Received the two coins I ordered. They arrived quickly and were packed well. They do both have small nicks in them, but they might have come that way from Casascius for all I know.
I checked the addresses - one of them has an extra .001BTC that was added July 1, sent from an address that also sent .001 to a whole bunch of other addresses, the other doesn't. What's with that? Not really a problem (hey, free .001BTC), just kinda strange.
Anyway thanks for the coins!

That's awesome and odd. I wonder who is sending out some free coinage? Haha. As for the coins they come straight from Casascius in a paper roll of 50 coins and then vacumme sealed in a plastic bag. Once I receive them I use cloth gloves to place them in the plastic cases you received them in. I'm sorry they have nicks in them. I will check my other coins when I get home from vacation and will exchange them for you if you want. |

I will check my other coins when I get home from vacation and will exchange them for you if you want. That's generous of you to offer an exchange, but I think they're fine. Here's the address of the coin with extra BTC on it: https://blockchain.info/address/13EboHof8EoyB3xW4tssrsufhQtaQmymhS - address 1FFirnLctcZxVx5otnLNZ4dDGUkMBM4vNr is being a Bitcoin fairy and sending Bitcoins to a bunch of addresses. That same address previously sent a whole bunch of 1BTC to many, many addresses and then 100BTC to two addresses and 25BTC to one address. My first thought was that was Casascius loading his coins and then doing... something sending a little extra. But spot-checking the 1BTC addresses doesn't show what I would expect in this case, which would be that all those addresses just had one (or two) transactions to them, and they all hold a nice round 1BTC (or 1.001BTC), but that's not really what I'm seeing. A mystery! |

Well, I remember when I posted pictures of one of my coins on Reddit, people were "trolling" it by sending various small amounts to it. I just said, hey, more bonus for the buyer!

I don't know about the 25 BTC coin, but the 1 BTC and 5 BTC coins are the same size, and I believe that they fit in the 28 mm ring, but I could be wrong. I remember seeing the size in a post in the original Casascius coin thread a long time ago. Depends where you are based but i bought the lighthouse ones from ebay in the UK last week. You will need 29mm for the 1 & 5 coin. The 25 is in it's own pouch and it is 44.5mm diameter. I just keep mine in the pouch. |

Yeah, that's what I've been doing, too, but I figured if I could get it into an capsule without it touching my hands that might make for easier viewing and less of a concern when I hand them to someone to view. I have a 25 that I used to carry around in my pocket all the time, so it's worn a bit on the front face "B" now and the public key is no longer readable. I'd definitely want to get that one in an air-tite, though the damage has already been done, I suppose. |

I stopped carrying it around the day before Bitcoin hit $250+. Even when it hit $110 I didn't realize just how valuable these Casascius coins were going to eventually be. Plus, since I have others that never left their pouches and are now stored securely, I never thought it was such a big deal to carry this one around all the time.

Hey Nightowlace, Since you have such a good rep (at least in my book), have you thought about selling any other coins? I bet people who trust you from the Casascius Coins you've them might do repeat business with you if you had other offerings. I sure would! |
