What Was Your First Bitcoin Collectible?

[slimzak]

Hi all,

I saw a recent thread of a person who posted his first collectible, which was a satori, and it had me curious of what everyone's first collectible was.

My first coin collectible was an MS68 0.01 BTC Factory Funded Denarium that was purchased off of eBay for $900 in February 2021.

Please share with us your story and pictures of the collectible if possible!

Here is a picture!

Nice Denarium & nice price!

My 1st coins were a pre & post fork Satori last month.  Been on the hunt for beautiful physical crypto ever since 😍

Sweet MS-68 denarium you got there. My first Bitcoin collectible that I acquire here is the Luckybit gold rose coin which is been given away here by luckybit casino around 2015 to 2016(not sure about exact date). I purchase the coin that won by my colleagues here in the forum and it start my addiction to collect more physical tokens here.

Sadly I gave the coin to my close friend workmate  as parting gift when I leave my old company.

2019 I bought a prefork Satori for $60 and the three Anonymous coins in the encyclopedia for $3 each on ebay. I had no idea what I was doing and then didn't really get anything else until Jan 2021. Should have bought more Satoris!

I would have to say my i7-860 cpu with which I mined my first Bitcoin with in 2010 was (iirc) in April of 2010

Great story coin_trader!

It seems like most people started off with satori!

Mopar, very interesting to know you were involved in bitcoin right from the beginning. I hope to get to know more of your story and how you were introduced to bitcoin at such an early stage!

Thanks for sharing. Keep it coming!

All the above sound really intriguing and would love to see pics of these.
The thread could be turned into one of those P0rn threads, "The Bitcoin
Collectible P0rn Thread"

Here is my first collectible, its not a coin nut a paperwallet by Polymerbit
which in their own rights have become collectibles.

Casascius 1BTC Silver/Gilt from Mike Caldwell

Edit...also managed to get a signed business card by Mike witha BTC hand drawn image  

That had to be displayed! Nice job on the frame and layout!

I have one just like it with Mike Caldwells signature and BTC doodle in the back!  

Good luck on your auction I will be keeping an eye on this and am sure you will get what you are looking for!  

Thank you, I can never remember the image code. Ah, you're lucky to have one with his signature and artwork on it

Right click on the imgur image...click on properties and then copy URL addy. That simple mate  

When I bought my only coin from Mike it was a silver/gilt 2013.

I asked him for his autograph and he was kind enough to do that and also add the extra bonus of the BTC doodle on his business card

Unfunded denarium dove coin purchased in may 2020 for $125

I got my hands on it and the obsession began.

Since 2020 prices of physical crypto have gone up a lot. Some pieces still remain elusive and hard to find.

My first collectable, just wish I found this place sooner then later,but still happy

First (loaded) collectible was a Cas. Met crypto Steve in the lovely island Barbados 🇧🇧 and took my 9 year old son along for the “business trip” to meet Steve and grab the coin

It all went downhill from there after I found this niche and even scarcer section of the Rabbit 🐇 hole 🕳

These treasures  are only going to get scarcer as more serious collectors learn about the space.

In maybe 2013 I bought a loaded 2011 cas s1 error coin off eBay for 2x face value. And thus the addiction began. Graded it in 2019 came out as a MS68. Probably the only coin I'd never sell.

Amazing, thanks for sharing!

I see a few 1 btc coins as a first collectible. Sounds like those were the good old days. I hope you guys were able to hodl onto it throughout all those years, that would be very difficult I am sure!
