inb4: 45 BTC for 10 BTC?!? bwahahahhahhaha!  [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=331372.0] <---- Offers have been seen for 40BTC.... I guess it's no laughing matter....

But, on a more serious note:  Anduck is a very trusted trader.

It does seem ridiculous but most good Casascius coins are going for 3-4x premium. This is a beautiful coin and very practical for storing coins safely without a computer.

I really like the coin but I can't afford it. Good luck selling it though, I'm sure you'll find a buyer.

Dropped the price to 35 BTC.

Bumb! You can also offer me via PM.

Who did you sell this to? I want it.  And don't tell me goat.

PM'd you.

12.5

No you are not getting that coin it is mine.  Anduck please wait until I get on a PC and meet you in IRC.  Stuck on the phone for a few hours.

take a chill pill, i already have a couple of these.

OP, if a deal falls thru, PM me.

Sorry, 12.5 is too low.

Yeah that was an insult. You have one hell of a coin buddy. :)

12.5 wasn't spectacular, but I mean THIRTYFIFE?

these go for 13k on eBay, which is known to be exaggerated, so 15 MIGHT be an acceptable price (if on the high end).

not saying someone shouldn't buy this for 35, but you'd have to pity the fool...

Link please.. I couldn't find any of this coin for sale at ebay.

Can't afford it but it looks stunning!

Good luck!

eBay aside, it looks like goat sold one with the hand-painted gold BTC for "close to" his buy it now price of 30 BTC

I have a couple of these. If I can get 25BTC for each, I'm selling.

All being silver+gold. I am selling 10BTC silver - without the golden B.

point conceded - still not sure if its worth that much.

Bump.

still generally interested, but not at that premium.

10.5 BTC

Good luck with your sales!:) Truly a beautiful coin and I hope you get a good price for it!

You can tell your offer, too.

Yeah, lets start bidding and see where we end up.

But for real OP.. You need to take into consideration the btc premium you're asking. It's crazy. Anyone buying this fine coin will have the belief that BTC will be worth 10K + in our lifetime. If you charge 30 btc premium and btc went to 10K then for a seller to sell that coin and make back his money he would need a 300K USD premium over the face value which will never happen.


10.5 is my offer.

i would sell my car to buy this coin for 11BTC. my offer

Can't say never in this case...  Go look up the more desirable/rare numismatic coins and see what premiums they command.  It is not outside the possibility that this coin would command a 300k USB premium.  There are coins of historical significance and rarity that sell for much more that a 300k USB premium.  Here is just one example - http://cointrackers.com/coins/14424/1921-st-gaudens-double-eagle/ (http://cointrackers.com/coins/14424/1921-st-gaudens-double-eagle/)

If BTC goes to the values you indicate, there will be much demand and adoption and the numismatic community will be trying to acquire these historic pieces...

Ok "never" may have been a bad choice of words. I'd like to replace never with "it's highly unlikely"

Thank you

11.1BTC New high bid.

11.5

This is still not an auction. The price is set in the first post but I accept offers too.

Ok so I offer 11.65BTC

No thanks.

Bump!

12BTC

Price lowered to 24.5 BTC.

halve that, and we'll talk^^

12.5BTC

Market will dictate value, of course...but it should probably be noted that the last forum sale of one of these 10BTC Casascius coins was for 19BTC in August.  That coin was however graded MS67.  It may also help to recall that Casascius originally sold these with a ~4BTC premium wholesale.  Highest price paid on the forum according to Chainsaw's Casascius thread was 25BTC.

I would definitely get this graded...offering a MS-67 over a who knows what makes a huge impact on price.

No grading services in my country.

Bump. :)

This collectors item is still for sale.

Christmas is coming. Here's something very rare and very beautiful to be gifted.

didn't bitmarket say he would buy these all day at 25 btc? should be off the market?

Yes, he said he would buy these at 25 btc any day.

So was that just talk?

Beautifull coin, good luck with the sales.

