Looking to sell some Graded Casascius Coins.

The only payment address is 3HCKpqzFKM8aQhxduuqzeUCrhw75XMBPLm
If someone tells you to send to another address, it is a scam.

Escrow accepted if buyer pays fee.
These ship from the US.  Pricing includes shipping.

.5 BTC Silver Series 3 - 1AgVgmPz MS67 Grade - Highest Known Grade - BTC 2.75
2012 1 BTC MS66 Grade - Price - BTC 3  
2012 1 BTC MS65 Grade - Price - BTC 2.25
2013 1 BTC Brass Ungraded - BTC 1.6

Open to offers on these coins.  Pictures available upon request.

It is a beautiful collection djjacket. I will be following the sale.

I can get some ungraded silver 0.5's to anyone for about 2btc, just so everyone knows :)

One of the 1 BTC coins and the .1 coin have sold.

Would you mind sharing the price the 0.1 coin sold for?  I have several of these I would considering selling, if the price was outrageous enough.  ;)

I'd like to know too. Perhaps I could use it to make an offer to Nasty for one of his :)

I sold one of the graded 1/10 Silver Casascius coins for .75 BTC.  I got them from OgNasty's group buy and my cost before grading was .55 or so I believe  :o

This is such a beautiful collection of coins here! Good luck with your sale!

I recommend Djjacket as honest seller. Service was top notch. Don't miss the chance to get those rare coins that are remaining.  There is no reason to hesitate, I'm happy enough that I made it.

A+ seller.

I have updated the pictures to reflect the current coins left and available.

Wow I really want one of these...

Then should you buy one instead of talking about it ;)
djjacket is a Class A trader.

would you trade a gold b coin for the all silver coin? straight trade. I have too many (can there be such a thing?)

Too many?  Are your Silvers graded?  The Gold B coin is actually  more scarce (700 vs 1300) than the silver ones.  I am really looking to sell these outright at the moment.

True there are less of the Gold BTC, but when sold the all silvers did cost a lot more too.

Dj is there any wiggle room on the 1BTC silver?
There's a 65 on ebay about to go for around 1k
1AgeTZNv for reference

Maybe a little wiggle room on that one.  I do have an ungraded one that I could sell for less.  Don't think it would get an MS65, but it is still pretty and loaded.  ;D

I do think that It isn't the time to sell any coins.

There are not so much buyers now.

Even on eBay sales tend to go lower than retail value of the coin.

I would not sell any coin at a loss, and loss is the retail (not BTC) value.

I have won several recently with 10-15% mark-up (brass), which is even lower Casascius sold them for.

You should wait till the next run-up. When new buyers come, demand decreases supply and increases pricing.

Of course if this is an option for you.


I just really don't think that someone could have too much of these coins;)

I agree holoman - there have been some great buying opportunities on ebay recently if you have the fiat to burn.

1 BTC Gold/Silver 1Ag6DvHx MS65 Grade- Price - 1.1BTC
1 BTC Silver  1Ag1kGst MS65 Grade - Price - 1.1BTC

and I pay the actual shipping.

Deal?

If you accept this offer, Ill bid:

1 BTC Gold/Silver 1Ag6DvHx MS65 Grade- Price - 1.3BTC
1 BTC Silver  1Ag1kGst MS65 Grade - Price - 1.3BTC

I'll bid :

1 BTC Silver  1Ag1kGst MS65 Grade -  1.4 BTC

Well since it looks like I started this little mini-mess I'll add to the chaos...

BTC1.65 for the Silver 1BTC 1Ag1kGst MS65 Grade

1 BTC Gold/Silver 1Ag6DvHx MS65 Grade- Price - 1.5BTC
1 BTC Silver  1Ag1kGst MS65 Grade - Price - 1.5BTC

and I pay the actual shipping.

Deal?

Sorry guys - none of these bids are anywhere close enough to the point where I would be willing to let one go.

Well then, I'm done bidding. My offer will stand for 48 hours in case you change your mind.

I paid more than 1.5 initially for the All Silver coin.

Hi, I would pay 1.8 for each of the 1 btc coins, 3.6 total.  Btc would be to Yankee as soon as we have an agreement.    I would pay shipping and escrow fees with Yankee. 

I just realized that I got scammed.  A user djjackett PM'd me that my offer was accepted and then used a fake Yankee account for the 'escrow'.

I want to jump out a fucking window right now.  I thought I was done with this shit.  Another thousand dollars fucking gone.

