I just received a 2011 Casascius coin fully loaded.  The coin is in mint condition.. which grading service is best?  and are there any offers?  I'd only trade for BTC.

Cheers,

Need to see some pictures to make any sort of offers.  ANACS is who grades them...most others will not grade "tokens".  Are you willing to send first or use an escrow?

Probably escrow... or I'll put up on ebay.  The coin is pristine.. sec pics incoming.

Would be nice to place some pics.
Also, as this is an auction, you should post this too:
Description:
Starting bid:
Buy it now:
End date and time:
Payment methods accepted:
Additional information:

My intention is to get it graded first... I believe its MS69 possibly 70

Its immaculate.. hologram perfectly centered.. no scratches or nicks.. a tight imprint from the press

MS-67 is the best to date grade wise...if you got higher it would have a nice premium!

Please contact me if you do hit that MS69 or MS70 :o

Thats it..  its gorgeous!

Agreed on the needed detail - if this is not an auction then you should list it in the Goods section.....

Since it's in a case that appears that allows it to roll around on the edges, I don't understand how it could be so highly graded.

Does it have an ACTUAL grade? I didn't see one anywhere on here.

Not to say that I'm not interested but 69 or 70 is quite laughable.  It actually shows that you don't know what you are talking about.

Yep SgtSpike got a 67 for a 2011 error (it was also a first day coin, and fetched 50BTC). Thats the best I have heard of, think the coin grader got laid that day

I havent heard of any others that high for 2011 brasses - either s1 or s2

no the error coin

I will take the under @ 67

You're probably right.. I might be a little over zealous.  I was just excited to have one in such beautiful condition. I'll send it off for grading as soon as possible and post the quality when I find out.

My best guess is it's an MS-64 judging from all the little nicks and scratches on the front.

I'll offer you 1.4 for it.

I'm not going to sell it for less than I bought it for.  Would just keep it.

how much did you buy it for?

I'd have to do the conversion... but traded 60 oz of silver and 1 oz of palladium for it.

Isn't that way over 1200 USD?

yeah.. way over.  About 2100 USD. 

Still want to do a similar trade?

Yes I do...I want to trade it for btc.  I'm kinda on the fence about trading now.. or getting it graded first.  I looked at it under a magnifying glass.  I am not an expert but I think it will grade very high.

MS70 might be a little too optimistic...

Just send the coin in and get it graded that is by far your best option here. If you need any help filling out the form or anything feel free to shoot me a message.
