Title: [SOLD] 2x Lealana Silver 10 Litecoin "Error" Coin 2013
Post by: Yankee (BitInstant) on May 04, 2014, 10:07:55 PM
EDIT: SOLD

These were given to me as a gift, I'm not sure I want to sell them. Bitcoin is cheap right now, so at the right offer I'd take BTC for these.

Two Lealana 10 LTC physical Litecoins  (0.5 Troy ounce of .999 Fine Silver), each with a COA (Certificate of Authenticity) and  a 2-coin blue leatherette presentation case.

Lealana, mint condition, untampered intact hologram.1/2 Troy Oz 999 Fine Silver Loaded with 10 Litecoins and part of a limited batch of 1000 first run coins that have the ERROR in them.

Many people on eBay have gotten these ANACS graded and sold them for 1k+ per coin, (http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=LEALANA+Physical+10+Litecoin&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.XLEALANA++10+Litecoin&_nkw=LEALANA++10+Litecoin&_sacat=0) grading makes the value go up.


About the error...
This first batch as much as I would like to say is indeed without error, there is an error in the coin structure. This was not intentional and in fact I tried to remedy the problem with the mint which turned out not to be possible. The error is that the back of the coin (flat-side) does not have a small impression for the private key to reside resulting in the paper being put flat on the back of the coin and the hologram over it. The private keys will be secure but you will also notice that the hologram will have a circle imprint where the private key circle is when holding the coin at an angle to light. All  subsequent batches of coins will have the private key impression on the back of the silver coin.

I am interested to see how much this would sell for, since I am considering selling mine too. I am trying to get my hands on some casascius coins

I actually just sold this, buyer paid around ~1.7 BTC for both.

I have some spent 1BTC casascius coins if you wanna buy em.

1.7 BTC is less than half of what I bought it for. I'll probably never ROI unless BTC drops sub 100$.

No thanks to the spent ones, I'm looking for a funded 2013 one.  :)

I'm curious, how much does a spent 1 BTC Casascius coin go for?  Assuming in good/mint condition.

And is the hologram still on the coin?

Thanks!

Once the coin is spent the back of the coin doesn't look the same. The hologram looks messed up as do with my coins as well.

Oh man, I thought one could carefully peel the sticker and spend it and make it look like new.  I don't have the BTC to spend on a loaded coin but I would love to have one physical Bitcoin to look at.  Lol, I know that goes against what Bitcoin stands for but I still would love to have one.

Nothing wrong with collecting redeemed coins (imo).
I don't see how his is against what bitcoin stands for.
A redeemed coin has lost its face value, but it still have the value of the metal and a numismatic value, of cause the numismatic value is reduced when the coin is redeemed, but still have some value.

I agree - nothing wrong at all with collecting redeemed coins.

I am tempted to pick up a redeemed 25 BTC coin as I definitely can't afford a funded one right now  ;D

So can anybody tell me what a spent Bitcoin goes for?

Be it a 1 BTC piece of a 25 BTC piece, what can one expect to pay?

Thanks!

Anywhere from .05 to 1BTC

I think miffman is right about the price range (unless it is one of the two redeemed 1000 BTC  ;D  -then would the price be much much higher).

There is definitely a market for redeemed coins, but don't see them up for sale to often, bitguy101 had a graded redeemed 25 BTC for sale lately:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=707825.msg7996406#msg7996406

I recommend to make a thread "[WTB] Redeemed Casascious coin", then will the offers come in (unless you are lucky one of the Grand collectors read this thread).
