Nubbins has one of them that was graded. You might want to msg him and see if it is still available.

[bitgan]

I have a few of these for sale. Contact me on pm for more info - escrow accepted (your expense)

[antp1114]

very cool

Is there any site (not eBay, the prices are fire!) still selling Casascius coins, with escrow?

The last distribution of coins was 18 months or more ago.

There are a few places still stocking them but I don't know how up to date they are.

https://www.cryptodechange.com/bullion/  - I bought a silver coin from there. All went well.

If you want escrow you'll have to buy from someone on here.

your best bet is to put up a wanted ad in the forums. I think that theres a lot of the coins have already been sold and distibuted that whoever still has coins to sell might be more cautiously HODLing.

consider the 1BTC Silver+Gold. It sold at a point for about ~1.3BTC/coin from Casascius directly. Over the last 2 years its increased to a 2.5-3.0BTC value

What Casascius coin are you after? I have an auction up for the lowest priced coins he made right now -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1072042.0

Uhm, just in case you didn't know, he also offered some 0.1 BTCs for a while. Probably those are very rare since they came at a hefty premium going at 0.4 BTC or so. Still have a couple of them lying around somewhere

They go for a whole lot more than 0.4 now. The most recent sales have been above 1 BTC.

Still too cheap. I guess they're much rarer than the usual 2011 error coins, which should make them at least as expensive (of course, error coins have a much greater demand, but with the 0.1 it's the supply that drives the price). Even if you sell them at a discount for their low face value, that should take them well over a couple BTC. But then again, IDK, people aren't rational when it comes to collectibles.
Anyway, I don't intend to part with mine anytime soon, they're my shiny little preciouses

Yeah! I think the web address is www.bitcointalk.org.

Ha, seriously, this is the best location to find Casascius coins, reliably. (Although I personally take exception to some of the prices people want, but that's a completely different story and entirely up to the buyer and seller.) I've bought these coins on eBay too, which has worked out well, but you just have to be patient and wait for an auction to come out. The coins that I see on eBay now have been sitting their for a year at their $1000-$2500 price (insane!). There's a reason they haven't sold.

I'll check out the other sites people have listed here, it's always goo to know what other options exist.

Last, have you seen this site -> [url]http://www.spotcoins.com/bitcoin/casascius/url]  It's the best source to gauge mintage of the coins and get a detailed description on each.

Good luck!

"laying around somewhere"?!?

I'm sure you know where your preciouses are!

You should find them and count them!

Since this thread has been revived, I think its the perfect place to let everyone know about the Book that I am selling that lists all physical bitcoins, most importantly Casascius!

An extremely limited number is being printed, so reserve now

I meant the lowest purchase price not denomination. The tenth coins sell for .9 and up if graded well.

They must be somewhere down there at the bottom of my pool:

interesting..

Does anyone know how to gauge numismatic value of the coins? I mean the unfunded coins, where bitcoins have already been withdrawn from?

E.g. what is the numismatic value of
0.1 BTC Silver
1.0 BTC all Silver
10 BTC all Silver
1000 BTC 1oz Gold?

I'm not so sure I've ever seen an unfunded silver coin for sale. I remember reading on here that Goat wanted $50,000 for an unfunded gold coin.

thanks. interesting.. 50,000 $ sounds a lot, but it is only 1 out of 5. People pay millions for rare coins..

The market will ultimately get to decide. I expect the value to be based on a combination of scarcity and demand. As a seller, I do not intend to offer such pieces if/until the market becomes significantly larger.
A few examples. Nubbins has sold a bunch of a rare-mintage coin, only 45 exist.  He's gotten something like a 2000% premium for them.  That is all collector value. A redeemed piece would have had 1900/2000 the actual value, all the rest is investor-value-added.

There are rarer pieces.
There are only 17 of the S1 100 BTC bars.
There are only TWO of the 500 BTC bars.

Once the market takes off, some people will try to build complete sets.
Every single investor will have to make concessions on what their set is.
It would only be possible for one person to make a complete set. Only 1 500 BTC bar remains. I think only 1 or 2 of the original 1000 BTC coins remain.

When this happens, people will fill in these set pieces, much the same as a coin collector may try to make an MS-65 set, but have to settle for an MS-55 for a particularly prized piece.

The parallel here will be, damaged and/or redeemed pieces.
For pieces with lower mintage or higher desirability, I expect those premiums to be the highest.

I don't anticipate any of that happening until the market were so mature that collections were more distributed, and there was constant buying tension from people looking to 'perfect' their collections.
