[Auction] 2012 Casascius 5 BTC Series 1 ICG MS69 (best grade I got!)

[coblee]

I'm auctioning an ICG MS69 Casascius 5 BTC coin. I'm the original owner of this coin. Bought it straight from Mike Caldwell (Casascius) around 2012 and kept them in my safe until recently when I got them graded by ICG.

Nice coin my friend. Sorry to be a little bit off topic, but I wanted to ask your opinion. I have a coin that was graded MS 67 by PCGS, I'm pretty upset about that because its definitely better than that. I feel like if I sent it again they at least give it a MS68. But do you think ICG is more lenient? I feel like I want to try them instead.

Probably should open a new opinion thread or something and dont know if coblee could answer this.  Bare minimum worth cracking and sending in.  For mere peanuts compared to usd value of a nickle I probably would send it in to ICG, if you are judging it correctly it shouldn't be any worse than a 67.  Open a thread with some pics.
