Don't open the slab. Were the coins graded by ANACS? If so, then the slab will have an ID number on the back, and you can look up the ID number on the ANACS website HERE. That'll tell you if it was a legitimate grading (date of grading, etc). If the grading was legitimate (and long enough ago), then the possibility of a counterfeit coin is pretty slim, in my opinion. What does the ANACS website say? Me |

  The Bitcoin Penny™ Canvas Bank Bag (100 Coins)... Pretty cool, huh?  Sample bag only. Gotta tweak the font, but almost there. On the plus side, the construction quality on this bag is very impressive! Regards, Me |

The coins that you may be buying could've been purchased by someone long ago who only thinks of them as interesting trinkets, worth little more than the BTC stored in them. If they don't follow the collectibles market, then they'd have no clue as to the actual collector value. (And I'd wager that at least 90% of all bitcoin enthusiasts do not follow the collectibles market.) That said, there were counterfeit Casascius stickers a while ago, and a ton of Casascius knockoffs on eBay. (Read a warning from the Casascius blog HERE.) Perhaps you could snap a few closeups of the coins and post them on here to get opinions on authenticity or evidence of tampering / redemption. I'd guess that if the seller were honest and legitimate, then she wouldn't mind you taking 10-20 minutes to wait on a few opinions. I wouldn't mind, if I were the seller. Buy me a cup of coffee while we wait, and I'm good. But that's me... Regardless, good luck with your Casascius adventure. I hope it works out. They're awesome little coins! Regards, Chris |

*** SOLD ***This sale is for one (1) "What Is Bitcoin?" second edition (2016) silkscreened poster by our very own nubbins. (You can read more about it HERE.) This poster is still inside its original shipping roll, which is still sealed and unopened. That's how I'll ship it to you -- same sealed / unopened roll, new shipping label. I purchased this signed / numbered poster directly from nubbins in March 2016, and I paid exactly .146 BTC, including shipping. (Months before the recent BTC spike, when BTC was ~$410 USD.) Add it to your collection now for only .08 BTC (which is approximately the same USD amount that I paid). Shipping is FREE to the USA. Regards, Chris

Hey, guys. With the recent spikes in BTC value, and being so close to the Halvening, it seems many people are advocating to HODL your BTC until after mid-July in order to make a nice profit.
That said, would you guys like for me to post-pone this raffle until post-Halvening? I'm happy to refund the ticket prices. And the post-Halvening ticket prices would likely be much lower (in terms of the USD).
What are your thoughts?
Chris

No 2015 pennies, awh  But it has stickers, so I guess I'm in. Give me #9, txid inc. I'll make you a deal, Lutpin. If you win, I'll throw in one of my few personal, naturally-patina'd, 2015 Bitcoin Penny™ lucky pocket coins. (The one I'll send is shown HERE in purple patina, but it's since turned to a pretty lime green.) And ticket #9 is yours, my friend. Me |
