Title: 2011 S2 MS65 Casascius coin Post by: LouReed on August 13, 2014, 03:18:06 AM Like the title says! Make me an offer. I don't need to sell it, but if the price is right, it can be yours! I'll post pics tomorrow. It's late, and it's in the safe and I don't feel like digging it out right now. :)
Escrow happily accepted, or you send first! DannyHamilton is the preferred escrow holder. Title: Re: 2011 S2 MS65 Casascius coin Post by: nubbins on August 13, 2014, 01:33:38 PM I'll start things out with 1.25, depending on how those pictures look :D

I will update tonight. Title: Re: 2011 S2 MS65 Casascius coin Post by: Possum577 on August 13, 2014, 11:12:57 PM This is an extremely rare series of coin - significantly more rare than the 2011 S1 error coin, which had over 10x more coins minted than the 2011 S2.
BTC1.25 would be an absolute steal...Mike probably charged more than that to sell it to the original owner! Pending pictures, this could be a very sweet deal for someone!

If not it looks like you may have accepted his bid already and thanks for considering.

This is rarer (and in excellant shape) then the 2011 V1!! Title: Re: 2011 S2 MS65 Casascius coin Post by: Blazed on August 14, 2014, 01:53:10 AM im actually a bit upset that its going for anything less then 2.5BTC. This is rarer (and in excellant shape) then the 2011 V1!! Just because it is rare doesn't make it more desirable. Most people want an error coin over these just because. Title: Re: 2011 S2 MS65 Casascius coin Post by: Nightowlace on August 14, 2014, 01:56:25 AM This is as good a time as any to remind people how numismatics are priced. SALE PRICE = (FACE VALUE) + (NUMISMATIC VALUE) + (SELLER'S PREMIUM) Notice the lack of multiplication symbols; statements such as "2x face" or "10x face" have no meaning and no place in numismatics. The FACE VALUE for a Casascius coin would be the value of the BTC stored within, plus the spot value of any precious metals. The NUMISMATIC VALUE is an absolute value based solely on the desirability of the coin. This generally correlates with mintage, age, and condition, but other factors can be at play here as well. The SELLER'S PREMIUM varies from seller to seller, based on a number of factors including the seller's trustworthiness, care in packaging, supporting documentation or certifications, and other factors. The biggest point to make here is that with all other things being equal, FACE VALUE and NUMISMATIC VALUE have no bearing on one another. https://i.imgur.com/ihgR0i6.jpg 1.5 Title: Re: 2011 S2 MS65 Casascius coin Post by: justbtcme on August 14, 2014, 02:00:26 AM im actually a bit upset that its going for anything less then 2.5BTC.

So until the entire process is bitcoin it will always be based on fiat, which is why when bitcoin shot through the roof he reduced his prices heavily.

Title: Re: 2011 S2 MS65 Casascius coin Post by: Nightowlace on August 14, 2014, 06:50:10 PM If I recalled correctly, Mike's markup on the 2011 coins were around 0.2-0.5, can anyone confirm this? Im pretty sure it was much higher. Bitcoin was still around a couple dollars each, with the coin, cost of BTC on the coin, etc. I think they were a few bitcoin. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Title: Re: 2011 S2 MS65 Casascius coin Post by: Nightowlace on August 15, 2014, 10:46:12 AM Realistically the best market for coin resellers is off this forum. I've found I get an average of 33% higher premiums if sold in person, on eBay, etc. That's where you will get some money for this coin.

From Mike's original sale thread - man those were shiny!! :) http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/9654/casasciusphysicalbitcoi.jpg Still building the web content to sell these online. These turned out sweet! Until then, supply shipping info and ask me in PM for a PGP signed bitcoin payment address. These are a REAL BITCOIN each worth 1 BTC. One side has a hologram. Underneath the hologram layer is a private key. The first 8 characters of the bitcoin address appears on each coin. Current pricing: 1.25 BTC per coin for up to 10 coins. 1.20 BTC per coin for up to 100 coins. Add 1.00 BTC for shipping (any quantity, and it will be sent USPS Priority Mail insured for our mutual protection).
