The bar does have some visible scratches, especially on the left on the backside (left as seen in the pics).
Also included is the paper strip (sent by Casascius to me with the bar) which has the address of the bar.https://anduck.net/files/bitcoin/cas_zerobar/IMG_20200203_024855836.jpg

Otoh, thank you for the list of your current Cas BB.
There were 3 that were previously unaccounted for :D
Have added to the master list.

@otoh: can you please update the statistic MJ provided with how many of these 204 are in the wild and not your vault  ;D

Reference: “One of about 204 non-denominated S2 bars made“

That would now make "One of about 207 non-denominated S2 bars made" :D

@otoh your Cas collection is almost as good as mine  :D. Thanks for sharing all that info, it’s super interesting stuff. I’m going to guess you probably snagged a couple off eBay for pennies as well. When I first started collecting in 2014/15ish before I knew of this place, I knew of Casascius but I had no idea if 2-3k for a bar was a good deal or not, so I passed. Fck me.

I have a bunch of other Casascius & BTCC physicals stashed away in the vaults, I treat them as a sort of cold storage and because I enjoy collecting stuff, I've never bought any on eBay though I do buy plenty of other stuff on there.

I figured you’d know I was just joking.  Im well aware who the whale of all whales is. I’m a true collector same as you. Though for not as long, but that’ goes for everyone else as well I believe. Legend status.

You OG’s always humble me when you chat about collections. When I entered the physical scene (2018ish), lot of the truly epic things were already out of reach for me financially (25 btc loadeds and such). Kudos to you guys for recognizing the early opportunities and jumping on them.
