http://casascius.wordpress.com/2013/07/23/status-on-silver-coins-july-23/ (http://casascius.wordpress.com/2013/07/23/status-on-silver-coins-july-23/) This makes this particular Casascius coin the 2nd rarest Casascius coin produced second only to the Gold 1000BTC coin. This coin has been graded by ANACS with the grade of MS66. This is a high quality grade with the majority of Silver Casascius coins getting a MS65 or lower grade. Only the higher quality strikes and handling receives the MS66-MS67 grades. The last public record for the sale for one of these coins was two ungraded coins for 13.5 BTC each. Both series-2 silvers have been sold, for 13.5 BTC each. I'll let the buyer decide if they wish to reveal their identity. Thanks, everyone, for your interest!

Title: Re: [WTS] .5 BTC Silver Series 2 Casascius Coin - MS66 Graded - Only 45 Produced Post by: nubbins on September 12, 2014, 07:39:16 PM Very nice coin! I am surprised others have yet to grade these rare coins...you currently have the highest graded one known! I think if it was an MS-60, it'd still be the highest known grade ;) I'm deliberately not grading mine (chain of custody, natch), but I'd be damn curious to know if any of my previous buyers have had theirs graded. Where's Melbustus? He can add this coin to his list of Series-2 0.5s :) Title: Re: [WTS] .5 BTC Silver Series 2 Casascius Coin - MS66 Graded - Only 45 Produced Post by: djjacket on September 12, 2014, 07:50:06 PM Very nice coin!

Is anyone tracking the sales of the really rare coins (like this one)? It'd be nice to have some background as they come up but obviously it's not easy to track and follow.

Chainsaw's thread is the closest thing to what you're asking about. I generally try to post noteworthy sales there.
