Title: Which Casascius coin is more valuable? Full silver or silver/gold
Post by: lenkug on February 24, 2014, 06:58:32 PM
Casascius minted much less 2013 1btc Silvers with the gold B and rim.
But, the 2013 1btc full Silvers had an initial higher BTC price to buy from Casascius. This was due to Mike dropping the premium as the price of BTC rose.

So what do you think?
Which coin is more valuable?

People seem to like the gold Bs more, they are more rare, and original sale price doesn;t have that much bearing any more on resale price - though it has some. I think the Gold B coins are worth more.

I think the gold rim ones will ultimately be worth more. The memory of the initial price discrepancy will be around for a while, which will tend to equilibrium the rarity difference in the short-term. But years down the road, rarity should be the dominant factor since the coins are so similar.
