But this block is big... and everyone knows size matters just as much in crypto as anywhere else.

Did you mean 16.5BTC?

If not the current high bid is:

I think the pictures speak for themselves. This is a very nice coin in great condition. Let's see if he's able to successfully scare away other bidders!

Slightly over 48 hours remaining 

The seller has accepted this bid but has asked that I accept any higher offer for 72 hours so I have changed the title to an auction to reflect this.

This auction will end: July 10th at 1:00 PM PST

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/usa/los-angeles

Bid increments should be: at least 0.01BTC

No sniping, bids made at the end of the auction will extend the time by 15 minutes.

Shipping is not included and will be negotiated with the winner depending on geographic location and whatever shipping/insurance is desired.

I will pass that offer onto the seller and PM you with her response.

If anyone would like to place additional bids in the interim feel free 

Bump

Awesome raffle! If I could get spot 5e that would be great. If it is already taken any random spot is fine 

Haha no layaway plan unfortunately... You should definitely pick it up though, it would look great in your collection 

Yes, the owner is able to ship internationally. Whatever shipping/insurance you would like can be arranged. The cost of this will be negotiated between you and the seller dependent on the sale price and the shipping method chosen.

Thank you! It will definitely make a beautiful addition to someone's collection.

And I'm sure you don't hear it enough, thank you for creating and maintaining the Casascius uberbills 

Solid first offer. The owner isn't in a huge rush to sell so I think we will wait to see if there are any higher offers. If you'd like I can let you know if there is a higher offer so that you can have a chance to outbid.

The coin is funded with 10BTC, correct. I haven't seen the coin in person so it is hard to predict the exact grade. I think that MS67-68 would be a safe guess. Regardless the value of these particular coins doesn't change very much with the grade that they receive. Thank you 

The owner is flexible on price so don't be afraid to make an offer! All serious offers will be considered.

No need to bring personal drama into this thread, I'd appreciate if the thread was kept on topic. Thank you.

Thank you for clarifying 

Uberbills definitely isn't the most accurate source of information for ownership purposes since it requires no proof to change. Perhaps he marked a large group of 10BTC coins as his and accidentally included this one. I've sent a PM to Bitmarket.io so maybe he can clarify. 

I am mediating the sale of this funded 10BTC Casascius Silver with Gold B on behalf of the user XYNACK.

I was contacted by this individual via Reddit and recommended that they would have the best luck selling it on this forum. I have performed my own due diligence and I am confident that this user is in possession of this coin. Feel free to ask any questions or request any additional photos.




This coin is absolutely immaculate and as Mike's profile picture can attest, truly one of the most beautiful and sought after Casascius coins. It has clearly been well cared for and only removed from the capsule to take photos for this thread.

Escrow is naturally expected, I am willing to escrow this deal and hold the funds via Trezor as a non interested third party. Escrow via one of the usual forum escrows is also fine in which case escrow fees will be the responsibility of the buyer. Escrow funds will be released to XYNACK once the deal is completed.

The asking price is: 18BTC

The coin is located in California.

Feel free to make offers  

I originally started out with a display case like this:

But they were pretty bulky for storage and weren't ever on display so I switched to one like this and really like them:

Love this idea... Already lost 30 minutes of my life! 

I really can't think of a Casascius (coin, could be a bar I suppose) that doesn't have the year on the front so the "date unknown" is a little concerning. I regard to the "gold-plated" maybe it's a 25BTC and she's blind!

If you would like feel free to PM me for my phone number and I can talk you through which coin would be the most cost effective to peel as well as what to look for. I'm not an expert but I have a fair amount of experience with these coins.  

At the risk of beating a dead horse, be careful and good luck!  

Very curious about the communities valuation of this coin. I have a few late funded coins and I am curious if their rarity makes them worth more or if early funded coins are preferred. I don't mean to clutter up your raffle thread, let me know if you want me to delete my comment but I haven't seen very much discussion on the topic.
