Companies claiming they got hacked and lost your coins sounds like fraud so perfect it could be called fashionable.  I never believe them.  If I ever experience the misfortune of a real intrusion, I declare I have been honest about the way I have managed the keys in Casascius Coins.  I maintain no ability to recover or reproduce the keys, not even under limitless duress or total intrusion.  Remember that trusting strangers with your coins without any recourse is, as a matter of principle, not a best practice.  Don't keep coins online. Use paper or hardware wallets instead.

For privacy, will not be publishing ownership history of the item.  I warrant that I have the authority to conduct the sale.

The money goes directly to eff?

As I understand it, the remitting of funds is straight from PayPal to EFF after a delay to allow for returns and such.  Also I understand eBay and PayPal forego their cut and remit 100% without fees as EFF is a charity they've approved for their "eBay Giving Works" program.  This is the first time I've ever done this so I'm going by what I've read (besides getting assistance from EFF to ensure the auction was properly registered as benefiting them), if anyone knows differently feel free to chime in.

I would appreciate it if you kept your giant bids off of this auction and let us have a chance. Wink

If you want to donate a large amount still do it though  Tongue

Strange, on the ebay website it says it doesn't ship to the UK like steelboy has pointed out. But on my phone app it says it ships to GBR  Undecided

Nice piece of history, how many of these were ever made?

I have a bunch of bars and coins, maybe it's time to sell some. No 1000s though unfortunately.   Smiley
