Wow - awesome! I’ve been waiting and hoping for a cas to turn up on the show.
Well done mate
Any idea when you and your coin will appear ? Let us know when the episode is due
Were they generally interested in crypto ?
You may well be brought in at a later date as a “buddy of mine “ to validate future crypto collectibles
Thank you! No idea when/if it will air. Likely spring but there's always the chance they don't use the footage. I think it went well/is quite relevant so fairly confident it will make the cut, but I'll def update if I get confirmation either way. Rick seemed to know a bit about crypto, but not very much about Cas coins, would love to get called in on the next one to add more info
he told me to get my yellow slab ANACS regraded because there are better grading companies and that he saw coins like mine going for just over spot etc. (please DM me if you see any s2 silver 0.5's selling for anywhere close to spot! haha)
Very cool! Cant wait to see it.
Sooooo... what are we asking for the coin?
Probably going to hold onto it for the time being! Realized after coming up with a price for the show and thinking about selling it that I would miss it a lot tbh.
This is fn awesome! I used to be a huge fan of this show. I'm curious about a few things, what did you guys talk about exactly, do you know how to properly say Casascius, did you guys talk about other physical bitcoins at all? Are you allowed to discuss what was discussed or did you have to sign something saying you wouldn't discuss it in detail until the show comes out? Great job !
Yeah, can't go into too much of the behind the scenes but I think it was a pretty good conversation about the history of the coins. Didn't go into other physicals specifically. Only thing I didn't love is he positioned it as a cold storage coin made for security, which it technically is but like Krogoth posted above, it was originally made as an educational device to help take an abstract concept and make it something tangible that could be more easily discussed. He actually brought up the "call a spade a spade" and the origin of the saying so that was pretty cool! And yes, I definitely know how to pronounce it correctly haha
I'm curious about how you were invited onto the show, specifically were you told anything about how many of the items that are offered for sale are actually walk ins? Or, are they more like yourself where choice items are sourced then appear on the show as sellers genuinely wanting to do a deal?
Can't go into that unfortunately.
Just finished shooting an episode of Pawn Stars for my Casascius coin (S2 0.5 silver "error") after being invited on the show. Rick offered me face value and I obviously declined. Hopefully helps get a bit more notoriety around these fantastic collectibles! Should air sometime spring 2022.
Very cool!
Got a pic of the coin you used?
Did they get in contact with Mike to validate authenticity?
I wish they were able to get in touch with Mike! Was secretly hoping he got brought in as an expert, would have fan-boyed hard haha

Wonder if somehow the first bits get some air time, otherwise I don't know how that would be authenticated, other than eodguy selling it direct on here. Is there a date and time that was given that this will air.
Yeah not sure, no promises of it ever getting aired or if it does what will make the cut so we'll have to wait and see! They did take quite a few close ups so will likely show the first bits if it airs
