Title: Buying Cass coins with history
Post by: BTCcollector19 on October 12, 2018, 09:31:23 PM
Hi,

I'm looking to buy some Casascius coins that have documented history.  Does anyone have any advice on how to find these?  I'm concerned about forgeries, especially after hyperbitcoinization :)

Thanks in advance for any advice.

ps - really fun being back on bitcointalk.  last time I was here was 2013, to-the-moon-guy was posting frequently and someone was organizing a big party for when BTC hit $1k  :)

tothemoonguy was on reddit not here, no?

Welcome back either way.  Best suggestion I can give you is to buy from reputable sellers and use escrow.  In that regard, pretty much the same as back in 2013 though the values in USD are higher.

I have a few peeled coins that Charlie Shrem sent me. Also, any coin that is actually the one pictured in the encyclopedia would have a cool history in a sense.

Hi.

All the coins I have for sale have a known history, and in some cases documented. My sales thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1460749.0

Thanks Ms. Bovine.  I heard from a source on Twitter that minerjones is solid for escrow.  Seems to be a preference from the posts I've been reading.

Minerjones - I'm not necessarily looking for celebrity history.  I'm more looking for the best-practices to figure out if the Cass coin is authentic.   
 Sounds like pgp documentation, chain of custody may be it.  I understand that many of these were purchased anonymously and thus documentation can be hard to come by... 

I want loaded coins, nothing peeled.

Thanks

Are you looking for more "celebrity" documented history, like one owned by Charlie Shrem or someone similar?
or
Are you looking for something like what wheelz said, a coin that comes with pgp documentation, chain of custody, etc?

Thanks Aduck.

I've been trying to respond to everyone who replied so helpfully, but the Forum is limiting me to one reply per 5+ minutes and is super buggy... argh...

thanks krogothmanhattan.  I saw the pinned warnings at the top of the forum sub-reddit.  very helpful.  the listings on ebay are super sketch.

by the way, ok if I pay for Cass coins with Tether?  (JOKING!)
