Hi All,

Picked these up a little while ago and they've been sat around in a deposit box, feel like it's time to sell them - moving in to a new house so all sorts of expenses coming up :)

These were originally sold in large bags directly from the Casascius website, can't remember where I picked them up but got 6-8 originally and these were the best pick of the bunch, gave the others to a friend. Not sure how to value them or how often they come up for sale, so starting with a higher figure but flexible towards pricing. I used to collect quite of lot of similar coins and happen to have 2 small holograms on a strip, no idea of where they were originally used but I'll throw these in for free for anyone who buys two or more. They've always been handled with care while in my possession.

Probably one of the cheapest official Casascius produced items you'll ever be able to own and don't see them all that often around here

Postage will be $15-20 on top to most destinations via tracked and signature required delivery. Can use an escrow if you prefer, at your additional expense.

Looks like those coins were resold by HardBTC.org This was a very early Bitcoin related UK Ltd company owned and operated by David Bailey (not the American Bitcoin guy), from 2012. He was Mike Caldwells' main guy in the UK, back in the day. 

Would like to buy one but curious as to their actual valuation. Maybe @minerjones can chime in?

Fair price would be around $50 each
Those holograms did not come with the coins originally

Thank you - I withdraw my interest - thought these might be some diy holo that mike sent with the blanks

Yup, that's roughly the price I'm looking to get - it's priced higher to accommodate the volatile Bitcoin price at the moment which has been trending up. Considering a lot of them rattled around loosely in bags, these are reasonable quality and possibly deserve a slight premium. It's been a while since I've sold here, but holograms of any kind used to be hard to find, these in particular are a nicely generic "Bitcoin" so it seems like a decent bonus and perfect for a DIY coin build.

Dropped the price again to roughly $45 per piece, take all four for $150. They're in great condition and a perfect entry coin if you're starting out, or help fill out a gap in your collection

I'll take 'em, PM sent

Confirmed sold pending payment.

Got worried there. Not being able to easily shift, the perfect entry level Cas, would not have been a good look....

Are these sold for good now? Maybe not the prettiest among the casascius (lol), but indeed a nice entrypoint.
If there are any still available, please shoot me a message, I'd take them!

I’ll take one if available? Or all if need be

If sold would be interested in buying some of the holos shown for my collection if possible

Sounds like OP got these a while back, which means they are almost assuredly real. Alibaba, of course, sold fakes for some time that look indistinguishable (maybe still do, need to scam hunt on there it’s been a mn).

Woulda been awesome if Casascius had sold me the bag of these he still had listed for sale on his website back in 2015 that I placed an order for (since it was still showing as purchasable) and never heard back. Only $11,000 lost in todays dollars  ::)

(Btw I think I’ve got a spare to give you, shoot me a reminder in a few days)

I gave a couple of these to a friend who has decided to sell them, if anyone else is interested at the same price - drop me a PM or post here. Can get separate photos for them if there is any interest.

Just confirming that the deal has completed, all four coins + holos received as described today.

Not particularly intending to flip these, but if anyone is interested in adding one or two to their collections, feel free to PM me - I'll likely be giving a couple out to friends.

Aww, that would be most generous, ChiBi. If you ever have something going to MJ, maybe you can include it in that parcel.
Feel you on the lost coins there. Better not to think too much about it.
Side question regarding the alibaba-fakes: Ist it still possible to distinguish them for an expert? Maybe weight ora closer look with a lense or even microsope?

If that's the case, glad to take you up on your offer @Fortify and get 2 or 3 of these.
