Hello,
budget is 2BTC, but I would like to buy more than just one coin. After a lot of hours looking at collectibles and your comments I think more or less now I understand the coin types. I think I prefer casacius as I see they are the popular ones. Just a few questions:
- Some coins have "ERROR" in title. What this mean exactly? is this something bad and its value should be less?
- I read how the coin works. Private key is under the hologram, so if somebody removed it to see private key, in the coin you could appreciate that. Does anybody have examples about this, so if seller send me coin pictures I can see if the hologram was removed or not.
- Last question... some coins for sale have GRADED. As I understand there was some verification from external party that coin has its real btc value inside. How this graded works and how much I can trust on it.
Thanks everybody!
-Error coins are coins that have some kind of visible error. Casascius error coins have a spelling error and are considered more rare, and therefore more valuable. (It isn't the rarest casascius coins out there though) In general, errors normally cost a bit more since they are normally a bit more rare.
-Here is an example of a peeled coin:
