Good luck all. Will be fun to watch this play out!Mehhhh! Learning as I go! 3.1 BTC  Sincerely, Moby Dick Nearly missed the edit. But a valid bid at 3.1. Thank you very much TY! I'm still learning as I go my friend(s). Infact when I submitted the edit I myself was like WTF why didn't the thread get bumped to the top?!???, then I just assumed an edit doesn't bump it but certainly time stamps it. Anyhow I'm only content to win this fair and square if I'm even in the running. I suspect the Seaworld squad is gonna come out swinging later today and Sunday. I've got my caramel popcorn, some BTCs and access to a favorite lady friend to console me incase I don't get there. Either way I'm swimming with my head up high here #orca style!  Moby |

What makes this coin so special to me is it actually became one of the few first day funded physical bitcoins in existence.
Making it the FIRST PHYSICALLY LOADED BITCOIN COINS ever. I have been hunting one of these for years and to see it come to the light of day
is very rare. I was fortunate to buy some Cas coins on ebay and by doing my research found I owned a 2nd day loading Casascius coin.
The seller told me these coins were being handed out for free at a Bitcoin gathering or festival. All this to educate people on what bitcoin is.
He was not even aware of the importance of the funding date. That being said I wonder how many still exist in collections, lost or thrown away over time.
That same story happens in other collectables when items that were not deemed collectable were tossed away. Making them so much rarer later on.
To see one in auction and being sodl by Monkey for Zephers sake, is amazing. My hats off to you my friend.
I really loved this summarization and I also really have come to love this community. I'm new but man you guys really step up for each other. I didn't know Zeph but to see you all band together and continue to try and help his family out is just awesome beyond words. So I'm honored to be bidding for such a wonderful cause and a phenomenal coin no doubt. And who knows I might even get lucky and win. Either way it's all been such an enjoyable experience getting to know you all from this vantage point. |

 Otoh the whale grabs Krogos boat from underneath knocking the harpoon out of his Krogoth's hand, rips the high bid from the other hand and snaps the boat into smithereens! As Otoh the whale leaves with the prized high bid, as a weary tired Captain Krogo wading in water makes a fist and shouts angrily "" We shall meet again someday you pesky whale and things will be different!" Defeated Captain Krogo looks on as the whale swims away over the horizon out of reach...for now! LMAO! Bravo!!!! 2.55 BTC just for another amazing Moby Dick style story or I get the coin. Win win for me! |

2 BTC or not to BTC Bid is now 2 BTC  many thanks for doing this MN! Thanks to monkeynuts for this proceeds auction.
An interesting (dated) coin indeed.
2.3BTC
Welp...I'm assuming I stand no chance now. It's been fun gents but I'll likely be bowing out and buying a new pair of binoculars to enjoy the whales splashing the seas. All the best and happy to see this going for such a great cause! |

It looks good but can also be photoshopped..a simple paper with username and date scribbled and the coin. That simple
Um. Ok, but isn't it too late for this? I mean, if I had done that in the original post, maybe that would have some validity. But now that the image of the collectible is in my first post in this thread couldn't anybody, me included, just take that image and photoshop a "paper with username and date scribbled" next to or on top of the image? I don't mean to be obtuse or oppositional, but I must be missing something. I am just not seeing how that would validate my claim of ownership. But sure, I can do this (hmm now Imgur inline images are suddenly showing for this post. go figure):  Hi Hashmap, Very sorry for your loss. How much are you asking for the coin? iBHK |

I'm new to this community but to see such an outpouring of love and condolences to Zeph has been nothing short of amazing. It shows me how much this man was loved and what great character he must have had as a person. It's a beautiful thing to see so many people step up and have such regards and so many fond memories for someone. Zeph we never met but I hope you're in a better place. Condolences to his family. This family and his immediate family. RIP Z!

How about the most important part..... the price??  Does it matter? We want one LOL...so true! You guys are crazy! Price is all that matters. Yeah you're right...I guess I'm coming from the as long as it's reasonable realm then the price will be justified. Of course Elias and the market itself will truly set that for us. Cheers everyone. |

This sounds great. I'm definitely looking forward to both the book and the coin! As a newbie your previous book/guide was priceless for me. Best of luck getting it finished. I'll be tuned to this thread awaiting further details!

Nice collection. I'm gonna go through them and see if there's something I want. I'm new to the community here and have been looking for some Casascius coins so hopefully you have something I'm looking for. Might I suggest you create/post an itemized list to give viewers a general overview of what you got since it's so much and from first glance it appears to cover so many different items. Even a simple text breakdown would be helpful and you can get as simple or as creative with reference list as you want but I would think it would definitely improve your overall goal here. Just my 2bits  . All the best! |
