Minerjones told me he would be sad to know #1 would be redeemed, so I accepted to sell it instead of opening it. You can thank him.

Let me know if you have any questions.

EDIT: I'm the original owner of these coins. Bought them straight from Casascius on 03/2012.

@coblee : I used your post as model, thanks :) and edit because I forgot to change your links for 25 BTC coin

Beautiful coins, nice job taking care of them! One mistake is I believe you're selling a "5" BTC Casascius, not a "25" as listed. Good luck w/your auction.  :)


Edit- that "naked" Casascius is called a "Demo", sure wish you had kept the holo   :'(

Sorry I forgot to change links from post :P Fixed now :)

Lot #2. 0.1BTC

I’d love to know how you calculated the value “with forks.”  You are off by a decimal point by my calculations.  Good luck with your sale.

I added 5% for bitcoin cash, and rounded it up from 1.6989 to 1.7. maybe I'm a bit off, but auction process will do its job...

Well I think he looked up the bitcoin address as noted here:

1PnGtewsTruFuPkQsuFLDs3Yz35Sooq4RF

And it's loaded with the initial 1 btc and than another 0.61ish btc. So 1.61 btc I think a starting bid of 1.7 btc when a coin is loaded with 1.61 btc is pretty close

Was curious about the symbol and loading of this coin.

Golden ratio looked good for a golden coin :)  (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio)

I got the question on PM, I answer here : The 25BTC golden-plated coin was sold to me as it is now : clean with no Holo. It would have been great to have it loaded, but I think I would have done like this guy : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2758864.20

edit :

Got another question :

> Hey there, So I am interested in the coin you just put up for auction.  What is the story? Did you over fund it or did Mike?

I did over fund it for fun. Golden ratio on something I thought could replace real gold...

Very nice coins and I like the golden ratio too. :)
However, when it comes to collectibles, even more so with casascius coins, overfunding it may depreciate it's premium value.
Simply because the coin is not in it's original state, the state it was in when it left Mike.  :-\

I didn’t realize it was over funded..... my bad, I should’ve checked.  TBH, it would have been better if you had missed a decimal place.  You may have a difficult time selling this.  Good luck.

Edit:
The coins are in great shape however..... watching the 25 :D
