That's all I ask! Thanks!!

   

   Sharks are always around when they smell newbies and people in distress.....have them browse thru past sales and see prices sodl.

Such a rare item to come up..cannot recall ever seeing an auction for such a roll. Goodluck

  Good point..in other words Provenance=the place of origin or earliest known history of something.

  I like the idea very much..but what if you find people whom do not wish it to be known they were the sellers of such coin?

  And the idea of sending any of my coins to be graded was never high in my list of things to do.

  a) Do not trust the postal system to deliver
  b) Do not trust the grading that much after I saw them grade a killyou, satori chips and fake coins.
  c) And now this that you bring up. Which is an excellent point! The more hands a coin has seen the better the chances of an issue of a breach. As far fetched as that may sound, its always a possibility.


 
   Yes virgin coin as in BTCC coins which I think are so unique in that aspect making them stand out for that feature of having freshly Minted/Virgin coins!

 2 wins!! https://live.blockcypher.com/btc/block/0000000000000000001b4bd999291803be2ba2aba4bd6f986871833f1ef1da62/

Worlds first physical cryptocurrency? What is he high on crack?



Thats all they have? Most peoples collections in here will put them to shame...hmmm..i think its time we open up our own!

0.01BTC

0.05BTC

   I look at Bitcoin as a currency and thus when Bitbills and Casascius made their idea of Bitcoin into Physical Bitcoins it was not just as collectables but I assume also a way to trade Bitcoin in person without have to register its transaction on Blockchain. Also Casascius wanted to educate people on making it easier for them to understand it in physical form when for some it was hard to grasp Bitcoin in digital format.

   And yes these have turned out as collectables as well, so have Fiat currency coins, they are both collectable items and real currencycoins as well.



Agree Dave...I wouldnt trust what is written on a sale or auction. I would always check the loading date when it comes to this.
             But then again, I wouldnt be bidding on any coin with the other coins in mind as they are not part of any survivor equation
             that I think will be around in the future. When I bid only keep BTC in mind and not the rest. But still a good point.As they
             say in Latin caveat emptor, buyer beware...do your due diligence. ALWAYS.
            
             Agree...the word shit not be used. Perhaps we should just say has Bitcoin and all the other forked BTC versions instead.

 


        Great points. I think it depends on what level of a collector you see yourself on accepting in your collection.

        If for example I had to choose a Casascius coin loaded by Mike himself or a Cas coin loaded by someone else, I would choose the one by Mike.

        For instance, many people were not aware of loadiing dates either until Monkeynuts posted the auction a few weeks back. As a collector I was always

        looking at loading dates alongside the condition. I would not want to buy a 2011 coin loaded in  2012. Most people dont care. I do.

        I am also a philatelist and in that hobby, there are stamps have what we call CTO, cancelled to order. This is when the post office cancels the stamp

       with a fancy cancel and the stamp and envelope never goes to its destination but rather given to the collector directly. It is used.

        As a die hard stamp collector I would buy the one that was genuinly cancelled and sent thru the mail rather than CTO which is geared for collectors.

       SO it all on how you want to build your collection. I am very conscious of these little things that make the world of a difference for me., but maybe not for

        others.

      
    Agrawas...alway always...check for yourself. Very easy to do. And yes the seller should say loaded or unloaded, but they can also make mistakes.
              Again buyer beware.  Same thing goes for coin makers who have been breached or have shady reps...should that be included in the OP?
              Example, Alitin coin...if a loaded coin comes up like it has on Ebay, I think the seller shouldve mentioned the coin maker had a major breach.
              But he didnt even though I POINTED IT OUT to him. You find honest people and dishonest. Again like to todl Dave F, Caveat Emptor!

              I made the thread that is pinned to the top of our collectable section to make newbies aware of what is out there as I dont think its fair they do not  know. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3315347.0

              Great posts by everyone, Thankyou!  Will update the OP with more definitions!

        
        

Nice to see a piece of Bitcoin history offered.

A bit too high for me to reach..so will observe on the sidelines.

Goodluck on your sale.

Btw..if you do get to sell at your price...delivery in person is the way to go. For something this expensive and rare...I would never trust anyone else to deliver it safely

Great topic Ty!

Came across this book thru a friend awhile back that am sure will answer a few questions

Cryptoasset Inheritance Planning: A Simple Guide for Owners

Edit: added photo

                     

Reserved....

