It has the Sochi Olympics dust - that is actually a plus to some collectors. Was there any more information on this? Was the dusting performed by a known party with an intent, or is it just a dusting that happened around the time of the olympics? The transactions came from this vanity address: 1SochiWwFFySPjQoi2biVftXn8NRPCSQC That address dusted a few Casascius coins. https://tradeblock.com/bitcoin/address/1SochiWwFFySPjQoi2biVftXn8NRPCSQCI have no idea of the purpose, I just remember it happened. |

It might be clear for people like us who have handled Casascius coins and been around them for years...but for the novice newbie and yes some experienced collectors they can be fooled.
I know for a fact at least one person that bid on it that thought it was genuine because he didnt look hard enough. So yes sometimes the experienced user can make the mistake of thinking it is genuine.
Just because the color is not the same can be blamed on the patina build up thru time too
I've got one that never attempted to pass itself off as a real one. It's pretty similar to that one pictured. In both cases their castings are much more sharply delineated than the real thing. It's not too huge a leap for a forger to do something to address that and then it's going to be tricky. Yes its just a matter of time before they nail this. Same goes for loaded cas coins with holo. Provenance and proof is going to be key in the event these things do happen when it will be impossible to distinguish the genuine from the fake coin. First off great job with this thread, it is important to have this information out there and there have been many useful posts and discussion. Regarding the future, I am not too concerned. My reasons for a lack of concern: 1) The bulk of my physicals are loaded Casascius Silver Singles. I believe by the time I am ready to sell them btc will be over 100K USD/BTC. 2) There are many coins which trade in the major auction houses (Stacks & Heritage) for 100k USD plus every week (have a look). Pretty much zero fakes ever get thru as the money involved is high enough that experts can make 100's of thousands of dollars per year. For this reason you get very intelligent people dedicating their lives to becoming experts at authenticating very smalll subsets. We will have experts at this when the coins are worth over 100k. Fakes will be near impossible, as they are today with high value US coins like the 1794 Dollar. People successfully fake $500 Morgan Dollars today and sell them on ebay, but no one gets away with faking a coin worth 100k. In summary, it is very rare a coin worth over 100k USD is successfully counterfeited and sold thru any major auction house and in 5-20 years Casascius 1.0 btc will be worth over 100k USD imo. The downfall is, the buyer's will pay a 20% premium to the auction houses. |

Have you considered having minerjones sell them on your behalf? He is extremely good at what he does and his fee is incredibly small compared to the value added in him hosting.
He also takes quality photos.

Thank you everyone  Don't worry having my account hacked was the least of my worries on the bitcoin journey... Lol  Does anyone have any thoughts on pricing at all, or would you recommend auction? Thank you for the help Most of the time I auction Cas coins with a starting value of face (in this case 1 btc). Little scary at first, but you get the market price. I would guess this coin would go from 1.25-1.35. If you want to auction take a look at how the succesful ones have been run and use one of their formats. |

Have you considered an escrow to collect the funds until distribution of prizes?
Once all of the spots are filled I will see if their is an escrow willing to take this up. 0.512 BTC for 2 Satori Rolls and a couple of Bitcoin Penny rolls?
You are forgetting the airtight containers and all of the shipping. That is an odd order of operations, perhaps sort escrow first so everyone knows what they are entering? |

One bump before these go on eBay.
Currently under release price.
Hey, I am going to pass at this time mainly as I am trying to focus my collection and as much as I want these, they go against that goal. I will say, to anyone interested, I did some research and the offer price is a good deal. Good luck with your sale markj113. |

Looking at photos, the grade looks reasonable, maybe you get a 65 on a resubmit.
Nice coin OP, sorry about your hacked account. You would think we could have optional 2FA on log in by now given the value of some of our accounts but no...
