The coin is still for sale.
When you say "very rare"...? How many non- gold plated silver 10 btc coins were made? How many gold plated silver btc coins were made? There are (I guess, source: http://casascius.uberbills.com/), a total of 441 ten BTC silver coins active. I guess that about 300 of them are these full silver ones. The thing that makes this non- gold plated coin more rare (thought there propably was more of these made than the gold plated ones,) that people don't sell these. By checking e-bay, I couldn't find a single one of this type of coin to be for sale. But I saw gold plateds... Thanks for the information. So the gold-plated coins are fewer, but the silver coins are harder to buy... I personally think the silver coins look better. |

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the
subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The
subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

I was under the impression it was roughly 50/50 |

I think there are two different markets, both for the 10s and the 1s. I believe that in both cases, the all-silvers came first, and some collectors prefer an earlier funding date. Other collectors prefer the aesthetics of the gold plating and are less concerned with the funding date.
I'll agree, though, that you see gold-plated 1s and 10s for sale much more frequently. Seems like most people with all-silvers are sitting on them.

I'm not giving you, personally, flack for the price of this coin -- but damn, why is it worth such a high collector's premium?
You're literally paying 18$k for 6$k in BTC (which, who the fuck is going to unload that?) and 12$k for the coin itself. Kudos to you for selling now, before the rally. We'll see how well the coin holds its worth.
Maybe 10 years from now when 1 BTC = 1 BTC, it will still be worth 30 BTC!
Wild.

There's a lot of information about this if you google "Casascius coins" or read a bit more about how Bitcoin works. Here's one resource for you -> http://www.spotcoins.com/bitcoin/casascius |
