[WTS] My Casascius Collection

[goldlyre]

Besides of a dozen of 1btc brass Casascius which I bought at more than 7 years ago,
I also have several dozen or so pc of BTCC Mint Titanium coins, as well as some BTCC Poker Chips.
Shall make a showcase of them someday if uploading pics is quite easy here.

Yes please do. I'm sure most would love to see it! You can use https://imgur.com. Also regarding the WeChat group you mention in the post below are BTCC and Cas coins actively traded in China via WeChat groups these days?

Yes, Sir. In a certain We-chat group where I'm in, 7 or 8 auctions may be were sponsored mostly for bidding
the BTCC Mint coins and poker chips.

OP how much is that 2013 one with the gold B and silver background (1 Bitcoin) worth would you say?

I've sold many of them for well over 2 BTC.  I haven't bought or sold one in a while though, so I'm not sure my opinion is up to date.  I wouldn't be overly surprised to see one sell for 1.25 BTC or 1.85 BTC.

Hi,

You can use an image upload site such as https://imgur.com/

Then select the "bbcode" link option and copy /paste that bbcode in here to see the pics.

For example :

I’ve got an extra 0.1 BTC Silver Casascius coin I may be selling if anyone was looking for one. Feel free to pm me an offer. Condition is excellent.

Sold.

Willing to entertain offers in the neighborhood of 45 BTC.

Would also consider offers around a million dollars in USD at current rates if someone wanted to arrange this.  We could set it up through a lawyer and use an established escrow agency.

How does such a perfect collection go this long without being graded? I cant even handle having an ungraded CI coin in my collection

    My cas coins are all ungraded..Its not that I do not want to grade them...its a matter that the ONLY WAY I would grade them was for me to physically going to the grading place...have them graded in front of me and THEN
    leave with them in my hands.

    Its also a matter that some people do not trust the shipping...and with something of this value, I would not part with them in any way.

    Thats my 2 Satoshi..I am sure others do not mind shipping in the mail. But I would. At todays BTC prices, there is too much at stake.

[Hookzup1]

I agree completely but there have been years these could have been graded where shipping would not have been an issue or you can do what i do and pay an icg employee to travel to you to gather all the coins at once and then bring them back to your nearest airport when done

The dangers of moving a collection like this are real and that is always a consideration.  However, my main reason to not have these graded is that I believe grading is only a negative thing for most coins (obviously there are exceptions).  Removing these coins from their capsules and exposing them to oxygen as well as other potential contaminants along with adding more people to the chain of possession can only be a bad thing in my opinion.  I've seen cases where graded coins begin to tarnish where their ungraded counterparts did not, leading me to suspicions that not all coins are properly handled when being graded.  I've also seen enough coins graded and then re-graded to get a wildly different grade, so I have my doubts as to how valid the ratings are anyway.  I don't want my collection's worth to be determined by whose desk it landed on or if that person is having a good day or not and I don't want to trust that the person handling them is going to do so properly as I have no way to verify this.  It is simply a case of a lot of risk and no tangible reward in my opinion.

I am considering selling off some of my brass Casascius coins individually in the future. Likely beginning with the most recently produced. If anyone would like to make me an offer, feel free to send a PM. Not looking for trades.

I'm curious what people think a fair price for this set of coins is these days.  The two 2011 coins especially, as the first one is coveted for it's famous error hologram and the second is pretty rare from what I've witnessed over the years.

[ducatitalia]

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.

Willing to entertain offers in the neighborhood of 45 BTC.


Not pictured is the St. Petersburg coin.

...and of course the originals.

OG...been a while...good to see the Casascius market still alive and well. So many of these coins being redeemed lately with low premiums and skyrocketing value of BTC. Think I saw a 25BTC go down the other day? At this rate, won't be many left of an already extremely limited initial supply. Will be interesting to see what happens to the numismatic value and premium once Bitcoin becomes the global standard against which other assets are denominated...

Hello

I am interested in 0.5 and 0.1 Silvers. Please pm.

Hello

I am interested in 0.5 and 0.1 Silvers. Please pm.

The silvers I'm offering only as a set at the moment.  I will begin offering the brass ones at auction soon.  I will probably start with the 0.5 BTC brass coin and go from there.  I can send you a message when I do and let you know.

[OgNasty]

I have been getting some tempting offers for individual coins so I've reached out to a few people who have expressed interest over the years.  If you've had your eye on one of these coins, feel free to drop an offer to me via PM, as it is more and more tempting by the day to begin breaking up or peeling this collection.  I will most likely still offer many of them at auction but I'm not opposed to skipping that process if the opportunity presents and someone would appreciate more privacy than a public auction offers.

[Otoh]

...watching...

[OgNasty]

I mean, it's worth the cost just to meet me and have a few beers.  The coins are really just a bonus keepsake of our time together.
