Thanks for that, I was under the impression those were just cheap China coins and had no idea they were a replica of an actual coin (Antana Statistic).    

I hope the upcoming book that comes out regarding physical bitcoins has enough information to be able to tell the difference between these types of counterfeits.

I'm unaware of these items being offered for BTC anywhere else, the Atwood items are hard to find at these prices as well!

I should've seen that coming!   

Dang, the number 2 and 3 keys were so close I chose the wrong one!

Nice win ratep!

Alright, I see a little over 800 for the mintage with ~250 being currently redeemed giving ~550 currently funded.

I wasn't arguing that the premium should be the same over face value for all denominations of casascius coins, if that is what Quicksilver was stating maybe I misunderstood.  The fact is that $12,000 is quite a premium and the buyer really needs to want this coin more than a car or a luxury vacation.  I could almost guarantee that if a serious buyer offered 50BTC for an ungraded 25BTC casascius someone would come out of the woodwork and sell theirs.

In any aspect, good luck with your sale wheresmycoin.   

Haha, some friends I know saw this and they were thinking that Bitcoin isn't secure since the funds couldn't be immediately tracked to the person who took them.   

Here are some items which I don't see come up for BTC that often.  All of the titanium items are Grade 5: Titanium Ti-6Al-4V.  I've priced them competitively and all items are brand new, none of the tools have ever been used or carried.

Here is a legend to describe the packaging references I've used:
NIB = new in box

The prices include free shipping & tracking to the continental US, a small savings can be had if you purchase more than one item but I am shipping flat rate for most items so it be minimal.

I have bought/sold many items online in the past and do not usually have a problem (we know there are exceptions ) but I'm willing to use a mutually agreed upon reputable escrow if needed.  Buyer will pay escrow fees if escrow is chosen.  If you are international please inquire for a shipping quote, I will do my best to get the best quote possible.

I'm going with 288. 

Quickseller stated it above.  Loaded 1BTC casascius coins that sell for 3BTC are receiving a premium of 2BTC for the coin.  The premium is the amount over the face value loaded and not a multiple of the face value.  This coin has to be exceptionally rare, especially in the buyers eye to gain a price of 75BTC with a premium of 50BTC.

I was just reading the casascius threads where the 1BTC coins were sold at 1.25BTC + 1BTC for shipping and 25BTC coins were sold at 28BTC + 1BTC for shipping.  I'm not saying such a premium isn't warranted for this coin as I don't know the specifics of the backstory and previous ownership, but I'm guessing a 3BTC premium back in the day was probably like $30-40?  Right now a 2BTC premium is around $475 which means there is quite a difference and we can just imagine what happens to a 50BTC premium, eh?    (approx. $12,000)

How many of these coins were produced that make them this rare?

PM sent. 

Thanks!


Monkey fist knots such as this size could be used for heaving large diameter line and anchoring of small boats in calm waters/rocky bedding.  I created a larger one a while ago which wasn't as clean looking nor tightened thoroughly but it did the job in anchoring an 18ft jon boat in some windy situations lake fishing.  The weight of the monkey fist on that one was 7 or 8 lbs I believe. 

Not primarily in my eyes for the self defense method, but you can think of it as a training tool similar to the way nunchaku is a training tool for sword/large knife control.  I made a pair of nunchaku in the past and they leave quite a bruise/can knock you unconscious.  Luckily I've only been bruised and never hit myself in the face or got knocked out.  The same goes for the large monkey fist, it has the capability to knock out and hurt others/yourself quite easily if you start swinging it around like a madman but any rope with a weight attached has the same effect.  The difference for training is where the nunchaku can be used for swords and the monkey fist with rope attached as such can be used for rope/chain ball weapons.  Similar to the Kill Bill scene where the chick is swinging a chain ball weapon.

If you purchase this item, please be careful with it. 

A monkey fist is a knot, maybe "monkey's fist" but I just call it monkey fist.  



They take a long time to tie with this type of rope, size of this bearing, and the tightening rounds it goes through.  Usually a keychain sized one can be completed by hand with no jigs in less than 10-15 minutes by an experienced knot tyer.  The monkey fists themselves feel almost like rocks when fully tightened due to the steel core.  This one was tied without jigs.  

I created this one of a kind double monkey fist over the course of around 3 hours.  It was made with two 2 1/4" stainless steel industrial grade ball bearings and is tied with 9mm prusik cord at a tensile strength of 4,850lbs or 2,201kgs.  This thing is a monster and the fists weigh 2lbs each!  It took a lot of work and finger strain to get the ropes tight but it is an awesome monkey fist set with one being tied at 4 turns and the other at 5 turns.  It it is 7 1/2 ft in length when doubled up for throwing and can be used for other training activities.  The rope is only tied with a single knot in the middle to keep the ropes together and the customer can untie this to have a full 7 1/2 ft extension.  

I have experience tying boating/survival knots and this is two large bearings tied together with properly tightened monkey fists.  I am not sure if many things like this exist around the world as this is custom and I only have a few of these bearings left; they are hard to find cheap.  For reference, two 1-7/18" stainless steel bearings - $72 + shipping - www.ebay.com/itm/380512746871.











No scale, measuring tape, or extra ball bearing is included.

I feel there is a minimum these are worth artistically and we haven't quite reached it as I wouldn't mind owning prints 1, 2, & 3 for such a low price.   

OP, can you state how much total time goes into making one of these artist proofs?
