0.5 Silver Casascius are pretty rare, they don't come up super often. If you run an auction there will be a lot of interest.

Any chance of a limited edition run of 9999 Gold ones? 100% would buy.

Lot 2: 21 LTC Lot 8: 19 LTC

Yeah I think that would actually go for a fair bit. Not a common sight, probably worth at least a grand, possibly a lot more.

You know shit's happening when you check the board and there are 10 pages of new posts since you went to sleep, lol.

Again, I invite you to sodomize yourself with a length of rusted pipe.
Sounds kinky. Can I get in on the rusty pipe sodomy? Or is it selected WO peeps only? Curious about what length rusty pipe you have found most effective. Have you done any A/B testing?

....... everyone is very skeptical about the current state of Bitcoin, there are a lot of people who suffer from a kind of indecision, who are stuck on Bitcoin and trying to achieve something good, I think they will never be disappointed, it is normal that Bitcoin's Prices will continue to fluctuate.
I'm not skeptical. All of this has happened before and will happen again. Good chance of all time high by years end, 100% by end of 2021. 7 figures by 2030. Will crash 80% a few times in between.....sit around and do nothing for long periods of time in between.... Inevitable, Mr Anderson.

Can everyone please be nice. We all have bitcoin reddit and bitcoin twitter if we want to yell at random people on the internet. The best thing about bitcoin collectibles has been how nice everyone is. Plus the nicer and more welcoming we are to newbies, the more likely they are to hang around, the more our collections become worth I love youse all. To get this auction back on track: 1.08 BTC

nice looking coin. where are we on the ANACS yellow slab backgrounds these days. more valuable than the green? also, the ANACS cert verification link doesn't work for me for some reason. do i need to be logged in? it never works for me, could be an add-blocker issue. If you type in the reference number manually it works fine

First of all we will need photos on a piece of paper with your forum name, and the current block height to confirm you own the coins and have them in your possession. Bidding here is pretty much always done in bitcoin, however I have seen a few exceptions https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5216779.0https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5236968.0Some recent auctions for you to get an idea of what they go for. I have bought a few, and personally, for me, coins in that condition are not worth even close to $20k. Not saying no one will want it, just to not be surprised if it doesn't sell.

.....or you could just ask makers for their address lists
I want to be able to track a coin over time though.....see when it sold, who to etc. Get an idea of its provenance. Know its history. An mj owned coin will eventually be more valuable than some random coin with no history! oh...then maybe I am missing the scope/idea of this project... I was under the assumption it is just a yes/no format that shows if "coin XX" is loaded or unloaded still. I highly doubt any coin would be worth more just because person "x" owned or held it... seems silly...but what do I know... And how do you prove ownership of a coin? You wouldn't be able to prove who owned it, but you could track its sales over time, especially if sold on this forum. Won't make any difference now, but in 30 years? Knowing the provenance of a Casascius I think would be very valuable. Ie. Forum user x bought direct from Mike, who sold it two Y, who is now selling it. Provenance makes other collectibles worth a lot more, especially if owned by someone notable....which I'm sure you will be in bitcoin history 50 years from now MJ!

If you're looking for posted Bitcoin addresses, it's quite easy to find. If you have to get the information from images, I don't know how to automate that.
I think that could be pretty easy to automate, you would need some tricks for distinguishing keys from other numbers like dates and block heights and stuff people put in photos. The biggest issue would probably be cost....because the keys are usually small relative to the picture, the Cloud API probably wouldn't work, although I'll check to see. You would have to run a custom algorithm that zooms in on the coin....doable, but probably very expensive to do in the cloud. The first step would probably be to do a quick and dirty scrape and see how many were missing addresses, and go from there. This shit will only get easier and cheaper to do though, the stuff you can do with AWS now is lightyears ahead of where they where even a year ago. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/rekognition/latest/dg/detect-labels-console.html

That'd be interesting, but I cannot think of a efficient way to extract all the useful info from that dump.
hmmmm..... that could be a fun ML problem for someone to solve. Start with Collectibles, hand label the first 50 pages or so, see what it spits out, it's the kind of structured data it might work well on, especially with [auction] and [wts] labels already exisiting, then numeric bids and offers, almost always with a PK in the first post. You could probably do a pretty good job just with a basic python script to be honest, especially if you added a "Report Mistake" button to the website, so you could effectively crowd source the labeling problem.

brass you will get less, silver you would get more

what I like best about them is they are pretty close to where I am. So I can take a half hour drive and drop off in person. I actually used to work within half a mile of where they are.
lucky bastard. I'm too scared to risk shipping across the pacific for grading, so I'm going have to wait for borders to open and spend a 30 hours on plane. Get to visit Hawaii on they way though, so not all bad. yea I hear ya there, you could always hire a courier as well. I love Hawaii - lived in Honolulu for a spell back in the 90's, so that would be a bonus for you then as long as you get a decent layover there. Works out cheaper to book the flights separately, used to do it a lot when I lived in the USA, you end up with a couple of nights in a 2-star shit hole for free. Worth it though Yeah courier is the other option, but can always visit friends on the West Coast.
