Hi,
I am looking for the signature space of Hero Members and members with a high daily post count. It would require your entire signature. It is to advertise my new site, bitcoinnumismatists.com. The best candidates (Hero Members, highest post counts) will receive one silver dime mailed to you (its only appropriate). If you are not a Hero Member and still are interested in making some easy bitcoins, PM me and we can work something out.
Thanks!

Check out the number of Casascius coins on eBay. I was surprised at the number. Also, I would think they'd be selling for more (considering I sold a blank 5 BTC coin for $121 . Some of the asking prices I have to laugh at, too. 10,000 for a 10 BTC coin. I wonder too about the safety of sending them. Yes, there is a physical aspect involved (making it safer). But couldn't a customer say they received the coin and there was no hologram on it? I think it'd be pretty important for the seller to establish that while the item is in-transit (as confirmed by tracking), it has its bitcoin value (confirmed via FirstBits on blockchain). Although, I suppose you could take the holo off and redeem it after the package arrives. Something about Bitcoins and eBay/PayPal...I don't think a relationship was ever meant to be.

Hi,
I am interested in acquiring an iPad Mini, preferably, or a regular iPad. I want the WiFi-only version. I really want a brand new one, in box, never opened. Although, if you have one that is very lightly used and still in immaculate condition I will consider it. Also, I want a keyboard to go with it-so if you have a new iPad and accessories lying around (gift maybe), turn it into something valuable! I have Series 2 and Series 3, 1 BTC Casascius coins. I also have a lot of silver and gold. And of course, regular bitcoins and cash. I won't post a price range on here considering all the possibilities there are of making a deal w/the aforementioned. Please PM me if you have one and are interested.
Thanks!

Like the title says, I'm looking for something-small-that I can throw in with a customer's order (because thats the kind of salesman I am lol). Key word is 1)cheap, 2) cool
looking for qty 25 just to start off with.
If you sell any products like that, please reply with a link, PM me, whatever.
Thanks!

Hi everybody,
Up for sale I have a 2 Reales, NGC Certified Shipwreck coin. Although 8 Reales coins (pieces of are higher priced, there were actually less smaller denomination coins recovered from the wreck. As you do your due-diligence, DO NOT consider this eBay listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nice-1783-Two-2-Reales-El-Cazador-Shipwreck-Silver-Coin-NGC-COA-Collector-Gift-/261142786544?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item3ccd52b1f0
That is a stock photo that they are using. I ordered a coin from that exact listing and it was GARBAGE. You could not make out any digits of the date, the text was almost impossible to read and the pillars and crown/coat of arms on the back of the coin were virtually non-existent. Thank god they had a return policy. I initiated the return the same day I received the coin, very disappointed.
But, I won a listing for another 2 Reales coin (one that was NOT a stock photo) and have been quite happy with it. The digits of the date are readable, and the obverse side of the coin is in immaculate condition-that was the selling point for me. I'll let you decide what you think from these pictures. Also, below is the story of "El Cazador-The Ship That Changed the World". I am asking which includes shipping anywhere in the US, and is less than I paid for the coin. If you are international and interested in the coin, PM me and we can work something out.
Thanks!






The El Cazador (meaning The Hunter in English) was a Spanish brig that sank in the Gulf of Mexico in 1784. On October 20, 1783 it was sent by Charles III of Spain on a mission to bring much-needed hard currency to the Spanish colony of Louisiana. The ship sailed to Veracruz, Mexico, where it was loaded with approximately 450,000 Spanish reales.[1] King Carlos III enlisted his most trusted captain, Gabriel de Campos y Pineda, to captain the ship.[2] On January 11, 1784, it sailed for New Orleans, and was never heard from again.[3][4] Spain’s attempts to locate the ship were unsuccessful and in June 1784, El Cazador was officially listed as missing at sea.[2]

Then, on August 2, 1993, the trawler Mistake, while fishing in the Gulf of Mexico fifty miles south of New Orleans, hung its net on a snag. The trawler was captained by Jerry Murphy and its home port was Pascagoula, Mississippi. When the crew hoisted the net and dumped the contents on the deck, they found the net was filled with silver coins. The coins bore markings from the Spanish mint in Mexico, along with the date 1783.[5][6]

So this is a prety n00b question, and I'm pretty sure I already know the answer, but I figured why not ask anyway? Regarding physical wallets, is there ANY way to redeem only a portion of your coins? Like, say my paper wallet had 5 BTC in it. Is there any way I could redeem only 3 and keep 2 on there, or would I need to just generate a new keypair to do that?

that Mt. Gox used to be a Magic The Gathering site? No lie.

Hey,
So I have a bunch of bitcoin-oriented domains that have sold for a good amount (ezbitcoin.com, ezbitcoins.com, defiat.com, defiat.org, littlebitcoin.com and a lot more). I have a pretty solid one in mind that I know there'd be someone willing to pay a good amount for. I am asking .01 for the suggestion, and I can point you in the direction of a site offering year-long domain registration for 50 cents. If you ask to hear the suggestion, don't pay and buy the domain, I will obviously be able to tell, and will present all correspondence to make sure you get a scammer tag. If you want to make a solid investment for .01 BTC and 50 cents, PM me!

Just as the title says, I'm looking for someone who's willing to take on a project full-force. That includes putting forth the time, money, etc.  I have an idea (actualy slightly more than an idea). If interested, please PM me.