Bitmarket is trying to sell one for 20BTC so I really doubt it. (Has been for sale for a  couple of months now)

Yeah but this was before the BTC explosion. Besides, I have plenty of them now. Not buying anymore 10s. Only interested in 1K gold coins.

If it doesn't sell you aren't losing anything.  Just have patients.  That's what I'm doing. Just sitting on them until things change in a few years.

bump bump! Still for sale.

i bid a bazillion coins

13.75 BTC

15BTC is my best offer!

Oh, just realized that you have not got it graded, no interest then, sorry.

Does anyone know what the latest sale was for one of these via any medium?  Last I can recall was the MS67 purchased by Otoh for 19BTC back in August of 2014...

You do realize that one of these just sold for 20 BTC here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=813238.msg10836893#msg10836893) by bitmarket.io his asking price was 20 BTC and he seemed to be pretty firm on his price. There were also a number of people who were offering several BTC above your offer.

See above. For 20 BTC just today 

I think people that focus on the grades are a bit weird. Not like it really matters. Most of these coins other than the very early brass ones were never circulated and handled like gems. They are all in mint condition unless you handled them like a retard. Besides, people that buy these coins are all over the world.  ANACS is just one in the US that does it. What if someone in Germany had a German grader grade it. or someone in Sweden have it graded. It's just a mess. What matters is that you have the coin. Majority of them other than the early brass are in excellent or mint condition. Stop wasting your time with this graded bullshit.

Personally I would pay more for the 10BTC silver round /w gold B than the solid-silver one. Sure there are less of them but I think the coins with the gold B are much more attractive and desirable. I feel the majority would agree.

Well it is really not expensive to get your coin graded (only ~$21 plus shipping two ways), so for the most part it costs very little to get your coin graded when compared to the cost/value of the coin.

The good thing about buying ungraded coins is the fact that ungraded coins tend to sell for less then graded ones, even less then a MS-64 coin, which from what I can tell is generally the lowest grade that these coins tend to fetch, so if you pay to get an ungraded coin graded and it gets the worse rating that they tend to get then you make a little money, but you have the chance that it will get a higher grade which would result in the market valuing them at higher prices

It's just an offer, there is nothing wrong with offering something, right?

Also I like graded coins as they are authenticated.

Guys be careful. Scammers are at it again:

scammers are unfuckingbelivable.

we need a way to nuke them.

btw i bid a nickel, potato and a copy of windows 98 for the coin

Whoa.

Anyway, the coin price is now increased to 30 BTC.

-A

Dang was just going to offer 25 for it :-\. Maybe next time...

Whoa...I thought 20 BTC was about the max people would pay

Bump!

Would totally buy this for 20BTC  ;D

Will sell for 25 BTC.

Bump!

Wonder if Bitcoin starts to gain traction and lots of new users? It's already doing it though but not in big scale. If/when that happens.. anything can happen. It's a good time to buy this rare piece of Bitcoin history.

Price lowered to 23 BTC.

14.5BTC

I'll do the OP a favor, this offer is insulting. Seriously...you're about halfway there, save up BTC14.5 more and you'll be int he market!

Previous one seen was sold below 19.5btc.

So? Anduck clearly stated that he wants 23BTC. An offer of 14.5BTC is insulting (assuming it was meant as a real offer and not a joke like the posts above), no matter what the previous one sold for. Prices change, markets change.

I know Anduck pretty well...when he says 23BTC he means it. I have been harassing him for years about his coins.  :P

Who's Casascius? Sorry I'm newb to this. Why are they selling for 3-4x premium?

He created a line of coins that was funded by him. As well as the first crypto coins

The coin has been sold.

Doah, willing to share the sale price?

Congrats on the sale, 18 months.. Patient man. I hope you got your price

No, sorry. It was close enough to my asking price, though. The buyer of the coin may disclose the sale price if he wants to.


18 months, yeah! These are not traded too frequently.
