Sorry, I know it's long, but I want to give interested parties a chance to see the auction. I've gone two weeks without checking the Marketplace sub plenty of times!

If anyone is impatient and wants a Buy It Now price, 25 BTC.

My last two sales of these coins were 6 BTC (when BTC/USD was $850) and 13.5 BTC (when BTC/USD was $550).

This means that the last two sales, in absolute USD terms, were $5100 and $7425, respectively.

It'll be interesting to see the final sale price in BTC vs. USD.

Nubbins what were you originally asking for it in the goods section? I can't remember.

Asking price: 25 BTC
Incidentally,

If there was a way to make a wager against this selling for 5 BTC or more, I would for surely accept that.
...
Your coin and its rarity is worth 2.5-3.5 BTC tops.

Both series-2 silvers have been sold, for 13.5 BTC each.

And as a further public service announcement, free of charge to the good folks of the Marketplace sub...

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.

Ummm, what?

Not so sure about that.

Buying a Casascius 25BTC even for as low/high as 27 a year ago would have cost you about $21,000.
If you were to redeem it, or even sell for a profit at 28, that would be worth (as of right this minute) only $7,000.

So, I wouldn't call it a store of currency or value, but moreover a store of bitcoins.  No profit yet.

Casascius coins (as goods) are really in front when it comes to separation from fiat.
BTC goes up and down all year around - but it does not significantly affect the price of Casascius coins in terms of BTC.

Honestly Casascius coins were selling for the highest markup when BTC was between 700.00 - ATH. It almost seems like the higher the prices go for BTC the better the prices on these coins.

It was unique though ... graded 67 (only error to get 67 so far), and it was a first day coin to boot. But yep, I would sooner have 50 BTC than that coin .... well, I'd sooner have both

Just over 8 hours left.

The forum seemed to have been offline for a bit; if it goes offline again before the end of the auction, I'll extend the auction end date by an appropriate amount of time to give everyone a fair shot at getting their bids in.

5.5 hours remaining.  Just a reminder:

For what it's worth, this is the last coin of this type that I'll be selling on the forums. If you're a PGP doc sort of person, this may be your final opportunity!

Congrats gijoes! Payment to address in OP due within 48 hours; please PM me your mailing address when you're ready. If you have specific mailing instructions, let me know; otherwise I'll package it in the usual nuke-proof wrappings.

If you're interested in taking me up on the PGP chain of custody, I'd prefer to have that taken care of by the end of the weekend, so just let me know what info you'd like included. If you need tips or are wondering what's best to include, just let me know.

For all the other bidders, thanks for the interest!

I think it was a mistake to make it a .1 increment instead of a .05 or .01

9.9 was mine as well; however, I am sure I would have simply extended the auction for a while with .01 bids.

Oh well. congrats.