Let the fireworks start

      Would like to make a list of definitions we use in our unique hobby
for both new people and seasoned collectors alike.


       And what better place than ask the most seasoned and knowledgeable
people in the Physical Bitcoin Cryptoverse than here?


       That being said...I have listed some definitions down below that
some will agree with and I know others will not. These are my opinions
and thus would like everyone's input as I know there will be lots of disagreements.

          So I welcome everyone 's feedback as it is important not just for
myself...but for everyone else.

        I will only be referring to Bitcoin coins or tokens.



Unloaded...Loadable and no crypto ever loaded onto paper wallet under hologram.

Loaded...Has digital Bitcoin loaded inside paper wallet under hologram.

Peeled coin....Security hologram removed and coin swept from paper wallet...thus private
key exposed. This will essentially transform the Physical Bitcoin coin into
a Bitcoin token.

Breached or possibly breached - [REFERENCE] Breached or Scam coin makers list

Token...symbolic of the item they represent.

Custom value is obvious to us as synonymous with buyer funded

Coin a flat, typically round piece of metal with an official stamp, used as money, in our case digital money.

Bitcoin token ...symbolic of bitcoin only..no digital value loaded. A
token that cannot be loaded with bitcoin or is unloaded...but has a bitcoin symbol on its
face..not loadable or unloaded.

Physical Bitcoin coin:  A coin representing Bitcoin with a paper wallet or any other device loaded with digital Bitcoin in it.
   This usually in most cases contains a security hologram covering the loaded paper wallet or even an NFC device.

To me.....a coin with a btc logo is not a Physical Bitcoin coin..it's a
token..in other words...cannot be used as a means of paying in Bitcoin or as a currency exchange using bitcoin.
A loaded coin can...ex...digital btc exchanged in person without going thru
blockchain. If coin is lost..so is the bitcoin. Unique in the history of coins.

So if an unloaded Bitcoin token has a holo with a loadable paperwallet and
is then loaded with digital bitcoin it will be thus be transformed in to a
Physical Bitcoin coin.
Example...an unloaded Casascius..would become a Physical Bitcoin coin once
loaded.

To me...the definition of a physical bitcoin coin is when a coin has digital btc loaded into
it..ex...Casascius.
     Physical Bitcoin card ..ex...Bitbills.

  Conversely , a Physical Bitcoin coin  peeled and swept will transform into a Bitcoin token.

  
Hologram..security hologram concealing private key but allowing partial or
full public key to be exposed thru hologram.

Firsbits...partial first 5 to 6. Letters or numbers exposed from paper
wallet public key..allowing user to verify loading of coin using blockchain.

Prefork loaded ..loaded before Aug 1st 2017 and containing all coins after
the fork.

Post fork loaded...does not contain all the forked coins the prefork coins
have.

Chip...Physical or Bitcoin token resembles a poker chip in the way its made.

Wallet Cards (NFC, scratch off, security hologram) - physical plastic wallets in card form such as BitBills.

Paper Wallet - while a generic term, paper wallets like Poly and Suisse etc are their own thing too.  Huh

(Physical)Crypto Art- art containing keys such as cryptoart.com collectibles and cryptografitti works

Cold Storage coins - self explanatory

Physical Crypto Bars- Casascius, Kialara, Finite By Design, BigTimeSpaghetti, CoinPlus

Hardware Wallets? Not sure if it fits what you’re looking for

Hardware Wallet Cards- Gox, Mycelium etc

Crypto hardware Yubikeys - Gox etc

Crypto Bullion - self explanatory

Commemorative Bitcoin coins - reaching probably here / same as token maybe  


HODL vs. SODL => "The key to HODL is knowing when to SODL" (from medium.com)
FODL => if you sell BTC, you are basically FODLing (in the medium to long run)
A NODL is this full node: https://www.nodl.it/
BUIDL (I believe Vitalik came up with this term...) has been touted by crypto advocates as the thing people in the crypto space should really be focusing on.

- Redeemed / Peeled / Swept
- SHA-256 Private Key
- Mintage
- DIY
- GILT
- COA / Certificate of Authenticity
- Grading Services (ANACS / ICG)
- Freshly Minted Bits (BTCC) or Virgin BTC
