Besides Casascius, Lealana, and Denarium coins, which other crypto collectibles are the most valuable? I'm talking about physical items like bars, coins, and art. Not NFTs which can magically disappear in an instant. It would be good to have an ordered list from the most expensive crypto collectible to the most affordable one. This would be for anyone's reference in case they want to know if the collectible they're holding is worth some serious cash or all the other way around.

Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. :)

Personaly, I love kialara.

Btcc prefork funded items

for me the best are Squirrelbits!!
no doubt!!!

Squirrelbits. One 21 made per drop. Pure art.

+1 for Squirrelbits… rarity and quality are second to none.

I know collectibles can be very subjective , but I believe a lot of folks would go with

But if anyone hasn’t seen this thread by Krogoth - it’s  worth a good scroll  :)

You may well find a few gems in there that you haven’t seen before  :)

Crypto imperator.. been around since 2014 and still active.. low qty releases, aswell some of the first altcoin releases (doge)
In the future the 1btc or even .1 btc might price out most people. CI's coins are the perfect combo of history, low serials, and low denominations which keeps og funded coins available to newcomers

2018 Topps Allen & Ginter #83 Cryptocurrency 4x printing plates (black, cyan, magenta, yellow)

Personally, I really like the OGNASTY coins, especially the gold ones. They are incredible. The difference with the Casacius is that they are limited. I think there are very few of them and it is almost impossible to buy any.

Or the yet to be found silver mini!

So, I assume you mean based on personal valuation?
If not, obviously some of the earliest or 1st edition coins are probably the most valueable (just talking premiums). Cas, Lealana, BTCCs...
Ideally loaded, otherwise they lack an important part of what makes a crypto-collectible exciting (imho).

Personally trust and quality and appearance play the most important role to my evaluation.
I really like CI coins, clean but strong designs (mostly), affordable, low mintages and a reputation reaching back to 2014.
Then some of the Lealanas are just amazing, starting from the 0.1 - 1.0 BTC silver coins (those with gilt look fantastic), but also the XMR set or some of the rare BTC set editions were incredibly artistic in design.
And yes, ofc I really like Moonbits, my favourite is probably the 0.005 BTC titan finish chip - the hologram combined with the dark colouring and a decent loading and low mintage make it a perfect collectible in my eyes.

You mean the long game? Anything prefork on precious metals will be highly sought after.
Most gold pieces have very limited mintages too.

Well here is one of my all-time faves. ;D

The 1000 XMR gold made by luigi in 2015-2016... :o I think only 20 or 30 were ever made but not positive...

100% IMO as well... ;)

Perfect example of a money piece! Very nice piece. Good lord.

Some people collect old silver and gold rounds with bitcoin themes, and low mintage. Historically rare and important coins have been known to fetch multiples of their melt value as high as 30-50x or even higher. I prefer coins that are NOT meant to be "physical bitcoins" because there are separate risks associated with those, and I think the stickers degrade the beauty and longevity of the coin.

Maybe anything that is uber-rare and not necessarily a (loaded) coin....
Items that we have maybe seen only 1 of..  like the Braille Bitcoin Whitepaper book!! 8)

My favorite, too. :)

Regards,
Chris

Wow that is stunning.

The 1000 XMR gold is wow... the  CI 1'000'000 dogecoin is wow as well.

I like the Roman Booteen Bitcoin Coin. Pure art, amazing work and unique (1 of 1).

Yes, one off items would be top of the list surely

What about this legendary coin >

Lesbian Cow gave the correct answer.  ;D

I will add though that, In numismatics, grades count. If a serious population of people start collecting Physical Bitcoins, then I believe high grades of anything in the Encyclopedia, will draw serious premiums. They are not as important right now, but they will matter at some point if all this continues to grow.

Yes, especially for silver, you need to keep them in airtights, in a sealed ziploc, with dessicant. You don't want them tarnishing. Do not touch.