I will happily pay double that for these motherfuckers on a stick.

I'm sick to my fucking stomach right now.

LMAO... yeah they tried to scam me too, I just ignored them. Maybe I should have said something earlier but seeing a name like yankie bit1nstant i figured nobody would fall for it.


sorry man

I am a bit surprised about the bidding - I know the prices for physical coins are low right now, but 1.5BTC bid on a 1 BTC Gold/Silver 1Ag6DvHx MS65 Grade is shocking to me.

agreed. They were trading for well over 2 not long ago, ungraded

I've read at least 10 stories like this before. Don't get caught up in the moment. Scammers watch the threads carefully looking for any opportunity that can make them something. Always make sure to double check, I think Yankee may even sign his messages with a PGP key but not sure. Regardless, sorry for the loss, but take it as a lesson and you'll be guaranteed not to make the same mistake again :)

Sorry to hear about this.  If the deal looks too good to be true, it may be a scam.  A buyer also tried to scam me to send the coins with a fake escrow.
Also it is usually advisable to make your offers via PM directly to the user in addition to the thread and be diligent in your vetting of the users.  Good escrow providers will GPG sign their escrow agreements and payment addresses so you can validate that it is actually them and not a fake or hacked forum account.

I think it is more of people looking to lowball offers hoping to find a desperate seller. 


I have a current deal pending escrow on the 1 BTC and .5 BTC Graded silver coins.

Am I doing the escrow?

No - I have arranged escrow through DannyHamilton, but an alter-ego-alt  provided scamming escrow to someone  >:(

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=353011 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=353011)

The Silver 1 BTC and .5 BTC coins have been sold.

What did they go for? What's the market at for these two coins?

Much more than the offers listed in this thread, but a little less than the listed price.   ;D

You've removed most of the list prices (replaced with "Sold"), so it's still a mystery...

You should have written them down :)  I updated the listing with the original list pricing.

I think I remember them being in the 5-6BTC range  ;D

Still have the Gold/Silver Graded coin available forsale.

Updated my inventory - Added a couple of ungraded Silver 1 BTC coins to the list from the 1st Funding batch in August 2013:

http://casascius.wordpress.com/2013/08/07/silver-coins-funded/ (http://casascius.wordpress.com/2013/08/07/silver-coins-funded/)

According to this analysis of funded addresses, it appears that the Gold/Silver 1 BTC coins are more rare than originally communicated.

Only 483 were funded:

http://www.spotcoins.com/bitcoin/casascius (http://www.spotcoins.com/bitcoin/casascius)

Prices lowered on the 2.1 Silver Ungraded coins.

These are still available.  I also have a few loose 2013 brass and .5 brass that I could sell.  If interested I can post pics.

Interested in trades?

I would possibly be interested in trades involving other Casascius Coins.

Just updated the listing with these coins and pictures.

PM me a price for this. Maybe we can work something out. I'm looking at 2.5<

Friday Bump. 

Let me know if anyone wants that 2011 error with cleaned holo sticker.  I am thinking of peeling it...   :-\

No! Don't peel it!
How much you after for it?  ???

Peel it for sure!!  Makes the rest more valuable for us  ;D

Taking offers for it.

How "cleaned" is the holo? if you can ask such a question. Has the holo print been "cleaned" away, or has it just been wiped with a cloth?

The holo shortcode printing is not longer visible.  I am the one who cleaned it when I first got the coin.  I have pictures before the cleaning.  This was my 1st 2011 s1 coin and I didn't realize how easily the shortcode is removed off the holo sticker.

Thanks for the reply DJ. I will not bid on this one, little too special for me. I hope you will get more than 1 BTC for the coin.
Good luck with the sale :)

This will surely set the market value for such a coin. It looks to be in amazing condition and my guess would be that it's worth upwards of 2 BTC at the least. Good luck with your sale, there's a chance I might throw out an offer.

Obviously not selling for less than 1BTC since I could just peel it.

Interesting story from the ebay seller about the coin.  He was selling it for his girlfriend who received it as a part of a tip when she was working in a bar in Austin, TX in 2012.

Just wanted to give someone a chance to have one of these at a discount price since all have been selling for the 3-7 BTC range.  Still a piece of history.

So pay 2 BTC for it. :P

touché

At ease soldier  :P

so what did her tip come out to?  :)

looking for a particular price?

Just looking to get some offers.  I will probably decide this weekend on that coin since I already have a couple offers.

