what novice question? because I didnt go into infinite details? it was a generic question. 5 single brass or 1 5btc? one or the other. not this version or that or silver or graded and ungraded or 10 .5's or 50 silver .1's please don't do that. I have been in bitcoin since the end of 2012. i bought cas coins from nightowlace before many of you were even registered. i lost my account years ago here hence I have a new account. i am not new. ok let me pose this another way. which would you rather have a 5 single cas coins, or one 5 btc coin?
which 5 cas singles? 2011 brass s1, 2011 brass s2, 2013 brass? Or even silvers? Assuming you only mean brass, I would take 5 x 2011 Brass 1.0 s2 hologram over your other choices If including silvers, I would take 10 x 0.5 silver s2 Edit to add: I highly recommend you acquire a copy, if you do not have one, of the Encyclopedia of Physical Bitcoins. It is available through Mantis Prime via minerjones. The Bovine wins this thread  It is not a contest. Bitcoinwaist, the point is there are different Casascius coin versions and for mintage number and other reasons they have vastly different premiums. Start here: https://coinfirm.org/ebookThe pdf version of the Casascius Coin section is free to download. Read it. Feel free to then ask more questions. Then why are you asking such novice questions? I was just trying to help as you sounded like a new comer. The brass all have different values, you need to specify which one. The 2011 s2 has the lowest mintage of brass singles, the 2011 s1 is the first and an "error", the 2013 is quite common. They do not have the same value. Never have. |

I have a 2011 Brass 1.0 "Error" ANACS MS 65 (Vintage Yellow Label) I plan to add to my sales thread over the weekend. I just collected it from my bank box a few hours ago. I am not looking to trade at this time, but if you are interested in purchase shoot me a pm or wait until I post the coin this weekend.
Just my opinion, I don't think your proposed trade would work straight up. I think you would have to add a few tenths of a btc to even out the premium discrepancy.

People were paying 1.6 BTC for the 0.1 BTC silver cas coins not that long ago... Obviously premiums have dropped substantially in BTC terms. Luckily, valuing things in BTC over lengths of time is a fools errand due to the volitility. Using something like gold or fiat would tell the valuation story much more accurately.
At least for me, I thought they were a great innovation and I wanted to own them. Very few people have even been able to build on that innovation today. I can think of no Bitcoin memorabilia I’d rather own and in spite of the price in BTC terms falling, leading some to ignorantly proclaim losses, my Casascius coins are still one of the top 3 performing investments I’ve ever made. The only unexpected part to me, was just how valuable they would become so quickly.
1.6 for a Cas Tenth used to be a great deal. Example: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1100176.0 |
