Group buy of large amount of Casascius Coins, UK seller - Zepher Coordinating

[Zepher]

Any idea what you would like for the entire lot?

I'm based in the UK.

Cheers

Based on previous sales, the BTC price dip, their unusual mint condition, and digital certificates; I'm looking for around 47-52 BTC for the lot.

Good to know, thank you for answering my question.

Right. @everyone - if we want to arrange a Group Buy for these coins, I am more than happy to manage it, and to meet No_2 in person to complete the deal.

Lets see what the interest is like..

I have one peasant request. Once the transaction has been done in person. I want to see a picture of all the goods in a pile. Please.

[Zepher]

If this deal goes through, consider your wish granted.

At 45 BTC what premium would the 0.5's be commanding?

At 45 BTC what premium would the 0.5's be commanding?

I've worked out face value to be around the 40 BTC mark incl shitcoins.

To be truthful, I cannot answer your question until a price has been agreed, but approx 0.625 BTC each* - *take that with a grain of salt for now.

[Maicol792]

i'm interested at all this coin inclusive of cas 5 btc ... please send me in PM one all inclusive offer. Thanks

I am not trying to be a dick here Maicol, but is there any chance you can prove you can actually pay for everything? I am only doing this because we are getting very close to being able to buy the coins ourselves.

[BitMiner713]

2x 0.5 BTC here

[Zepher]

There is just 10 x Casascius 1 BTC coins left, and I can start negotiations for the entire lot from No_2.

Everyone involved will be kept informed every step of the way.

C'mon people, 10 coins left out of 45 - we can do this! You won't get coins of this quality anywhere else.

Edit: Note that these are NOT your "regular" Casascius Brass 0.5 & 1 BTC Coin. These are mint, still in their tube (pretty much guaranteeing you MS67+ for the majority of the coins, should you choose to send them to ANACS for grading - which I 100% recommend in these specific circumstances), and they ALL come with PGP Certificates from Mike Caldwell/Casascius himself. You do not see these for sale with a Chain of Custody. Seriously, if you want something truly special, with paperwork from Casascius himself, this is very likely your ONLY opportunity to get one for a fair price. Think about it.

Just wanted to clarify a few things.

The coins have all been taken out of the paper tube the came in have been put into coin capsules to protect them from the air. This was done immediately upon receipt. They were not touched by hand during this process, but obviously Mike Caldwell at Cascascius may have handled them when he made the coins up, though these are from the last batch ever made and he started wearing gloves to protect the coins for the later batches. Please see the photos for details of each coins condition. They are basically as mint as they can be.

The certificates of authenticity are not PGP (though Mike did offer these to some buyers in the early days). They are the later style of certificate, an PDF of a scan of the coins, whcih Mike made and then signed with his Adobe key which is registered to him. Please take a look at the certificates included in the pack I made available to download.

I've also updated the title of the thread.

[krogothmanhattan]

Interested in a 0.5 Cas or are they all gone already?  

If so and someone wants to unload one on me please let me know and thanks

Me too!
Seems like they were all snatched up early but would be happy to offload one from someone if there is availability after krogothmanhattan gets his.

Awesome. Thank you for the clarification there, No_2, and for the thread title change appreciate it. No matter what, if push comes to shove, I'll cover the others coins myself purely due to the condition yours are in/the way you have kept them/last batch/COA's etc.

I know exactly what you mean about the PDF style COA's, and imo are just as good as a PGP Chain of Custody. The whole point is you don't get all of this when you buy a Casascius coin anywhere else. These are special for those reasons.

I am sure this will fill soon, and then I will be in touch - and we can arrange a face to face. I'm based in Nottingham and can drive to wherever you are (don't care that I have doxed myself - QS has done it before anyway and I really don't give a shit ). We'll get this deal sorted bud.

Ill jump in on the .5 btc train reserve list and if that doesn’t work Out I’m interested in a 1 btc. But I have a lot of questions about shipping and that sort of thing...

Also, I looked at the zip and I can’t really figure out the adobe thing. How can you prove it was from Mike based off a pdf?

[Zepher]

Ticked - 1 x 0.5 BTC*
Anonymous (Person is legit but would prefer to remain anonymous) - 10 19 x 1 BTC*
Zepher - 5 x 0.5 BTC.*
Lesbian Cow - 5 x 1 BTC, 5 x 0.5 BTC.*
minerjones - 5 x 0.5 BTC*
BitMiner713 - 2 x 0.5 BTC*
krogothmanhattan - 1 x 0.5 BTC*
AT101ET - 1 x 0.5 BTC*
phishhead - 1 x 1 BTC*

* - These are all on the basis that we come to an agreement on price everyone is happy with.

Remaining Coins Available:

0 x 1 BTC - "Anonymous" has agreed to take the final 10 coins*
0 x 0.5 BTC - ALL 20 HAVE BEEN RESERVED


I have been asked to add a reserve list for anyone who backs out of the 0.5 BTC coins:

1st position: phishhead @ 1 x 0.5 BTC Coin


Right, this is potentially full. No_2, I will be getting in touch.

Looks like you may be out of luck here bud, as it appears all coins are taken.

I have just downloaded the ZIP and will look through it all now. The PDF's would have been signed with Mike's Adobe Key, which prove he made the COA's. I am more knowledgeable about PGP than Adobe, so I will let someone else answer that question for you.

Edit: Shipping: For all US buyers, I will ship them all to either minerjones or Lesbian Cow (depends who is available) and they will have to distribute within the US. I will do all EU shipments.

Ahh, darn

Well I guess just keep me on the .5 and 1 btc “reserve list” and just let me know if someone backs out. Would love to have one of these as my first cas coin

I will stick you on the reserve list for the 0.5 BTC, but "anonymous" has allowed you to have a 1 BTC if you want it.


I am going to be fair and give 2 x 0.5 BTC coins to the first 2 people on the 0.5 BTC reservation list. They would be krogothmanhattan, and AT101ET. That reduces my coins to 5 x 0.5 BTC's.


I have sent an opening offer to No_2, people involved will be kept informed of events.

Thanks,

Zepher
