Thanks TookDK.
Now I'm just wondering how accurate this site is for keeping accurate counts of each item and has anyone tested it to see if say when a coin of any year and version of these Casascius coins gets peeled that the numbers are reflected in the status section of the site? Here would be an example of some of the more rare versions but I'm curious to know if these numbers listed are accurate for all series and years etc...
EG...
Here on this page....
https://casasciustracker.com/status/If say 2 5
BTC coins (a S1 and a S2 were peeled) and three 10
BTC coins and lets say two 25
BTC coins (a S1 and a S2 were peeled) would it be reflected properly in this section of the tracker? If nobody knows I can try reaching out to Rusbitcoinuser myself and see if he can explain how he set it up etc....Cheers all!

In that case I don't belive that
https://casasciustracker.com/status/ tracker is entierly acurate.
Eg. a "1C" can both be a 1 BTC or 5 BTC coin, obviously it would be easy for a tracker to determine if its a 1 or 5 by looking at the blockchain, in the same way determine their year, however here is where its inacurate, the year it was funded does not necessarily reflect the actually coin production year (that much is certain).
I am not even sure its possible to make an acurate database, without some degree of manual work (see prefix explanation below).
I am more oldshcool I use:
https://casascius.uberbills.com/I have written to Uberbills a few times for error correction, mostly regarding 1 BTC silver/gilt was listed as all-silver, he then corrected it manually in the database.
Ultimately the trackers get their info from:
https://www.casascius.com/fulllist.txt61,560 addresses are listed.
The first 11,000 belong to series 1 coins with inkjetted holograms with the "CASACIUS" error.
The next 1,000 addresses belong to series 2 coins with windowed holograms.
The next 17,000 addresses also belong to series 2 coins, but also start with a prefix that
suggests how the address might be used.
1C is used in 1BTC, 5BTC coins. Many were also given away with "roll-your-own" coins.
1G is used in gold-plated items including bars and 25BTC coins.
1Au is used for fine gold coins.
1Ag is used for fine silver coins.
The next 9,900 addresses (prefix 12) are for 2013 0.5 BTC coins.
The third character is one of these 33 characters: 123456789ABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZ.
There are exactly 300 addresses with each unique third character (33*300=9900)

If the entire set is exhausted, will use 13Z, 13Y, 13X etc as available.
The next 9,900 addresses (prefix 13) are for 2013 1 BTC coins.
