Not sure how much these go for. I believe there were only 100 +/-1000 made. Presenting the 2014 Casascius St. Petersburg Bitcoin Bowl coin, to be used for the coin toss at kickoff!
This 1-ounce limited-edition fine silver medallion commemorates the first professional sporting event to take place under the banner of Bitcoin. It combines the face of the classic Casascius® physical bitcoin with the St. Petersburg Bitcoin Bowl logo on the reverse. Adorned with gold plating on the polished rim, the Bitcoin B, and the bowl logo, this is the only coin to be released by Casascius in the 2014 calendar year. This collectible coin does not contain any private key or digital Bitcoin value.
It comes shipped in a standard openable slab. - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=903503.0If interest is shown, I will post pictures of mine. Album: http://imgur.com/a/wKv4i

There were supposedly 2000 produced although I remember reading somewhere that he scrapped quite a few that did not turn out well and that number is closer to 1100 but I might be wrong and can't find the article for an exact number... Is yours graded or ungraded and what are you looking to get for it?

Ah finally found it from this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1126031.40Quote from: casascius on April 01, 2015, 08:48:25 PM I think this will come as good news to everyone who has bought these: Total circulation drastically dropped - I scrapped about 1,150 of them (out of the initial 2,000 produced) due to being unhappy with the quality and they will not be remade except perhaps as a different future coin. (anything that looked like the uglies posted in this thread in my possession is no longer...)
I kept only the best ones. So I was almost correct, it wasn't 1100 left, it was 1150 were scrapped.

You'll finally be able to repay your loan Perhaps the buyer should send part of the payment (that covers the loan) directly to me?

Need pics and a price Given the loan angle here, ... I would expect escrow. Sellers choice where escrow is released to. But any buyer should not be in between that

I have seen on eBay that the starting price for one of these coins is $140-$175.. So I would like $120 in BTC and you cover shipping costs. If this fails I will sell it on eBay. Posting pictures when I get home today.
You home yet .... ? Lol, sorry mate. Haven't had time to pick up the coin. Will do it this weekend. Probably today.

Hmm all i get is https://i.imgur.com/rf9C1re.pngTried two browsers. Unless I have some crazy adblockers running above and beyond expectation... might be a regional thing?
