PCGS charges $70 + shipping. Holy crap.
I usually join their Platinum Club each year I want to get coins graded. It is $249. You receive a bunch of things, including 8 submissions. This brings the price down to about $32 a coin.
Yeah, the vouchers give $40 off per coin, which is the cost of their Regular Tier service... a nice bonus I guess And yes, $70 grade fee (mandatory for crypto/bitcoin related items), $10 handling fee, $10 ship to fee and $27 return shipping fee (more if you have more coins/over certain value) Don't know if I was told correctly, but I was told by PCGS I couldn't use the vouchers to subtract from the $70 because Express was in a higher tier than Regular. From 14 Feb 2025: "Thank you for contacting PCGS Customer Care. Our Gold and Platinum Membership Vouchers are only valid for the Regular service for coins valued $2,500 or less. This would not qualify for Special Issues or Express service." Did something change between then and now? Maybe... from what I get, PCGS customer service is all over the place.. zero consistency. I sent in a Kialara for another collector and they slabbed it backwards... collector contacted PCGS and they replied that the original submitter requested this. LIES!! lol.. why would I do that? again... showing that it's all a money grab for them. Zero consistency. And for the vouchers, I could swear that they allowed you to use them using the online submission form.. but I am probably wrong, as I still see 2x unclaimed vouchers in my account. I submitted eight physical bitcoins last year and the year before. No problems at all. The vouchers covered them. I did not ask for any special services (errors, etc.) |

Surfer - Are you familiar with Physical Bitcoins? Casascius, BTCC Lealana, etc.?
BTCC has already been mentioned for it's rare sat value, but there are so many physical bitcoins that have incredibly well identified early sats. A bitcoin on a 2011 Casascius coin qualifies right? I think the answer you may be looking for here in this section of the forum is yes, almost every member here has a drawer full of specialty sats.

You rare Sat hunters are missing out on the the REALLY RARE Sats. BTCC items are loaded with virgin bitcoin... mined directly to the coins/chips. Forget about names etc... virgin Sats for the win IMO.
Good luck in your hunting.
I agree. These are pure, organic free-range Bitcoins with a historical Bitcoin artifact holding them. |

At Xapo, we’ve seen first-hand how early Bitcoiners face this exact dilemma:
I have no real experience with Xapo, but from just anecdotal impressions, they seem good. I am pulling for any business trying to honestly promote Bitcoin and help bitcoiners. This dude above seems like a full on imposter though. July 1st 2025 registration to the forum, no interactions or trust. It will be interesting to see how many scam artists show up before this thread goes dormant. Hey, yes we are new here, our first post but have been around since 2013 just not active here previously but we are looking to change that. We have also just started being active on reddit, something we have not been up until 4 months ago. Happy to answer any questions over on Twitter (X) though for any validation. This is good to hear. Welcome to the forum. |

Bumping this just because it has been a couple of years since I have updated it. There are certainly more articles every year, but most just are regurgitations of "What is physical Bitcoin?" Looking forward to growth when there are more stories, history written.

This explainer video was / is needed. My experience is that most people have no idea how physical bitcoins work.
