I bought a few casascius coins and the public key checks out put when I enter the private key into armory it says looks like this block contains no funds.

It's pretty impressive that Casascius has never had any PR issues.

To do this right it takes someone who is meticulous.  Who both in procedure and practice builds a system which has a 0% error rate.

Thankfully Casascius is that guy.  I have seen a half dozen threads like this and they all ended up being typos.  It is pretty easy to do since the writing is very small.  A good magnifying glass helps.    It would be nice if clients and websites stated "this is an invalid private key" as opposed to incorrectly stating the "balance/value is zero".  There is a reason for the SHA256 check (ignored by AFAIK every website and client).

bitaddress.org does check.
