[CLOSED] Casascius 1 BTC Bitcoin Brass Unopened 2011 Typing Error in Hologram

The coin is unopened and untampered so it has its full value of 1 BTC still loaded in to it. There are no scratches or damage visible on the surface. I have kept it in a safe box for around 5 years, although the coin has been touched by hand a few times. I will ship the coin in a plastic container.

I've personally bought it in 2012 in Finland from a wholesaler who had ordered lots of them directly from Casascius and sold them at Bitcoin related events. So practically I'm the first and only actual owner of the coin.

1.125inch (28.6mm) in diameter.

The repetitive small hologram text reads "Casacius" instead of "Casascius", so the middle "s" is missing.

Will provide possibility for the highest bidder to check the public key and that the value is loaded before the transaction.

Seller pays for shipping. Please inform me about your preferred shipping method. Will send insured and after payment.

Coin is not manufactued to be proof quality but is in good condition and especially the hologram side has nice reflection.

Accept PayPal, US$ or EUR, or Bitcoin for payment.

I appreciate that the buyer and seller exchange information about identity and negotiate details about payment and shipping by either phone, e-mail or face to face in person.

Glad to reply to your further questions on this thread or via private message.

All bids are welcome.

Auction will close on Sunday 11.6.2017 at 16.00 or 5 minutes after last bid.

Thanks for the kind offer TMAN.

Unfortunately I've been already offered higher in private.

So is this an auction or not ? Are you disclosing the highest bid made in private ? Is this a private auction ?

Ah, my apologies - thank you for your excellent comment monkeynuts. This is my first ever sale and auction so please forgive.

I ask all bids to be made as public comments to the thread.

Private offers will be not be considered.

Always less pain to be too clear than not clear enough. Welcome aboard

Nice coin, watching.

Monkeynuts - you're exactly on point there. Thanks for constructive feedback. Same to you Scott J.

I'll bid BTC1.175

My offer is contingent on your statement here and that coin is loaded with exactly face value:

Thank you HabBear for you bid.

Naturally understood the contingency on your offer and I would like to point out that I would place such a requirement myself similarly.

On more general note, I feel it is most important that both the buyer and seller feel secure about that details of payment, shipping, possible or probable escrow and all the other possible relevant questions. I'm looking forward to discussing them both beforehand here in public and after the end of the auction personally with the highest bidder.

One day until this auction ends - what timezone is the close time based in?

I don't see this detail anywhere in the OP and I suspect there might be some activity as we creep up to the close.

Thanks.
