I would be very interested to see what one would end up selling for.

IMO this is the most likely place to find an owner of one

A got a couple I can part with........

No really that would be amazing if you found one.  Not messing around with your collecting huh.

Oh i would also possibly be interested in redeemed 1000btc coin, but i am particularly interested in funded one.

[Hellot]

I have a hard time believing anyone holding one of these is interested at this price.  There are only a few active in the world.

I would also love to get my hands on a redeemed one.

Goat privately sold for somewhere around one million dollars? All I heard was rumors.

That is what I recall tho.

It looks like between the coins and the bars, there are only a total of 5 unredeemed in existence. If you were to include redeemed bars/coins, your total would jump by an additional 16.

According to this thread (the OP) one sold a while back for 1,250 BTC, which at the time was worth roughly $1,000,000.

I would think that due to it's extremely high price that it would tend to sell at a somewhat lower premium as very few people would be able to afford it, however the above appears to not be the case

The goat did sell 1 for 1 million dollars (part cash part BTC). The goat also still owns 1 more...not sure who else owns one, but I do know someone who was offered one for an insane price last year.

Goat hasn't been online since 2014, do you know any way i could reach him?

[Blazed]

He is banned, but if you are serious about buying one I can try to get in touch with a person who might still have one.

Would you believe that 2 of the 5 of these BTC1000 coins have been redeemed?! Craziness. You might need to show up some proof that you have the $250,000 to cover the face value of this one, let alone the premium that one would charge.

Good luck in you hunt, maybe call Southeby's.

I know there's a 100 btc redeemed bar on ebay:

I'm sure the ebay store is operated by someone on here, I just cant remember who I'm afraid.

Good luck with your search anyway .

If I remember rightly Zhou Tong of Bitcoinica infamy said he had one and it would be his last remnant of his time in bitcoinland.

Whether he's worth believing is another matter.

A fantastic thing to own but seriously unwieldy to offload. You might be able to buy a small country with it in the years to come.

[cyclops]

Only 5 coins in existence, if I recall correctly...

Surely the "holy grail" of physical bitcoins. Good luck in your search!

[jdebunt]

Wish I had bought one of those back in the day.....We can only hope someone wants to auction it off, It'll surely fetch a nice price

[miffman]

*Apparently* bitmarket.io has one. At least that's what he told me. I asked for pics and he disappeared so I can't say for sure. It won't hurt to ask I guess.

What do you think is fair range price for funded 1k coin nowadays ?

Lord knows. I think Goat asked $50,000 for an unfunded one. Traditionally the higher the denomination, the lower the premium but this one would be a very special case. The pool of potential buyers would be rather minute though.

That's the million dollar question I suppose. I can't remember any high value coins or bars being sold for a long time.

But I do know the rarer they are the higher the premiums are put on so I would hate to think how much one's worth.
