Why is this so exciting news? You can still easily destroy the screen.
Did you even watch the video? What kind of crack are you smokin? |

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. |

Gotta love apple and people that value quality.
I'm a huge apple fanboy. Everyone else hating just doesn't get it.
I feel the total opposite about it, I don't get the Apple hype. It's hipstery and lame to pay so much for something that you could get something else that is way much better in performance and quality than apple. It's like the hype is keeping apple going and I'm just waiting for it to die off. Well that's because you're lame-o who doesn't get it. |

^^^^BUMP^^^^
Looks like the person that offered to buy my Silver Wallet and hold on to it bailed out. Stopped responding to my PMs. It's back on the market.

Its up to buyer to gage how much they think its worth. I'd personally value the grade over the error but that's just me. Someone in the thread mentioned if a buyer purchased this, how would they be able to sell it later for the same price? Well if you pay a substantial premium for a coin you have to wait a long period for the market to digest it. There's no quick flip on something you pay a substantial premium on, because the buyer of this coin is what we call in the industry, the whale. Collectors should buy what they like and collectors make the best investors because of that reason so if someone were to buy it just hold onto it for a while and you will be rewarded. Correct. The market determines the price. Ergo the listing. The grade is irrelevant with these coins. It may matter with the early brass coins but the newly minted silver rounds are pretty much all in superb condition. Most who bought them treated them like gems. I have plenty of the silver-gold rounds. All are pretty much the same. Cones on top of clones. In mint condition. As they were shipped from mike. With the exception of the golden heart error coin. It's what makes that coin stand above all else. I bought them to resell in a few years. Not anytime soon. I have patience. And when it does come down to my last silver-gold round, you can bet this one will go reluctantly. If it sells at all. I think whoever buys this is a serious collector and isn't in it to resell for a margin. The Cas collector market will mature over time. More will get involved. Money will come pouring in. People will fight over a piece of history. This is priced rather reasonably. The 25btc+ coins will be much more difficult to sell as BTC appreciates. The scope of potential buyers will be very narrow. There is a reason why I sunk some of my BTC into these silver rounds. I believe they are more desirable than the brass tokens. And marketing them shouldn't be an issue as they already speak for themselves. All I need are some sexy shots and market presence. And my scope of buyers is wide because its within reach for most entry and avid collectors/investors. There has to be some level of trust here. Just as we trust mike to not have a copy of all private keys stashed away somewhere. You can trust math. Humans, not so much. You know I'm surprised I haven't heard from Chainsaw yet. I wonder what he's up to. He's done an excellent job maintaining a public record of Cas transactions for the market. He's a wise man. I think he was one of the first I showed my error coin to. If you are reading this, let me know what you think. |

I find it very interesting that out of all the possible shapes two drops can make, a perfect looking heart came out.  Lets cut the bullshit.... I imagine myself in your shoes and I would have to ask myself the question - Would it better to have ANACS decide this? If they indicate that the heart shape is a minting error, it would 100% prove everything. I am planning on having all my coins sent in for grading. Looking forward to that. I was waiting for blazedout419 to show me how to complete the forms. But that won't prove anything. What justifies a defect such as this is the general consensus. Anyone out there with a similar defect will have an impossible time proving it unless mike directly confirms it for that particular coin. Regardless of rank and status on this forum. My defect just happens to be shaped like a heart. Which makes it extremely special and desirable. And it's the real deal. If you think otherwise than get lost. This coin isn't for you. I don't have the time or inclination to deface my coins to artificially inflate their value. And if you think it's that easy and have the time and are willing to risk trashing your valuable coin then go ahead. I like to think most people are sane enough not to do such a thing. Anyway the posted SMS messages make it clear that random specks of gold may have ended up on the face of some of these coins. If you believe mine is one of those rare gems, post your bids. Previous bids are 7.1 and 7. But I value the coin more than that as I feel I hit the lottery with this gem. It truly is one of a kind. Minimum bid for consideration is 10btc. I'll have some really neat macro shots in a few days. I think you'll like them. It'll be a spectacle! True marketing gold. The crown jewel of casascius error coins. And it ain't tarnished brass!  |

Is that imported to the US? I haven't seen it in US markets. Milk chocolate = yum! Is that imported to the US? I haven't seen it in US markets. Milk chocolate = yum!
Yep. They sell it in international markets. |

I find it very interesting that out of all the possible shapes two drops can make, a perfect looking heart came out. I don't find it interesting. I find it incredibly fascinating and delightfully charming. If there's a keeper, this is it. Also, wouldn't the pursuit of perfection be exponentially troublesome to attain? Lets cut the bullshit, I'll offer a $2K bounty to anyone that can fake a defect like mine. I'll put my money where my mouth is. I'm curious to hear and see how difficult the process is, and if the colors and shape matches. You can do it on a redeemed coin, and those don't come cheap either. You'll only have one shot to get it right. You'll quickly realize how much effort and risk is involved. Good luck. -- On another note I had no idea some liquid was involved in the gold plating process. But it does explain why the heart looks like a watermark. By that I mean the right side is a little darker and thicker. Similar to a water spot where the stain is heavier in the region with more water and thinner where it tapers out. It's difficult to see this in the current photos, but when my new camera arrives it may reveal it. |

@Charlie Thanks for posting. I'm in a tough spot proving this. Just think, how would you go about it if you were in my position? I'm more interested in having some proof for myself, not for the sale. @justbtcme Honestly I am not desperate for money to go through the trouble of faking this and risking my reputation. I'm well off and working on a quality bit-project centered around trust. My info is public domain. Not to mention I would only have one shot at faking this correctly or ruin the coin. @blazedout thx for the support, but you'll never get it that cheap! super high res pics are on the way! |

If you can prove to me that heart is not like a marker or something, and its actually engraved or embossed onto the coin Ill bid 7 BTC
I'll think about it. I value the coin more than that. If we do make the trade, I'll go ahead and send it to you first, and if you conclude it's legit, send me the BTC, if not, send it back. It is legit, is it not? You said you were the original buyer of the coin. So either you put it there or you did not. If it can be proven to be legit then I'll up my bid to 7.1 BTCShalom Charlie. I can understand the skepticism but now it's getting annoying. I'm not trolling/pranking anyone. And I don't like some of you discrediting my listing and devaluing my coin. What you see pictured is what I received. After close examination I can say with conviction it's an error that occurred during the gold plating process. It's electro plated and matches the tone and color of the BTC. I would need to go to extreme lengths to fake something like this. The speck just happens to be heart shaped. I didn't notice it at first until placed my coins inside air-tights and went WTF?! When you purchase a roll they don't come in air-tights. Instead you receive them in some elongated pill shaped enclosure with 20 slots which splits open like a BBQ smoker. I emailed Mike and asked him if there is something he can do to help me put your mind at ease. Perhaps I can send it off to him and he can examine it and sign off. Anyway I will have some very high res shots soon. Be patient. Don't be negative. |
