Anyone save the pictures?
Are you showing that they have been removed or are you just saying in case they are one day taken down, kind of like how some images have been doing so lately? I have many saved, and will keep them stored away.

Hi guys! thanks for the thread! I want to know if you can help me to verify if those coins ( Imgur album) are fake or real? It would help me a lot not to make a bad decision.

Hi guys! thanks for the thread! I want to know if you can help me to verify if those coins ( Imgur album) are fake or real? It would help me a lot not to make a bad decision. The pictures are not great and I'd ask for better ones (use a white piece of paper not a hand as the background). You can use this tool to verify they are funded by typing in the first bits here: https://www.smartbit.com.au/When buying use a trusted escrow. Good luck.

All of them were funded as part of the same batch, probably out of the same roll. That is another positive sign.

The blue tape on the hand in the pictures was also a give away of being in a roll Nice eye on the blue tape. OP, tell the seller to stop touching them with their oily filthy bare hands unless they only touch the rim. If they are going to be sloppy about their handling they need to wear gloves.

Thanks for this thread, it's been really helpful. Apologies for the bump, but I figure the information is still as valid as ever -- if not even more so given the recent crypto boom.
Are there any other guides out there or things to watch out for when buying/selling physical (loaded) coins? Given the all-time highs, I'm terrified trying to buy in the current market since any kind of scam would be extremely lucrative.

This thread is obviously great for Casascius coins but for other coin issues/scams etc you’d want to refer to this pinned topic - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3315347.0

Fake Casascius hologram being offered/sold..
Super cheap also... Definitely cause for concern for folks buying these coins. Granted, it looks as though these would be easily spotted as being fake by someone who is familiar with them, I'm sure there are going to be people who lose a lot of money as a result of their existence. Sad. This is also the reason why I charge such a high premium for mine that I sell. At least the buyer can know they're legitimate and have been held in a collection for close to a decade. Be careful out there. In this field there are more people trying to steal from you than there are people looking out for you.

For experts these aren’t going to work. Non-experts, you could just copy first bits of active coins.

For experts these aren’t going to work. Non-experts, you could just copy first bits of active coins. Happy to authenticate any Casascius coins/bars at no cost. The problem lies when these are sold outside of bitcointalk. I’ve seen countless marketplace websites across the world where these types of coins are sold. Many which most browsers will never pick up, not to mention the ones I’ve never seen or ever will and I do a lot of looking around. This hobby continues to face a lot of head winds. I almost hesitate to post/say any of this as to not give people ideas (I’m talking to you scumbag scammers reading this as I know many of you are) but it needs to be known plus this page has been shared a good bit online and places like https://casascius.uberbills.com/?page=tools . Also hopefully people will do research and potentialy come across this thread and prevent potential losses. (This is a reply to everyone, I know you know all this MJ lol)

I’m betting that grading services would even be willing to grade them without a care in the world if the hologram is authentic or not. Someone should try and see what happens. Again, I think most people would be able to tell if it is real after doing some comparisons, but casuals at Bitcoin events with too much money could be easily fooled. If anyone comes across these in real life, make sure to share pics with the rest of us.

The Longding Co. sucks, in my opinion. Also, I think this Ebay sale, while not technically a counterfeit, lives in the same category of ripping people off and hurting the hobby for collectors. https://www.ebay.com/itm/185406688766?hash=item2b2b198dfe:g:D0MAAOSwnftiLCnFSteeley

Beware of scammers. I will never discuss the sale of Collectibles on Telegram or any other messaging client outside the forum.
