2011 Casascius 1 BTC Holo Error

[zipmaster]

Lost a bunch of coins on MtGox recently. I know I deserved it. I know I should have seen it coming.
All this doesn't change the fact that I'm down and need to reel in some coins.

I'm willing to part with my baby, a 2011 S1 Holo Error. I was planning to mail it into ANACS but at this point it's probably better to sell.

Coin is in spetacular condition and ships inside coin holder. I accept usage of buyer's choice of escrow at his expenses. I have all documentation attesting its authenticity and am willing to answer any questions you may have via PM.

I'm looking to get 6-7 BTC (BTC price is lower than what it was months ago) but am willing to entertain offers. PM me if interested.

I hope you will get your price! or even more

good luck!

Kind regards!

Lovely piece of work ,i am very interested in this, however i can only offer 3-4 btc. If you are interested please let me know..

Why do you ask 6-7 BTC for it when it says that it is 1 BTC? I am a bit confused.

Some Casascius coins are regarded collector's items. In particular, the 2011 Series 1 coins show a mispelling in the hologram (Casacius instead of CasaScius) and as a result production was stopped in favor of a Series 2 coin with the hologram spelled correctly.

No sex?!? I have no idea what you are talking about.

Price lowered. BUMP

[notserp]

i think 5 btc is still alittle to high, i think they been going for around 3btc maybe more if graded high

maybe hes some pervert and he like to use coin for sexual purpose. Who knows. I saw at discovery a show about a guy who kiss the bikes... and slept with them

so who knows

I don't agree. The 2013s are going for 2.5-3. While it is true that graded coins are getting a higher premium, this coin is in phenomenal condition. It's been in a case ever since being received.
If I don't manage to sell it I will send it in for grading myself.

Clean and not graded 3-4BTC.. If you get a really nice grade like MS-66 - MS67 they can go upwards of 7BTC

Exactly,  many such 3-4 btc sales happened when the bitcoin value hovered at much higher prices than where it is now.

I'll resurrect this one for a question.

How are these going for so much when there's 11,000 of them in existence?

That's hardly rare considering how many coins Casascius created.

So far you have 13 posts, 99% moaning about coin prices -

How many do you own?  That should tell you how rare it is.

No, that tells me how interested I was, personally, in BTC or Casascius back in 2011. It means nothing about the value the coin commands to a collector.

The interesting thing, I think, is that despite the "coolness" of the error, these are one of the most common coins minted by Mike. In terms of rarity, 2011 series 2 coins should be more valuable.

It's also interesting that when I ask these questions about valuation no one seems to be able to offer a reasoned or structured answer...perhaps this indicates a valuation problem (as people try to auction these off for up to 7BTC each?)