I have had recent success with numismatic items I've posted on here and on BitMit. So, I figured I'd try to list some more. Up for sale here is a 1963 Proof Franklin Half Dollar. 1963 is the last year these were made-they began minting the Kennedy half in 1964. This is a proof coin-I received it in the mint packaging. I cut it out of the mint packaging (with gloved hands) because old mint plastic tends to tone silver coins undesirably. So, this coin has literally never been touched by human hands-at least since 1963 (although I bet they wore gloves back then . I am asking for this coin, including trackable shipping anywhere in the US. If you are international and are interested in this coin, PM me and we can figure out a shipping arrangement.
Thanks!




**note: Any imperfections you might notice are on the exterior of the plastic holder. The coin itself is flawless.

My sig is taken, but my picture and quote below are up for grabs to the highest bidder. I'm a very active Hero Member

First of all, I am amazed at how much original Casascius coins are going for. But I guess its a good thing-shows people think bitcoin is here to stay if they're already spending so much on a collector's item.
Anyways, my question is in regards to coin "Series"
I thought it was pretty simple-original 2011 coins are Series 1, the first windowed coins were produced in 2011 and 2012-Series 2, and 2013 coins are slightly different from Series 2, making them Series 3. Is this correct?
Also, does anyone expect Series 2 (2012) coins to become a collector's item and worth even half as much as an original 2011 coin (because I have a bunch of those

So I collect a coins, primarily, but every once in a while I'll get some paper bills if they look interesting/are a good deal.

As bitcoins continue to rise, we (or me at least) are engaging in transactions that are primarily a fraction of 1 bitcoin. The future might somehow change that. Casascius is making 0.5 BTC coins.

Anyways, I went through my bill collection and picked a bunch out that are worth MAYBE $1. I noticed a lot of them were "cent/centavo" bills (which means why they aren't worth much-think of all the pennies in circulation).

So, I started loading ones that say "1 Centavo" with 1 bitcent. And I loaded a "5 Centavo with 5 bitcents. I thought they were pretty cool-great as a conversation starter, gift to an acquaintance, etc. A good amount of the bills posted aren't cent notes. All you have to do is get creative with those. Every foreign bill has a number on it-which is all you need to work with. Examples: "1 Pound" bill equals a bitcoin, or 1 Dinar can be 1 bitcent-I'm sure you see how the possibilites are endless by now.

I said "offering" to the community because as best as I could, I calculated postage, envelopes, holograms, etc and am therefore only asking $1.50 for one. The $1.50 includes free shipping and a hologram.

I'm sure most of you know how to make a physical wallet. But, for those who don't its very simple.
1) go to bitaddress.org, click bulk wallet, and in "rows to generate" just put 1-because you are only looking to make one keypair because you have just one bill
2) hit "generate". backup ALL the data (digits that appear).
3. The second large set of numbers (figured by commas) is your private key. Hide it likes it gold-but keep it accesible.
4. go to barcodesinc.com/generator/qr/ Although, you can use any QR code generating site but thats my favorite, easiest to use
5. paste your private key into the box and hit create. save the barcode (saves as a picture file)
7. On a word processor program, insert the image that is the barcode and resize it-make it no bigger than .62''x.62''.
8. Print and cutout QR code with as little empty space as possible around the borders of the code.
9. take your QR holo and with the blank side against the sticky side of the holo, and the inked side looking out, apply it as centered on the holo as possible.
10. Now just stick the hologram wherever you want on your physical wallet and press-and-seal.
11. Congrats! You made it! To fund it, just use the public address you got when you originally generated the keypair. You can put literally how little or how many bitcoins you want on it.
12. To redeem (there are other ways, but I use this)-go to MtGox.com. You have to create an account (if you don't already have one). Go to “Funding Options, Add Funds, and scroll to the bottom to select “redeem private key”. And all you do is put the key in there, hit redeem and you get a notification that the funds will be sent to your wallet on MtGox. Don't be alarmed, it can take a few hours for the funds to show up on there.

If anyone wants to avoid the trouble above, I'll do it for $2 ()
Otherwise, for $1.50 ( ) you get the bill of your choice and an unused hologram mailed right to you.

International: $2.60 ()-to compensate for additional postage

If interested, please let me know which bill you'd like. I cannot guarantee any specific bill will be available, but feel free to ask first.

Thanks!

Got your attention. Anyway, I had an idea when I saw an old bill and it said "redeemable for gold" where the "this legal tender..." is on a US bill today.

I like doing this stuff. Plus I like the idea of spreading the truth of the Fed.

Its a sticky label right over it. This was the FIRST one I made (and I'm kind of intoxicated), so I can guarantee future ones will look better.

Anyways, I will send the first 3 people who post a sticker or two to put on bills you might encounter.

wouldn't it be cool to have a reusable physical bitcoin? I know how to make one myself, but I'm talking one on the level of Casascius coins. The only problem I can think of is that users would have to have access to the private key (so they could redeem multiple times). Does this sound like a good idea to anyone else? Casascius coins are valuable as collector's items-maybe some people collect used coins, but most people wouldn't spend money on a redeemed coin-they would want the hologram (bitcoin) in tact. Something like a reusable coin would solve this problem. Only 2 issues-access to the private key, as mentioned, and getting the coin to the level of Casascius coins in terms of hype (probably not an easy task lol).
