[WTS] 2011 Casascius Series 1 (Error Coin)

[BitBank]

Coin was acquired back in 2012 at porcfest.  It was actually exchanged for a hamburger.  It's been sitting in a drawer ever since. 

Looking to get 1.5 btc for it. 

Shipping: US shipping is included. Buyer pays international shipping. Escrow welcome, but fees must be paid by the buyer.

nice deal you got there for a hamburger lol

[chronicsky]

Nice coin!
Interested!
can i get better pictures of the front?

also would you be interested in taking 3 hamburgers for it instead of btc ?

This story is better than the 10,000 bitcoin for 2 large pizzas story from back in 2010. This story is an actual direct exchange of bitcoin for goods received...for the hamburger. The pizza story is really bitcoin payment to another bitcoin enthusiast in return for them ordering a pizza for you...it doesn't represent some unique early, real exchange for goods and services.

The coin looks clean! 1.5 BTC is quite a fair price. Someone should be on this quick!

It does have a very interesting history indeed.  Erik Voorhees used this coin to pay for food at porcfest in 2012.  I wasn't selling the food, but the vendor who sold the burger didn't know what to do with the bitcoin, so I gave him $7 for it.  The exchange rate on Gox at the time was about 6 change IIRC.

Will update if / when it is sold.

Since I am bidding asking price and no response, this bid will be valid for 1 hour.

What is the error on the coin? The date year? Off by a year maybe?
Not familiar with physical bitcoins in noticing such things which would be more apparent to most here.
Sorry for my ignorance in the matter.
But would still like to be in the know cause fiat coins shown error make it more valuable if not for the one for bitcoins.

The name "Casascius" is spelled wrong on the hologram.

Yes, it's spelled correctly with the large "casascius" printed on the back, but on the part of the hologram where the word is repeating in the background it's spelled "casacius".

I've had 3 offers come in for 1.5.  I will propose that first offer of 1.6 will take it.  If I don't receive an offer of 1.6 by the end of the day today, it will go to the first 1.5 offer I received, and so on.  

A note on the condition - I haven't really tried cleaning / retouching it.  There are a few spots on the front of the coin as you can see in the photo, but I figured someone else might be better at cleaning it up than I.

Why not have an auction?

Yeah
That was going to be my next suggestion.
But you seem to have more experience on this topic.

Auction would be the next step to be done.

Auctions realize the best price, in my opinion.  They are also fun for the entire family.

Don't clean the coin, leave it as is.

Looks like it was sold in an eBay auction today for $3k.

Hmm interesting business tactics.

Offers here to first bid of 1.5btc. Get several offers, so ups the price to 1.6btc.

Posts instead on ebay. Sells for 3000usd within 3 hours of listing. Less 10% ebay and 3% paypal fees, 2610usd. At current exchange rate: ~1.5btc.
