[AUCTION] 2013 1/2-oz. silver Casascius .5 BTC piece

[Quickseller]

Ahhh, I see. (I am going to be lazy) Are there any historical sales to show how much this coin is worth? (or what is an estimate as to what this kind of coin is worth)

I sold one for 15 BTC a couple of days ago.

...but I have connections as a seller.

I think only 45 created with series 2 sticker. Would bid but too rich for my blood.

Wow that is quite the premium. I don't think I know of any other coins that fetch a 14.5BTC premium, or even have a crazy seller that is asking that large of a premium.

It is really too bad that I did not get actively involved in bitcoin around a year earlier then I did.

I didn't even ask, the buyer came to me!

From the looks of it, that is not even the only one of those coins that you have.

Well good for the OP, and from the looks of it, good for Blazed

Most of them never sold for over 10BTC though...only Nubbins can get that high of a price lol.

As requested, photo of hologram with date:



I've received a few questions via PM, so for the record:

A) This is the only silver Casascius half that I have to sell.
B) There is not, nor will there be, a buy-it-now price for this coin. The auction will determine the price.

Let's see where this goes!

[Lesbian Cow]

I should've STFU. Jealous of Blazed's deep pockets!

I knew what it was as well and was prepared to send it with my bids.

OP, can you do as Wheelz suggested and take a photo with your username and date showing with the hologram.  Once you do I imagine bids will continue to escalate.

Cheers!

Did you know what you had? I was surprised you did not mention S2 hologram in auction...

Nice photo, I should have read further down thread.

So, I bid 8 then....

No, I didn't. I decided to sell a few coins, and was working my way from the smaller to the larger... lol. Apparently my research was a little spotty.

So I feel a little dumb. And I am a bit excited!

I completely forgot that this coin was in the first entry on my sporadic, occasional bitcoin blog, in July 2013:

Mind telling us what you paid for it originally? I hope you got it for something cheap like 1.5ish

I believe the roll price was 12 coins for 16 BTC, plus shipping. The shipping rate on individual coins was hefty and they cost more too.

[Lesbian Cow]

I expect OTOH and/or ducatalia to arrive shortly.

[GIANNAT]

I might as well be interested, watch for my bid
