There were approx 50 of the 2FA unfunded gold coins made, and about 5 funded ones, so I would consider this the rarest coin.

Well it depends. IMHO there is a difference between Gold coins funded/2FA.

Would be nice to see a picture of the 0.5btc coin.

I haven't seen any publicly listed since your last sale thread.

I'll be curious to see what this fetches in this economy.

 The collectible market has not yet definitively decided on the most critical question -  Will premiums hold in US dollars or bitcoin? However, momentum from the first two months of this extended rally have been encouraging.

 In reverse time order and size denomination, premiums have begun reinflating to their original premiums. At this point that is true up to the one bit coin silver pieces.

 Additionally, legacy pieces have begun to show on the market and establish baseline prices. If the trend that was true in 0.1, 0.5, and one holds true, he who sells first loses and prices will continue to reinflate.

 So far on the slightly more limited mintage scale, we have seen a 25 BTC  set still available for a steel. A 100 BTC bar of mintage 16 but it was extremely questionable so it was cold. And a successful sale of one of the big bills sets, of which there are a few hundred.

 Behind the scenes, talks have begun for the mintage five redeemed 1000 bitcoin bar, and mintage two, 500 bitcoin bar.
 It is currently a sellers market, and those with the luxury of deciding which pieces they want to part with, are finally going to let go of a few.

 I think if the next few months go well, and the community continues to prevent fraud of high ticket items, we have a really good chance of establishing a new, broader base  within the collectible market. Aggressive high net worth individuals are beginning to put small portions into highly speculative plays such as these low mintage originals.

 I wish you the best of luck on future sales!

I don't even think coblee is asking that much on his gold casascius coins anymore..

[nubbins]

I'd like to apologize to frustrated buyers for driving up the price of these things
