Title: Casascius coins for sale - shipping from Canada
Post by: nubbins on December 31, 2013, 04:28:48 PM
I've got some Casascius coins that I'd like to sell.

(10 7 3 1) 2013 1 BTC Silver series-3 hologram (1Ag1) - 2.75 BTC
(1) 2013 1 BTC Silver+Gold series-3 hologram - 2.25 BTC
(20 19) 2013 0.5 BTC Brass series-2 hologram - 0.9 BTC
( 4 3  2) 2013 0.5 BTC Silver series-2 hologram (only 45 made) - 7.5 BTC
(2) 2013 1 BTC Brass series-3 hologram - 1.5 BTC
(1) 2011 1 BTC Brass series-1 hologram - 4.5 BTC

Prices are negotiable if you purchase more than one coin! The silver coins come in air-tite cases; the brass coins will be wrapped in 100% cotton acid-free art paper.

Shipping from Canada. I've sold coins on the forums here before, and my packaging is very secure and discreet. All customs forms list contents as "collectible token" with a stated value / insurance coverage of your choice.

Hey folks, thanks for the interest. I'll take some pictures later today; the coins are in a safety deposit box at the bank.

I'll accept escrow from trusted providers, at the buyer's expense. For purchasers of the silver coins, I have a pgp-signed document from Casascius stating that I'm the original owner; I can sign a similar document for buyers in order to extend the chain of custody to you.

These coins are hard to take pictures of. :)

1 BTC silvers are all from the first-funded batch, so they have the desirable 1Ag1 prefix:

0.5 BTC silvers are the very rare ones with the series 2 hologram. There were only 45 of these ever made. Unlike the series 3 silvers, these ones don't follow a numbering scheme beyond "1Ag" (note in the picture below, there's a 1Agv and a 1Ag8). If you'd prefer a capital/lower-case letter or a number after the 1Ag, I can try to entertain specific requests.

I neglected to take a picture of the brass coins, but they've never been touched bare-handed. Several of them are in these cardboard-and-plastic holders pictured below, and others are just loose (but will be shipped in acid-free cotton paper pouches).

would you entertain a (local?) trade:

MY 1oz Silver w/ gold accents 1BTC 2013 coin (only 700 made) for YOUR 2x 0.5BTC silvers with the 2nd gen hologram.

I am located in downtown Toronto, just west of Lansdowne. Shipping (Xpresspost) is fine too.

alternatively, I would entertain 1 of the 0.5BTC silvers and 1 of the 0.5BTC brass

I'd be willing to trade a 0.5 brass and a series-3 0.5 silver (I only have one) for your 1 BTC silver+gold, but not a series-2 0.5 silver -- they're much too rare for that trade :)

For reference, the lowest and highest prices I've gotten for the series-2 0.5 silvers are 1.5 BTC (first sale) and 5.5 BTC (most recent sale), respectively. Feel free to counter, though :)

Are those the gold and silver?  UberBills says that the ones you pictured are.  If so, I'll take one.

UberBills is incorrectly identifying *ALL* 1 BTC silvers as being gold-plated. These ones are silver-only, first-funded batch. :)

As I've discussed elsewhere, I bump up the price on my remaining 0.5btc silvers every time I sell one, both to reflect my dwindling supply and so as not to undercut purchasers who might wish to resell.

The most recent sale was for 6btc, as verified by the escrow agent over in Chainsaw's thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=214589.msg5698144#msg5698144 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=214589.msg5698144#msg5698144)
