Title: Crypto coins at currency/numismatic dealers/auctions??
Post by: BTCcollector19 on November 08, 2018, 04:58:59 AM
Hi everyone,

Has anyone ever seen a crypto coin sold at a legit historical currency/numismatic dealer/auction? 

What year do you expect this to happen?  A lot of psychological hurdles need to be overcome beforehand.  I'd guess 2030 at the earliest, but maybe I'm optimistic  ::)

Would be really cool to see this some day.   ;D

For folks who aren't familiar with numismatic dealers, this is a cool sample: http://www.collectorscorner.com/Currency/

How old are the youngest coins usually found at such a dealer?

I set up shop last year at a local coin show.
No sales, but definitely some interested lookers.
Only 1 kid knew what it was at that time.
I imagine if I did it again, might get a better reception....

Cool display minerjones!!

I'd love to see it in person.  If you ever do this again, please consider letting us know.  (If doxing isn't an issue)

Prediction: by 2040 will be an entire event just for crypto coins and collectibles.   :D

minerjones, you know photos of the ky coinz in ANACS slabs gives me seizures, please stop.

I have sold some loaded bitcoin collectibles to a coin dealer in my area.  They are for his personal collection though, he is not selling them in his business.  I interact with several different coin collecting forums and groups and beginning in 2017 a small segment of these groups have begun collecting crypto collectibles.  Other than ebay, I have not seen crypto collectibles auctioned outside of this forum.  I say 20 years from now we will see Casascius Coins at Heritage and the like.

What a nice display @MJ. No sale? - Wow, goes to show we are still so early. Ugh, feels like we are moving in slow-motion sometimes.

@Lesbian Cow: Nice to hear that at least some collector groups are getting interested. :D
