Asking Price: 70 BTC 85 75 82 85 90 100The coin has been graded by ANACS as MS-65. Such a rating represents an Uncirculated state. Here is the official definition (ANA) of MS-65:
"A coin graded MS-65 shows an attractive high quality of luster and strike for the date and mint.
May have a few small scattered contact marks, or two larger marks may be present.
One or two small patches of hairlines may show.
Noticeable light scuff marks may be seen on the high points of the design. Overall quality is above average and eye appeal is very pleasing..."
This coin was graded prior to the discovery of the pseudo-exploit.
I know of less than 10 other coins that were graded prior to the DefCon
failed-but-close security breach.

List of all Active Version 1 25 BTCLink showing coin balanceAt most, 227 25 BTC S1 coins remain active. Initial mintages for S1 and S2 were about the same, but S1 coins have had nearly half redeemed, making them much more rare.
Note that this Mintage is significantly lower (about 18 times lower!) than the 1 BTC holo errors.
This mintage is also lower (by about 3x) than the 5 BTC holo errors, of which there may be up to 600.
You can compare this coin's Mintage to other mintages in the Collectible Marketplace.
The ANACS case has some scratches. I made sure to make these visible in the pictures rather than obscure them - you need to know exactly what you are buying.
You can rely on ANACS' reputation to know these scratches are on the case, or the coin would not be graded anywhere near its quality.
It is a personal, low-cost choice (less than $50) for a buyer to resubmit this coin, if they desire to get a cleaner case.
Know that in so doing, you will be forever forfeiting this coin's graded-before-exploit quality.
If you would like to go this route, I would be more than happy to help guide you through the regrading process.
I warmly invite your purchases, offers, and competitive offerings.
