Title: [WTB] - 1.0 BTC Casascius Coin
Post by: framerate on August 22, 2014, 04:59:26 AM
Hey guys -

Hoping you can help me out. I want to buy a 1.0 BTC Casascius coin, prefer Silver. I'm not as into the coins as everyone else seems to be (in terms of knowledge) so I don't care so much about grade/batch/year/etc.

I'd really just like to buy the cheapest one I can find in good condition. If you have one, please let me know what you're looking for. Otherwise, can you take this opportunity to educate me on what I'm looking for? (What are errors? Where do I find information on the batches/grade information etc).

Thanks so much!

Wafdawg is selling a low priced Silver 1 BTC MS64 right now:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=747124.msg8454117#msg8454117

The coin is graded, which means it has been evaluated by ANACS for its condition, it has MS64*.
I do not know if you are looking for an graded coin, but it is always nice to have the coin in a slap
since it protect and preserve the coin.

*MS64
A coin graded MS-64 has at least average luster and strike for the type. Several small contact marks in groups, as well as one or two moderately heavy marks may be present. One or two small patches of hairlines may show. Noticeable light scuff marks or defects might be seen within the design or in the field. Overall quality is attractive, with a pleasing eye appeal. If copper, the coin may be slightly dull. Color should be designated.

Agreed Wafdawg is legit and has some nice coins!  I have traded with him a few times and would have no issue paying first.