For those that missed Blazed's silver coin sale, I have a couple listed here as well.

The cleaned 2011 S1 coin has been sold.

QUICK, someone make him an offer before he off's another coin by peeling the label!

Don't do it 'Jacket, you don't have to harm another innocent coin for this...there's gotta be a better solution!!!

Lowered the prices on the Silver Casascius coins...

The all-silver 1BTC coins have been sold.

Updated listing with additional coins forsale.

Added the following:

2013 MS66 Grade "Infinity Coin" - Price - BTC2.5
2013 .5 BTC MS65 Grade - Price - BTC1.25
2012 MS65 Grade - Price - BTC2.5
2011 S2 MS65 Grade - Price - BTC3.5

Whats this 'infinity coin' about?

The shortcode makes the infinity symbol. See the first post pics.   ;D

Sending the non-graded coins to be graded and removed from listing. 
Updated the OP with pictures of all graded coins.

Are you sending the .5 with the series 2 hologram in?  I really hope you get a MS-67 if so...to the moon!

Yes - I am sending it in as well along with a few other loose coins I have acquired recently.  One can only hope it grades out well!

Will consider reasonable offers as well...

I've been gone for a few weeks, though I'd check in with the Casacius Crew (yes I spelled it with an error because we're all as valuable as those error coins, ha).

What's new with the Casascius coins? Has buyer demand gone to the moon? Is Mike still not producing any? Are the Litecoin versions of the Casascius coin still selling for higher multiples than the most valuable of Casascius coins?

It's good to be back...

Got either a MS-66 or MS-67 on it!  Sent in two .5btc silvers and got a 66 and 67 don't know which was s2.  Will know next week which got what.

I really hope the series 2 hologram got the MS-67 for you!  I wants pics if it did for sure.

Yes, me too. It would be an epic coin.
I will keep my fingers crossed for you DJ :)

S3 MS67
S2 MS66

https://i.imgur.com/aJPexku.jpg

So close! MS66 is still terrific though! Congrats! Price of the s3?

How much are u letting go of the s2 0.5btc silver for?

Thanks.  I am happy with grades.  All my last 1 btc and .5s had gotten ms65s.

I don't know a price for them yet but would entertain offers   you can either post here or pm.  If you post offers here, make note of payment address in OP.

Updated listing to include the graded .5 Silver S2/S3 coins...

That coin is listed forsale in the OP.

All reasonable offers are considered for each of the listed coins.

Just added a MS66 2011 S1 error coin for the sale list!!! 

Am I the only one that noticed that the ANACS gold silver says 'gilt' silver?  :D

"Silver-gilt or gilded/gilt silver, sometimes known in American English by the French term vermeil, is silver gilded with gold."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver-gilt

Ahhh TIL. Strange how I never picked the term up before.

Personally I think ANACS should be consistent on what they write on the slap.

Would be interesting exercise to try and get them to mismark a coin slab to see if they are actually accurate in all the designations since it is believed they will mark whatever you want.

Yes, and it would really not be hard for them to have a standard how to designate the coins, maybe not for all cryptocoins but at least for casascius.

It could also be interesting to open a slap and resubmit the coin to see if it gets the same grade.

Interested in the MS66 2011 error coin, any room for negotiation?

I am open to offers on all my available coins - PM Sent

It is a difficult coin to find due to its low mintage and I believe it is the only graded coin of its kind.  It also received a nice high grade.  Most other .5's that I have sent in have scored MS65.

This item is for those collectors that are looking to collect a keep a high-grade full silver set of these original highly collectible pieces.  This is the 2nd most rare produced coin in the Casascius series that a non-millionaire can own.  Casascius coins are the original and most famous physical bitcoin and will have historic collectible value for years.

I am open to offers for this or any of my other listed coins!

I would be interested to hear if anybody can confirm the existence of another 0.5 S2 MS67.
This coin could be the only one.

S2 or S3?  The S2 is a MS66 and the S3 is a MS67

I have not seen a graded S2 offered forsale.  There may be some in private collections, but not forsale.
I have not seen a S3 offered forsale at MS67 yet either.

