Does that have some more value then the 25 Bitcoins?

I'm ready to sell, if anyone is interested here.

Thanks!

Nice coin.  Make sure you are offering escrow for this otherwise you wont get any hits.  Small market for these particular coins but at the right price it should go

What's the approximate price?
Just want to know if all this making picture etc is worth it

Thats about right.  These coins carry the least % of premium over all the other cas coins.  But still worth it (dont peel)

Okay, I was thinking more like a 100g of gold premium,
but seems it needs few more years for that

Thanks for answers!

ahh no mate - these arent pure gold...

if you can afford to - then keep it, that thing will be worth a fortune after the next halving.

The premium on a 25 has historically been low, even when BTC was in the $200's.  There's just not a big premium on the 25's and 5's, you'll pay proportionally much higher for the .5 and 1 BTC coins, and exponentially higher for the 0.1 silver.  The problem is that there's not too many people who can pop off purchase of a 25 today.  Back when they were introduced, yeah, many could afford them at the time.  Now with BTC where it is, very few would be willing to part with that much fiat to buy one, and anyone who has that much in BTC is not willing to part with that much of a premium.

Also, premiums are usually calculated in BTC, not tied to fiat or PM's, so a 0.5 BTC premium today will still be a 0.5 BTC premium tomorrow.  The only thing is what BTC is comparable to at that time.  So, it will be a very long time before that premium could be turned around to buy you 100g of gold, but either way it's still a 0.5 BTC premium.

If you want to sell it for the premiums mentioned, PM me.  It's worth that premium to keep someone from peeling it, but not much beyond that unfortunately.

I offer 26BTC for it

Good, it's already a double from 0.5BTC
That will make me do pictures in coming days.

By the way I am the original buyer of the coin.

I've seen some of these sell for over 30 BTC, take your time they are very rare coins.

yes 3-4 years ago, not now bud...  some are asking 30 - but they still have them years later..

Why do you want to get rid of it?

Are you in desperate need of $31,000+ in cash? If so, just redeem it.

If an additional $5,000-$7,500 would be helpful you should try to sell the coin, loaded, to a collector. This forum is a good place to find that investor but you'll need to do some real searching to find a buyer. You can't just post a picture and say - what will you give me for this?

Today it's worth $31,750 without a premium and without a buyer!

The last 2 sold went for much less... 26.5 and 27 (Bitcoin was sub $700 at the time). I have not seen one of these sell for over 27 since 2013/2014.

Why would he redeem it when he can easily sell it to me? Anyways, I need pictures to check out the condition of the coin etc...

Yes, besides throwing away money he would also be destroying a piece of Bitcoin's history.  Sell it, don't peel it.

Just curious, what do you guys consider the rarest of Casascius coins? I'm looking to start a collection and want to start with the high end. Obviously not considering the 1k coins

The rarest is the 1000 BTC 1oz gold round.  My personal favorite is the all silver 10 BTC coin, but as far as rarity goes, a good place to start might be the all silver 0.1 or 0.5 coins, or perhaps the 2011 S2 coin without the hologram error.

Thanks, yeah can't afford (or probably find) the 1000btc, but the 25btc and down is doable.
