Bitcoin Forum

The subject pretty much says it all, a friend is selling one, I need to make an offer.

Thanks! ;)

silver or brass?

Brass (had no idea there was a silver!  :P)

The yellow book says 1BTC Brass 2013 v2 was 8352 minted so the most prevalent of all the brass 1s. https://coinfirm.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/The-CoinFIRM-Casascius-Guide-v0.11-4.pdf

Search shows none of the 13 v2s in the last 6 months, 1.1 seems like a very good offer to your friend depending in condition.
Rarer Brass 1s have been going for not much more.


someone far more knowledgeable than me will hopefully chime in soon.

Thanks for the guide :)
I think a v1 went for 99k recently on fleabay...

No, no it didn't. See above.

Not a vast amount any more. I've seen even error coins, theoretically the most desired brass coins but not the rarest, only make 1.1 BTC or little more on here.

Search this section for more. I haven't seen any 1 BTC brass coin go for more than 1.2 in recent times.

If your friend goes on Ebay they may achieve much more than coins go for on here. Whether those published prices are successful or don't end in disaster is another matter. They may point to it and demand more from you but good luck if they choose that route.

Dazedfool sell some of his brass coin @1.2BTC each recently.

Chck it here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5174978.0

Those selling <=1.1BTC is at loss considering all the shitcoins inside and the time that the coin being hodl.

EDIT:

He already removed all the price but it's 1.2BTC each by the time I visit it few months ago.

Yes, but for some reason many coin buyers expect sellers to ignore those shitforks and eat the difference. I'm not totally sure why they expect them to do that especially when so many sellers are talking about peeling now.

If you want to preserve what's out there you need to make them square. I have a couple of brasses too. As it stands peeling feels like a better move these days even if it is heresy.

:o :o :-[ :-X :'( :o :o :o

Depends on the quality. Can you post some pictures?

I know.

But I am not a charity. There are security hassles around posting it and market rates equal out about the same as peeling and selling the shitforks these days. There might be a difference of about 0.01-2 which is a price worth paying to reduce the possibility of disaster to zero.

Many collectors here thank those that peel for making what they've returned worth more. But I haven't seen any sign of them being worth any more and the more valuable Bitcoin gets the weedier the BTC premium will be.

I may do the decent thing. I'm doubtful at present.

I have one silver and gold coin bought direct from Casascius a couple of days before he stopped which will stay pure no matter what. The other stuff is fair game.

1.1BTC to 1.2 is the going price. Sad :'(

(I blocked out the code, not sure if the owner wants it out ther - I did verify that it's loaded...)

@coblee auctioned a more rare brass 2011 Casascius 1 BTC Series 2 MS69 for 1.42 on May 27, 2019. An MS68 2011-S2 went for 1.28 same month. I agree the ungraded less rare 2013 would probably auction for maximum 1.1 right now. Always safer to buy a coin that has already been graded if you are not in a rush.

Thanks everyone  ;)
