Now are you asking 3.25 BTC for a ungraded coin and 1 BTC for PGP .... ........ .......... .....  Do you really think I would purchase coins for a higher price than I sell them for? Also: ANACS sucks and their grades don't mean shit (e.g. The infamous MS70 0.1 with a clearly visible dent) Also: This coin has been in my possession since receiving it new; dare you to find another first-batch first-owner silver with PGP docs. |

$450 dollars to sign a PGP signature? WOW
What are dollars? Since we're asking questions, how much is YOUR time worth (in "dollars" or BTC)? |

WTS: 2013 Casascius 1 BTC Silver. From roll 1Ag1-C, third roll in the first funded batch. PGP chain of custody is available for a fee; I'm the first owner of this coin, and it's extremely rare these days to be able to purchase a PGP'd coin from the first owner. Asking 3.25 BTC for the coin, or 4.25 BTC with PGP chain of custody.   |

MS70 0.5 Silver s2 - would pay 10 btc
I would be interested in that too.  What sucks about ANACS in this case is that the series are not indicated. LEL, meant to send all that as a PM. Avert your eyes!  |

I will broker the sale for some of the 70s (not mine). A couple of 0.1s are available now, a couple of silver and golds will also probably be going on sale when they get back from ANACS, hopefully next week. Feel free to PM any offers for the 0.1s.
70s -- which (if any) are from hardbtc/you? If hardbtc has been in contact with Mike recently, I'd potentially be interested in trying to put together an MS70 silver set with PGP docs. MS70 0.1 Silver - would pay 2 btc MS70 0.5 Silver s2 - would pay 10 btc MS70 0.5 Silver s3 - would pay 2.5 btc MS70 1.0 Silver - would pay 3 btc MS70 1.0 Silver+Gold - would pay 3 btc and 0.5 btc per coin for PGP docs. That's potentially an extra 2.5 btc for you & hardbtc to split, just for getting some documentation in order  |

I've got an MS68 tenth -- original owner has been in touch with Mike recently, so PGP docs *may* be available down the road. None yet tho.

nubbins, is this from a roll we split a while back? maybe I should get some graded if ms-67 is possible
Canary, the very same roll. Blazed sent a bunch in for grading and they all scored quite high. |

I will just keep them for anything under 8. I am not in a rush to sell any coins honestly. Finding them with a chain is rare..
Took me over two years to collect the 4-coin set w/ docs I recently sold. |
|
|
|
So far the best offer is @ 7. I will add pictures ASAP (forgot). They look the same as all the others though  I'd value this set at 7.5-10 BTC at this point in time. 7 would be a steal. |

Nubbins have been talking shit about ANACS for years, he say that they cannot be trusted. Example: http://bitcoinstats.com/irc/bitcoin-otc/logs/2013/12/31 (c) i don't trust ANACS enough The chain is broken as soon as the coin is in custody of someone not able to sign and extend the chain. Sorry for the thread hijack. A couple of things: -Your "quote" is attributed to "Nubbins", which is neither my forum handle (no capitals), nor does it match the nickname (trailing `) in the provided link. -Who says that's me on irc? That ` character looks scammy. -Are you a stalker or did you happen to just have a quip from two years ago bookmarked? -Why not ask me what I think about it? I'm right here. FWIW the chain is not broken if the coin is handled by the mail service or couriers because they don't know it's a Casascius coin. If a shipped coin arrives undisturbed (and you didn't stupidly write "Casascius coin" on the package), I'd consider the custody chain intact. Also FWIW -- and I still stand by my claim that ANACS sucks and only IDIOTS buy coins based on the grade and not the condition of the coin itself -- but since ANACS records video of all coins from the moment they arrive til the moment they leave, I'd still consider the custody chain unbroken. The owner who sent the coin for grading should include particulars in their custody docs: dates, ref numbers, etc. ANACS sucks. They gave a damaged coin a PERFECT ms70 grade. ANACS sucks. |

I agree that 1BTC per coin is pretty pricey for the documentation. I think something like an extra .5BTC - 1BTC for a set of coins is more realistic.
My time is worth what it's worth. 1BTC is pretty steep but I'm the only remaining source for one-nub chains. FWIW I paid smoothie 0.5 BTC per coin for docs on three coins recently -- 1.5 BTC total. You think 1 BTC is expensive, just wait until you see how much I charge someone who turned down free docs two years ago and wants them now |

I assume a scammer could easily buy a coin with a chain and then make a fake coin with the same first bits. Since the PGP chain is just a file, it is very easy to duplicate. In that case both coins would look legitimate. If my assumption is correct then the PGP chain is, IMHO, useless.
Someone doesn't understand what they're talking about |

Nubbins, i would requeest confirmation of shipment as you stated it would go Monday. Also can you PM me the tracking number?

Sorry, busy time of year. |

Rarity is increasing. Fewer sellers around in general. Check eBay prices, they are pretty nuts right now. A 0.5 Brass can fetch $1500+
eBay asks != eBay sales |

Really, casascius 0.5 BTC coins go for this much now? Or are you just paying a premium for the expected quality of the coin? My guess: market slightly warmer than usual, trusted seller, high expectation of quality. No idea, really |

|

I could go out and have thousands of these printed today.
Probably not a good idea. |
