Nice, can you add me to your distribution list? Thanks for the education!

Did he tell you what year he has?

What's the difference between the Casascius series 2 and series 3 holograms? What coin denominations and years carry the series 2 hologram? What coin denominations and years carry the series 3?
If there's an existing thread about this that someone knows of, please point me in the right direction.
Thanks very much.

I think the tipping point for payment availability will come soon after Silicon Valley and Seattle retailers start accepting BTC for payment. The tech industry needs to lead the acceptance among retailers.
Silicon valley is already pretty involved in BTC businesses. A lot of the VC money is going to and from there That's true, however retailers are the key to widespread use by consumers. Paypal, Apple, Amazon all need to get on board. Yahoo's move to include BTC in it's stock ticker listings is a big move, especially since now you can add that ticker to your stock listings on your iPhone (since Apple uses Yahoo's stock ticker listings.) The VCs see the potential but consumers aren't influenced by VCs, they're influenced by seeing "Bitcoin Accepted!" in their brick and mortar and online stores.

I'm not selling until I have some serious BTC!

It took me a while to find this forum, but it's now become my "go-to" sources for the BTC community. Thanks!

I might also be interested in this if there is some kind of certificate of authenticity created with some way a 3rd party could verify.
People are demanding too much evidence that's impossible to provide. I have some people saying I may have gold plated a defect on one of my coins. And to prove it to be a genuine defect from the mint is impossible. I find it fucking ridiculous. The only justification is a general consensus by the masses. Rank and status means absolutely nothing. Welcome to the bitcoin age, where rank and status mean nothing!

I think I remember them being in the 5-6 BTC range

What did they go for? What's the market at for these two coins?
Much more than the offers listed in this thread, but a little less than the listed price. You've removed most of the list prices (replaced with "Sold"), so it's still a mystery...

You need to meet the market! Graded versions of the same coin sold for less than 2BTC last week.
The open auctions on eBay right now aren't competition for you, the coins that remain are ungraded and look really beaten up. Obviously you have good quality coins here.

Willing to share the 8 bit prefixes for the coins and show better pictures of the holograms? It'll make it easier to make an informed decision when we can verify they're funded, determine what date they were funded, etc.

Good call out. I can take it easy for a while. The reason for the repetition is that it's been hard to get answers out of people, instead I get hassled for even thinking against the flow.

I think we'll all be winners, those of us who have these for a while...any year, denomination, etc.

Check the part of your quote that is in bold... Obviously counting only the coins funded in 2011 is not accurate, as even the error coins were being funded 6 months after that. Hence, the data is not accurate. I don't need to pitch my Nasty coins... I was just answering your question guy. Next time don't ask questions you don't want to know the answer to if you are going to get emotional. I am glad that people are quoting uberbills.com. The iOS App I created for the site should go live in Apple's App Store in the next 48 hours. You've lost sight of why this started. Who said anything about Uberbills, the data is from Casascius Full List --> http://casascius.com/fulllist.txt. Have you ever been to the link? Can you read in the first few lines that: - The first 11,000 belong to series 1 coins with inkjetted holograms with the "CASACIUS" error
- The next 1,000 addresses belong to series 2 coins with windowed holograms
The first bullet proves my point that there are 11,000 error coins, and thus they are not nearly as rare as other coins issued. The second bullet implies that the number of series 2 2011 1BTC coins totals 1,000. I asked why 1 coin of 11,000 would be more valuable than 1 coin of 1,000? Still with me? Your first response to that was good, I think you said it was the historical nature of the coin, first run an all. Sounds logical to me. The rest of your posts turned in to nonsense and either outright lies about the other comments/analysis made or a clear indication that you don't read well (the latter of which is fine, if that's the case.) I'm not questioning what you believe in, I'm just asking why you believe it. That's it. (And to be completely fair to me, I was never asking you personally.) Thanks to JustBTCme for wanting to go through the numbers. I think everyone reading this is more educated now. And better education keeps us all from getting scammed, paying too much, or getting paid to little.

Although there are 2011 S2 1btc coins that were funded 2012 and beyond, I only counted the ones funded in 2011.Here is my top 7 list of the most rare coins and the approximate population of each: ranking, name, population, #active 1. Casascius 1000 BTC 2011 Gold coin : 3 2. Cassascius 25 BTC 2011 S1, S2 : approx. 150 of each version 3. Casascius 10 BTC 2012 S2 Gold/Silver, All Silver: approx. 190 of each version 4. Casascius 5 BTC 2012 S1, S2: approx. 400 of each version 5. Casascius 1 BTC 2013 S3 Gold/Silver: 700 total. 6. Casascius 1 BTC 2011 S2: approx. 1000 funded between 2011-12-31 and 2011-11-13 7. Casascius 1 BTC 2013 S3 Silver: 1300 total For the 2011 s1 1 BTC I don't know how many are still active, only that 11,000 total were made. For the 2013 1 BTC, 0.1 BTC, and 0.5 BTC I have no information on the maximum population on these coins. My data is crude and mainly relies on www.casascius.uberbills.com and statements from Mike Cladwell. For example, Mike stated that for the 25 BTC coin, the S1 and S2 are more or less evenly split. His post can be found on this forum I just don't have the link at hand right now. Anyone want to correct or add to what I have? Og, I did a control F search for "aren't correct" on this great data and couldn't find those words together, anywhere. It's amazing how blatantly you make s*it up! His numbers come directly from the Casascius website - there's no better, more factual source. I'm surprised you're not agreeing with me, after all it would make a great opportunity for you to pitch your nasty poser coins. Of course, you're entitled to a different opinion, i might not agree with you but that doesn't mean you're "incorrect". This is getting silly, but that's just my opinion. Godspeed man.
