[WTS] My Casascius Collection

[wheelz1200]

I have not yet seen a complete coin/holo set together in one place, but I'm pretty sure one exists... somewhere... I guess 

I wouldn't be too sure.  As far as I know there's only 5 people in the world currently holding 1000 BTC coins with intact holograms.

Well, there can be only one full set.

To be clear, only 1 500BTC bar exists.  Only two were made, and one was redeemed.

 Technically, the one full set would require both 500 BTC bars, as they are from different versions.
 I happened to know that the 500 BTC bar which is redeemed, still has its peeled sticker in place :-)

 Far more likely, two sets will eventually be made, one with the redeemed, one with the unredeemed.

 I expect coblees 1000 coins to be silently acquired over the coming month.

Dont know if the funded 500 ever sold but id like to think if one semi complete set was made that would be a feat.

One other question for you - do you keep your collection on display? I'd love to have my collection on display but given the face value of each there's a lot of incentive for some acquaintance visitor to get some sticky fingers. I feel like I'd need a museum-strong locking glass case to feel comfortable leaving these beauties out to be appreciated each day.

Hell no.  If you saw the lengths I have to go through to access these coins, you would understand what true paranoia is.  I value this part of my coin collection at well over a hundred grand, and I take appropriate precautions to make sure that it's well protected.

 Perhaps I could guess you choose the Ron Swanson route to protect your collections?  ( this will make sense if you're a Parks and Rec fan)

hahah , that's awesome !

Ok I see now...that makes sense..But can they not just go the the uberbills website and send everyone there that amount and theoretically dust every loaded coin? And when he says properly manage a Bitcoin Wallet, what does that mean? Does it mean just black out the FirstBits? And if someone does dust you, can't you just take out the extra BTC added? Thankyou again for your time

They can dust the coins, but it would be expensive and pointless.  You can easily exclude inputs from outgoing transactions, so getting dusted isn't a real issue.  

If someone did feel like dusting coins, there's a nice list of available targets here:

How do you exclude inputs? I've never heard of this. Especially since you don't actually have the priv key...

I have googled my heart out and I cant find any way to prevent receiving bitcoins to an address, is there anyway you can explain it to me or link me to somewhere or make a post on your thread about it because this is the first time I am hearing it is possible to not receive sent bitcoins (that of course where sent with a high enough tx fee)

You can't stop someone from sending you BTC, but that doesn't mean you have to spend it...

People think that by dusting an address, it hurts the owner because they have to pay a higher fee to spend it than the dust is worth.

All you have to do, is ignore the dust, and spend the other coins at the address.  You pick and choose what coins you include in a transaction.  It's called managing your wallet.  Even the Core wallet has advanced features to let you select the inputs of a transaction.

Dusting only hurts people who don't know how a raw Bitcoin transaction is put together.

[nathansenn]

I finally managed to complete the precious metals Casascius collection all with intact holograms, along with every year and denomination of the originals (along with the very first error coin).  I thought some people might like to see them, so here they are.  They are all loaded with the exception of the 1000 BTC, which still has an intact hologram.


Not pictured is the St. Petersburg coin.

...and of course the originals.

Wow such a nice set will be worth a fortune one day!

Incredible..You got the collection that I can only dream of. My hats off to you

That is an impressive collection. Something most of us can only dream of

He means when redeeming.  You sign a transaction but don't include the dust.

Somewhere in the neighborhood of a quarter million dollars.

Man oh man... if you only included both bitnickels to really complete the set (obv less bars, one-offs, and debatable anomalies), I would be all over that.

I'd trade it for an original F40.
