Title: Market check on high value Cas coins - 10btc All Silver and 25btc Post by: protonewb on June 01, 2019, 07:49:02 PM Hi all,
Been out of the game for a while and just wanted some input on current prices. Not looking for formal bids just a general range/market overview. Scrolled through some pages and haven't seen anything recent, curious if there is still a decent premium for these or basically spot + forks. These coins (10btc All Silver and 25btc) are direct from Mike with funding emails, perfect shape, funded, and never out of original containers. Will provide pics/details if I decide to sell anytime soon, otherwise I will check back in a few years - thanks for the help!

Unfortunately I would advise peeling the 25 if you want to move from btc to fiat with those funds. The 25's have never commanded much more than 29 so it makes sense to peel and redeem all the shitforks.

That is a great thread you linked but I don't see any recent sales of these.
I know the Silver 10 is much more rare so that makes sense. I'd be looking for ~15 and 27.5ish and would rather not deal with all the forks plus I think it would be a shame to peel the 25, it is a work of art, really, and would prefer it go to another collector. Appreciate everyone's input, thank you!

Appreciate everyone's input, thank you! Are your coins rated? If so, I'd potentially be interested. Shoot me a PM.

Hi there, Shiny! Checking back in after a few years does not sound like a good plan considering bitcoin’s tendency to increase against the dollar. It gets harder and harder to sell, you already see that trend with the bitnickels (5btc) and even the singles. Same argument goes in case you like to maximize the number of bitcoins you receive. So I would say: auction time :) Title: Re: Market check on high value Cas coins - 10btc All Silver and 25btc Post by: ChiBitCTy on June 03, 2019, 06:38:29 PM Hi all, [...] otherwise I will check back in a few years - thanks for the help!

So I would say: auction time :) OP stated they're not necessarily looking to sell, nor do we know for sure that BTC will increase vs the dollar over the next couple years (though most of us would like to say so/believe so).

So I would say: auction time :) It gets harder and harder to sell....until suddenly when it is super easy to sell. Case in point: take some of the most famous artists as an example. $15,000 Basquiat in 1983 selling for ~$30 million in 2018. No one wanted Basquiat in 1983, but times have changed. I agree that, in general, as Bitcoin rises against the dollar, the BTC value of collectibles including Casascius tends to fall (in other words, Bitcoin appreciates faster than the collectible premium does). However, certain collectibles like Casascius could eventually become seen as a rare piece of history and art, and might eventually outpace Bitcoin's growth. In short, my opinion is that now is not necessarily the time to auction. In 10-30 years, Casascius will have much greater appreciation in a much larger market. Not to mention the # of Casascius coins that will be peeled in that time / lost / etc. Title: Re: Market check on high value Cas coins - 10btc All Silver and 25btc Post by: dolphriends on June 04, 2019, 03:22:40 AM Hi all, [...] otherwise I will check back in a few years - thanks for the help!
