I was very skeptical of your response, so I did a little digging. Look in the quotes in this post. He says it was less than $1,000 at the time, which was later deleted, but is preserved because someone quoted it. It was also the first 1,000 BTC coin ever made.

Good god! Just imagine centuries from now, people will be digging this out, and muttering about how technologically advanced we were.

[xXTMC3Xx]

I really want to know if someone bought one of these.

Good to know, thanks for digging

I know this is a really old thread to revive but i just seen a link to it on another post and had to post what a beautiful piece of history this coin has, 1 rumoured to sell for $1,000,000.
Is there anymore of these if someone wanted, unfortunately not me.

I don't think many would mind seeing this again anyway.

It really is a beautiful piece of bitcoin history. You could say that about this thread itself. It's face value, when loaded, would be 5 million, not counting the gold, the rarity, the type of coin, and collectors value. Wow!

Just it's face value worth $5 million, in what currency?

At today's rates it's face value would be about $440,000 USD by my calculations.
Collectors and rarity value would add a bit, then the gold itself would add more but i can't see anyone paying $5mil for one.

Now Here:



A real charming 1 ounce gold coin with 1000 bitcoins.

DIAMETER: 30mm

COST: $200 premium over gold spot price (subject to a $1850 per coin reserve), plus shipping, plus you provide the 1000 BTC.  Complete with BTC, this is approximately a $5000 coin.  Shipping is via Registered Mail with insurance.

I will need 3 business days to fill orders.  The coin comes with a gift box and 39mm capsule, including a custom-made Bitcoin-themed acrylic ring to fill the unused space in the capsule.

I will be accepting either BTC or USD wire transfer for this item.  To do this, I had to prepay the gold, which has gone down recently, I am putting my faith in gold going back up and therefore selling subject to a reserve.  This is a coin I am having made on demand, and it doesn't make sense for me to pick up a coin to sell it at a loss.  I need to get at least $1850 per coin, so if gold spot plus $200 is less than $1850, then the coin is not currently for sale (or else is available at $1850 plus BTC and shipping).  This may be the lowest price at which this coin will ever be available.

If you want to pay by USD wire, I can buy your 1000 BTC on your behalf and you pay the actual cost for me to buy it at MtGox.

To order: PM me.  I will provide you a signed agreement to deliver your coin subject to payment.

Registered Mail is the most secure shipping service offered by the US Postal Service, meant for shipping precious metals, gems, and currency.  It comes with full replacement insurance, and each shipment has a full chain of custody from shipment to receipt.  Picking up Registered Mail always requires photo ID.  Approximate cost to ship in the US is $23.00.

Back of coin: Firstbits are discreetly lasered into the top of the coin.  No inkjet, no window.

this is old post,and i dont see this post when posted for first time,its crazy if i buy this casascius in $1850,and safe it until this year,and the price will blow up to $443.000 and that crazy profit with small thing,and this only can happen in bitcoin world,one coin have value up to $443.000
amazing!

This coin is very rare so if one would be auctioned (at Christies rather than eBay) it would fetch far more than the gold and bitcoin price combined. Many multitudes more.

Are all the 1000btc coins the same as the one in the pic above, that looks like a "error" coin to me

There are actually three different varieties.
- Series 1 'Prototype'
- Series 1 (as pictured)
- Series 2

Will this be included in the update??

I believe this is all in the current book. There are three separate pages for the gold coin.
