Put me down for one of these, too.

I am very disappointed that the people who paid in full months ago were not give even a week to reserve a copy of the collectors signature edition. If you had offered a deluxe version from the beginning, I would have bought that instead.
The signature editions were only offered to people who had already prepaid and the rest were not going to be offered to the general public until 4/11, but because demand was much higher than 25 among the pre-buyers they sold out within a few hours. Maybe he could have limited it to one signature edition per buyer to give more people a chance though.

This is a thread to list out the various coins that I would be interested in buying to have in my collection. I've seen many of these come up for sale or auction, but I was either not available to purchase or it was a price I wasn't quite willing to spend. I'll entertain all asking prices, just shoot me a PM or reply to this thread. For some I will pay a higher premium than others based on the rarity or condition of the coin. WTB the following: - 2011 Casascius 1 BTC Series 2 (this is not the error coin but the one that came after it).
- 25 BTC redeemed/peeled Casascius coin
- 2014 Cryptonic Monero silver coin
- BHCoins (interested in any of these, I don't currently own any)
- 2015 Kialara Gold
- Crypto Imperator 100k Silver Dogecoin
- TGBEX 0.5 or 1 BTC
- Titan 0.5 or 1 BTC
If we agree on a price and you have good forum trust + send a picture with your username/date on it, then we shouldn't need escrow. Otherwise I prefer Blazed for escrow. Shipping would be to the USA, so factor that in if you're outside US and providing a quote.

Has the error coin been reduced yet? These will become increasingly more difficult to sell as the BTC price goes up. I'm not sure I follow that logic. Higher BTC price = more people who own BTC. More people who own BTC = more collectors. 2011 Casascius coins were the first ever coins minted for Bitcoin and they are becoming rare to see for sale. How does demand for these coins go down if BTC price goes up? What is there not to understand? The higher the BTC price, the more 5 BTC is worth. If BTC goes to $1,200, who would spend $6,000 on a Cas coin. This multiples, the higher BTC goes. The way I look at it, no matter what you spend on a Casascius coin, you are buying 1 BTC (or whatever the face value of the coin is) and also paying a premium for the collectors value and rarity. A few years ago that premium would have costed you much less in terms of dollars, perhaps much more in terms of BTC. It fluctuates with the exchange value of BTC, I will agree with that. If BTC goes to the moon, maybe you would be better off holding all of that premium in Bitcoin. The collectors value of the item would still go up, but probably not 100% equivalent to the increase in price of bitcoin. However if the BTC price remains flat or goes down, it's likely that the collectors value of a Casascius will still increase as we've seen over the past few years. One strategy is to buy a Casascius and then buy more BTC to replace whatever premium you paid in dollars. That way, you can maximize your ROI while still enjoying to your hobby of collecting coins. After all, these coins are not for everybody

Very nice coins. If you are in US I would be interested in purchasing one of either of these. Please PM me with the asking price once you arrive at a number.

No block source available on wallet, and the blockchain explorer is down. How do I start up a wallet??

Also how does know how to go about in getting the public key?
Type the first eight digits of the public key into http://blockr.io/ You'll be able to see the TX when it was originally funded, containing the rest of the address.