Your Bitcoin Rocket Guy had a little visit with Mr Braille BTC Whitepaper years ago  :D

The 2018 Topps Ginter ERROR Cryptocurency Card, (Glowie too) 25 LTC & 25 BTC V1's, 1 Million Gold Dogecoin...soooo many to pick from.

Those are among the best collectibles in the crypto space. I own the early Squirrelbits (LuckyBlock) coins, and they're truly stunning. High quality craftsmanship, and most of all, limited production quantities. If I only had BTC available when the new editions were released, I would've bought them all. But they sell out so quickly, so I'm usually out of luck. At least, I know the ones I own will become extremely valuable in the future. :)



That is a stunning piece. I never knew a solid gold Monero coin existed until now. Whoever has one, should consider himself lucky. Yet, I've thought the silver Monero coins from Cryptonic and the Monero coins from Lealana were among the most valuable XMR coins within the collection. I wonder how much would a gold coin like this be worth in USD today? ???

Gotta give a shoutout to MrCryptHodl

Thank you a lot buddy ! Really happy to see my name there ! Really, thank you !


To answer the thread's question, there are so many! Squirrelbits, kialara, casascius, CI, BTCC...and so on.

I think the op meant favorite, not most valuable 🤔 otherwise obviously bitbills, funded cas 1000 coins and bars and that king Kamehameha lealana set

Well I would say one of my favorites is the Cold keys halving sets. Cold key is doing some cool things with crypto art and physicals. I was late to the party but I have found myself admiring them the most lately. Squirrelbits, Hodlclub, Alpen, Mybits, PolymerBit and CryptoArt just to name a few of my favorites among the newer creators.

Its so hard to pick a actual favorite.  Like Hookzup1 said its obvious which are the most valuable..

Idk about everyone else but I just want them all lol

I've created a couple of pretty valuable coins in my day.  Without even looking at how much BTC has been accumulated on them, both of these coins should easily fetch over $20,000 even in today's bear market and likely much higher as they are both still accumulating bitcoins on a regular basis from the weekly NastyFans Bitcoin distributions.  With how rare large platinum coins still are in the collector's world and the number of seats attached to this one, the platinum round is really something special that is likely to be worth a great deal in the future.

There are still some Minted Seat rounds available for sale here: https://nastyfans.org/mint

Can you please share a link to a picture with one of these coins? I've never heard of a Squirrelbit

Without a doubt the numismatic community will gravitate towards this space over the years and you're absolutely right about the high premiums w/ higher graded coins. The sheldon grading scale affixes a "market value" to coins essentially. They will gain popularity over the years as crypto becomes more widely understood by younger generations. I can't wait to see where we are at in the next 10, 20, 30 years and so on with this.

These are all examples of Squirrelbits ^^^ In fact, one of those is being auctioned off by Minerjones right now and is set to end in the next couple of days. I love the messages and the artwork on a Squirrelbit coin or TI slab, they're the ultimate conversation piece when displayed. They truly stand out and are so unique. The attention to detail and quality is unmatched and it's apparent that the maker, LiquidOptions, cares about his work. Liquid is the "BTCanksy of BTCitcoin", and like I said earlier... only 21 made per drop. Catch them while you can and bury them away.

Those are really cool collectibles. I wish I could afford one, but the bear market has put me a bit on the tight spot. They are definitely on my wish list of physical crypto coins to buy. What I like the most is their limited mintage numbers and Bitcoin distributions. I think collectibles from Alpencoin, NastyFans (OgNasty), 1HODLCLUB, Casascius, Lealana, and Denariums are the most valuable ones in the crypto space. There are so many unique items that's hard to collect them all. I don't think anyone has ever managed to collect every single crypto collectible yet. But who knows? Maybe I'll become of them if I keep expanding my collection? :D

The Titanium Blocks by BTCC, 25btc, or 12.5btc block rewards in a titanium block. Or Kialara Thuglife $100bill, I think there's only like 7 of these made.

Don't forget the only double-funded BTCC block @ 50BTC  :)
