However, all the btc + alt is still on it and redeemable.
Will take more photos of the hologram within the hour!

Edit: better detailed photo of the hologram, the scruff has not compromised the bitcoins funds.

Even with the copper membership, my photos aren't showing.

No the error is in the Casasius instead of Casascius

Your Hologam has a hole in it..torn? That's not an error..thats damage on the hologram

"Hologram is faded due to the error on the 2011 Casascius coins"-  Nope, not true.

I was referring to the fading reference code not the private key on the inside

Man... are you trying to pull a scam? You clearly don't know wtf you speak of. :P

That's not a Casascius error..that is just plain wear and tear...no coins came out like that

I will take some more pictures of the hologram within the hour to clear up any questions and/or worries!

Why would I be trying to scam anyone? Especially if I'm offering a trusted escrow for the process...
I appreciate your strict judgement and your positive reassurance!  :)

Below is a more detailed photo of the hologram.
The scruff that was pointed out earlier, has not compromised the bitcoins funds.

Trying to embed the image isn't working properly even with my Copper Membership.

Price reduction due to everyone's concern of coins condition. Asking for 1.25BTC (shipping included and flexible).
If buyer wishes to use escrow, They pay the fee.
I am open to offers below 1.25BTC ; Please offer them in this thread.

Any further questions; Please PM me  :)

They all need and deserve some love! Even the ugly ones  :D

Appreciate the interest!

The ugly ones are usually better than the pretty ones  ;)

Valid point   :D

Pro tip: never ever clean a coin. You would hurt the value more by doing so. Should have been kept in an air-tite coin capsule from the start. What a shame to see a Casascius this badly worn.

Thanks for the tip; Understood.
I actually have others in an airtight capsule. This one just didn't fair so well.
Actually did not know cleaning a worn coin would diminish value even further, so thanks for that tip!
Thankfully I have not done so yet lol  :)

thats not tarnish, thats corrosion :(

Lol...I think the coins state has been pointed out enough, but yes, it is not in the best shape unfortunately..
It's brass and was not kept in a capsule nor stored properly.