I was very surprised when I sold a non-graded one for 13.5 :)

Collectibles: people like to collect 'em. Who knew. :)

EDIT: Incidentally, I've recently come to learn that in addition to the condition ratings (MS-*, etc), you can use the Sheldon Scale for describing rarity:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coin_grading#Rarity_factor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coin_grading#Rarity_factor)
http://varietynickels.com/pages/other-numismatic-information/rarity-system.php (http://varietynickels.com/pages/other-numismatic-information/rarity-system.php)


The Series-2 0.5 silvers would fall under the R5 category; the next most rare Casascius coin would be the 1000btc gold coin, with a rating of R7. The next most common would be both varieties of 10BTC coin, with a rarity of R3.

The more you know :D

Thanks for that information professor nubbins!
I was unaware of the Sheldon Rarity Factor scale.  Good to learn something new!   ;D

My mistake I keep thinking your S2 is a MS67 (wishful thinking on behalf of you).

Some coin prices have been updated (lowered).  Will consider offers as well.  Great time to pick up these collectibles with the BTC/USD price drop!!!

Bitcoin is on sale today!  Get your collectibles for less!   ;D

Nice collection you got there...looking to get one especially the 1btc Gold/Silver but a bit strapped for cash now..anyway good luck with your sales!:)

Prices updated!  Make me an offer!
Great time to get a nice collectible while BTC is low!

I'd got that Series 2 if I had the BTC...

I'd get it if it was 1-1.5btc cheaper ;)

Offers are definitely welcomed!!!  I thought I priced it to sell since yours were priced at 20!  :o

Updated the price of the S2

Can I make some offers?

What you think? We have some deals?

Sorry to say, but that post is kinda a slap in the face to DJ.

I was talking about the brass one! I wouldn't sell another silver for under 20.

The .5 Silver S2 coin has a sale pending escrow and is no longer available.

Dare to say for how much it went for?

I may disclose the sale price after the deal closes.

Updated pictures and inventory

Just got notification from ANACS on some additional coins that will be shipped this week.  These were added to the OP listing:

2013 1 BTC Silver MS67 Grade - Highest Known Grade - 3.5
2012 1 BTC MS66 Grade - Price - BTC 3
2013 .5 BTC MS65 Grade - Price - BTC 1.2
2013 .5 BTC MS64 Grade - Price - BTC .9
2013 1 BTC MS63 Grade - BTC 1.3

Nice score on that silver coin, not easy to get :) Congrats :)

fwiw I have one of these and would not sell it for 3.5BTC.  I'm actually considering buying djjacket's because I think down the road they will be worth much more!

If someone had a .1 Silver MS67 they could complete a sweet set with these two silver MS67'ers

Ya...they look super sexy all together   ;D ;D
http://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/gg580/bctiglasses/IMG_2478_zps9a26d20a.jpg

I'm getting a 0.1 graded, fingers crossed for MS67!

Well done!  Those look very nice!

Very nice!
Only one coin missing to complete the Casascius Silver Series-3 MS67 set  :)

Yea I'm on the lookout for a silver/gold but the going rate of 3.5BTC is too steep for me.

You after a Silver + Gold MS67 then?

Yea but I gotta score one or see how my graded LTC's do on eBay.  I'm somewhat shocked to see some of the prices for them and planning to throw a few up and see how I do.

You say you are shocked about the Ebay prices for graded cryptocoins? Do you mean they are too low or too high?

Interested on that, I have a Lealana 10 LTC error coin graded Ms-67 how much do these go for?

There's a 10 LTC Silver MS-68 with an asking price of $1995
MS-64 10 $895

I see singles with MS-66 for $199 but I don't know if they are selling for that much. Even a few ungraded for $99 but again I'm not sure if they are selling at that amount.

Seriously doubt that will sell for so much, back in January maybe, but not now.
But again, you never know :)

Sale of .5 S2 Silver Coin has been completed.

Care to tell us the price? Or is it confidential?

I will let the buyer decide if they would like to disclose the purchase.

The 2013 1 BTC MS63 Grade coin is up for auction here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=824554.0

If you haven't checked out the Rise and Rise of Bitcoin, there is a small segment showing Mike Caldwell assembling Casascius Coins.

(Enters room that looks like a tornado passed through)

"Well, it is what it is..."  :D

Protip: never trust a clean workshop ;)

Prices lowered for the following coins for a limited time:

2012 1 BTC MS66 Grade - Price - BTC 2.6
2012 1 BTC MS65 Grade - Price - BTC 2
2013 .5 BTC MS65 Grade - Price - BTC .9
2013 .5 BTC MS64 Grade - Price

Do you have (or are you able to obtain) pgp custody chains for any of these coins? Potentially interested in several of them if so.

