Casascius 25 BTC 2011 -- anyone interested?

[Gatorelf]

Thats a decent offer by Blazed if you just need to cash out without destroying the coins numismatic value... $1,200 premium currently

Its tough to find collectors ( like they were saying) that can afford coins in this range. I have a decent stash now and I'm hoping in 3 to 5 years the numismatic value will catch on with investors and boooom out pace the BTC value. Right now its a bitcoin enthusiast market but eventually coin collectors will start coming out of the wood work.. imo

good luck !  Its history

Need pics.  Need to know if series 1 or series 2.

I offer 26BTC for it

Big offer to make without seeing the condition of the coin.

Well, I assumed the pictures in OP were his, but they are not. Obviously my offer requires pictures of both sides of the coin etc...I am also only interested if it is series 1 like the pictures....

It would be worth the offer especially if it looks like the one in the picture, beautiful and all shiny looks brand new.

Let's wait and see if the OP puts some pics with his username displayed first before anyone gets their hopes up.

Why do you want to get rid of it?

Because of https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions

That's counterintuitive brother. You want to sell stored BTC for BTC that could get hung up in the network? squirrel that bitch away for a few years and be merry.

[Hellot]

I think we might have been trolled.

[Otoh]

If it's a series 1 & the pics show it to be in great condition, I'll offer 26.5 BTC for it

I'm going to assume he doesn't have one until we actually see a photo.

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...

Agreed, at least sell it to Blazed!

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

Destroying a piece of history, definitely. Making the remaining coins many of us own slightly more rare, definitely. And the latter impacts me slightly more than the former.

It's amazing how a 1BTC coin commands, literally commands, a 2x and higher asking pricing.

To the OP (troll?) I'm happy to offer free escrow! Give me a chance to earn some trust! (Blazed and OG, keep your disdain to yourself! Hahaha)

I get your enthusiam to escrow but seriously.  $30k+ usd to a username.  Its not gonna happen, start trying lower.  Im not being mean, really im not, but blazed or otah or whoever else offers on this coin is not going to send you that amount of btc....start lower otherwise people are going to think you have another motive.

Yeah, I know, I know. I've been inquiring on other forum boards to handle significantly smaller transactions...no takers yet.

You haven't even completed a successful trade/sale and have ZERO trust rating.....  I would sooner give my money to Quickseller  the devil....

Technically, you don't know that to be true. You only know that I any trades I've handled haven't been document through the Forum's trust ratings. More to the point though...it was mostly a joke, so...

[buckrogers]

I not sure why the OP hasn't posted any pics yet?

The thread was created just about 2 days ago, right?

OP, if you legitimately own this coin, it would be in your best interest to post a pic as soon as possible before any more doubt is cast upon your shadow.

As far as escrowing for a coin of this value, I would think it would be for both the buyer and seller's best interest to use a long standing trusted escrow.

thanks!

Okay, the pictures:

Has the shortcode printed on the hologram side been smudged ?

No.
I think a drop of water/liquid has gotten there and that's the reason one letter is a bit worn-out.
Little trace of the same ink is visible on the plastic package the coin is in.

I have one of these too that I'd be willing to sell. But it's in much worse shape than this one. I tried selling it on OB, but no takers. The one in this thread looks like a gem. Anyhow, people with more than 25 bitcoins are hard to come by. I may end up defunding mine.

IF BTC moons, these will be really hard to sell for anything but Fiat.
