hi
i would like to purchase a casascius bitcoin . i have someone that is going to sell me a 2013 coin for 1.15
Is that too high?

what are your thoughts? what is the best way to buy one without getting ripped off? as far as price and not buying a fake

thanks  guys

It really depends on condition.

1.15 seems a little high unless its graded, 2013 is series 2, 1 BTC brass was the was the most common of all Casascius coins made.

Use escrow or in person trade. As for fakes, check KrogothManhattan's really good post on 2011 fakes here:https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3257048

If youre not confident, ask to use a reputable escrow from this forum.They will be able to tell if its not legit.

There are many Cas aficionados on this forum that will chime in on this post soon enough and you may even receive PMs with a cheaper price.

Careful, newbie asking newbie to move off forum onto telegram. 9 times out of 10 doesn't work out so well.

I have a loaded 2011 brass 1 BTC that I am considering selling. It's not graded and I got it back in 2011 and let it sit in a jar of coins for years, so it doesn't look beautiful - obviously not looking to get tip top premium for it. Happy to use a reputable escrow service here. Also a newbie so wanting to be super careful about the transaction.