If the coins are graded, wouldn't the chain be broken in that case? Unless ANACS are willing add to PGP custody chain (which I doubt).
 

Technically, the chain is broken as soon as Casascius hands the original package to the post office :)

Sorry - I do not have custody chain capabilities on all of these coins.  A couple of them *could* be possible since I believe I bought from the original owner.  Send me a pm with the ones you are interested in and I can check on them.

2013 .5 BTC MS64 Grade has been sold.

are these still for sale?

Yes the OP is up to date with inventory forsale.  Feel free to make offers for any that you are interested in purchasing.

Prices still lowered for the following coins:

2012 1 BTC MS66 Grade - Price - BTC 2.6
2012 1 BTC MS65 Grade - Price - BTC 2
2013 .5 BTC MS65 Grade - Price - BTC .9

https://i.imgur.com/DGVV4GTl.jpg?1

what do the silver/gold 2013 coins go for these days? I was selling at 2.3BTC each a while back but I feel like the value must be creeping up towards 3BTC by now

The market has cooled off lately.  There are a lot of new coins made by different groups now which may attract collectors, but the original Casascius coin is still the best option long term for collectors. IMHO

Ungraded I would say 2-2.5.

Some great coins available here!  Reasonable offers will be considered!

Bumpo

1.7 for the 1BTC Gold/Silver.

Sorry - that is too low of an offer.  Sent a PM.

Get your collectibles for less, look beutifull coin

1 BTC Gold/Silver MS65 Grade

This coin is now sold -  :-X

What did the BTC1 Silver MS 65 go for?

Collectible history indeed!

2.25 BTC - Great deal...

Wow, after seeing how much some of these have sold for elsewhere, I can't believe the market is now warranting such offers as "1.7btc" for a 2011.

Yeah Casascius market is not like it used to be  :-[  I assume if BTC rises again it might pick up a bit.

Looks interesting

Yes they are.  They look even more interesting in your hand!

Yeah - the entire point of collectibles is the attachment to history. Collecting is a fundamentally sentimental human affliction.

No other physical bitcoin could be as tightly coupled with the progress of Bitcoin in general as Casascius coins; from inception as an experiment in 2011, to termination due to concerns regarding regulatory overreach from FinCEN. Plus almost every news article between 2011-2014 using a Casascius coin stock image in their story...

That's the kind of history that collectors will want to own a part of down the road. The newer physical bitcoins may have some temporary novelty, but none will ever match the relationship Casascius coins have to the Bitcoin experiment. Look at the history of other coins and collectibles... In the long-run, the story often matters more than the rarity (to a point), and Casascius coins have both.

Well said ^

I agree completely and it is the reason my collection is solely Casascius coins!

Get a great collectible for a great price now that BTC is down!

Just had to snag that Silver Single MS-67  8)

Yes the MS67 1 BTC silver has been sold.

Nice collection sir :)

dj, i'd be interested in that 2013 silver .5...i'm a buyer at BTC1.2

You've been valuing Casascius coins at 3x face value, however you value the .5's at 2.4x, i'll pay at that rate.

Let's talk.

you want him to sell it for more than 50% off his asking price? for 1.2 u might be able to get a brass .5 lol

Do you even Casascius?

Do I really have to explain why this "x face value" shit is gibberish again?  ???

As nubbins so eloquently stated, I do not use a multiplier to value the collectibles.  It is a face value + premium. 

Pm sent

This is how bidding on goods works. One person says what they're asking, the other what they're offering and sometimes we meet in the middle. I expect to pay a fair price for the coins, and DJ expects to get a fair price...deciding what's "fair" is the fun part.

Fair enough, I'm a buyer of the 2013 silver .5 at face value plus a premium of BTC0.70.

Let's talk, man...

lol really? you made the exact same offer lolol

shhhhh....he's in 'slealth mode'.  dj is being worked by a strong playa.

Just a friendly reminder when working out deals if deciding not to use escrow...

Looks like another one trying the scam tactics again...

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=406128

Always a scammer in every sales thread...

Just received my Silver Single! Thanks for another smooth trade Dj.

The following coins have sold and are no longer available:

2011 1 BTC S1 "error coin" MS66 Grade
2011 1 BTC S2 MS65 Grade
2013 1 BTC MS66 Grade

Do you have pics of the 2012 1 BTC MS65 Grade? Thats a silver one, right?

na its brass silvers were only 2013 i think

The 2012 silvers were 10 BTC I believe.  I have MS66 and MS65 brass 2012's
