Planning to sell my 0.1 casascius coin. Unredeemed. I have no idea how

[Mikaca]

Hey. I have Casascius 0.1 Bitcoin coin.
I purchased it from a large reseller of Casascius long time ago when Bitcoin was worth 1700€.

Its in the original (re-sealable?) plastic. Its not been graded by grading company.

I can load photos to here but before I do that I want to make sure I understand this correctly:

1. It's ok to share photo of the hologram with the partial address / code it has?
2. How to load photos here safely?
3. How to sell here safely? I read about using an escrow but the basic concept of it feels very risky.

Thank you.

im interested in purchasing your coin, miner jones is the main escrow person on here, dpending on where you live we might be able to meet in person . i will PM you , =). RS

[Mikaca]

I live in Finland.
I would prefer to physically give the coin to someone and receive € to my bank account.

Is a scenario like this possible?

1. yes you can upload pictures of the hologram and first bits (partial code) without worry. That would let us verify that it is loaded as that is the first letters of the bitcoin address. zero risk

2. Just take photos and upload them to an app like imgur. its in the appstore and free to use. again - zero risk

3. Escrow works in a couple ways. You can send the item to Miner Jones. Packaged extremely durable, think box inside of a box.  Each box labeled and heavy duty packageing tape all around the item. He will recieve it an auction it here. Or you can auction it here. Winner sends the bitcoin to Miner Jones, you ship the item to winner, Miner Jones sends you the bitcoin once item is recieved.

DO NOT TALK TO ANY MINER JONES ON ANY OTHER MESSAGING SERVICE SUCH AS TELEGRAM - ONLY USE FORUM MESSAGE SYSTEM - That is the only way to safely confirm that you are taking to the true real and trustworthy Miner Jones

4. you could give it to Elianite in Finland.. but easy isn't always best and definitely won't get you the most $$$ for your coin

first step is pics tho - and to price how much it costs to ship to the United States, as alot of us buyers are here.

i am interested on the coin if the price is right
check your profile settings you don't allow messages from newbies

I am not going for the most $$.
I just want money easy and risk free.

You can also bring me a car. That would be nice. A new trusty used car for me and my dog to serve us for years to come.

Thanks.

Pinned at the top of this board is all the info you’d ever need for how to sell on here - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5277761.0

I would absolutely not mail this. It’s worth enough now that flying across the world is worth it (I mean within reason, not a first class flight booked a day in advanced. There’s too many variables and things that could go wrong and it’s just not worth the risk, insurance on crypto (if you can even purchase it) is always risky , some countries it could pass through via the mail route might seize it as there’s been new law changes of late regarding crypto transactions (I can’t remember specifics, just that laws are getting tighter around it) etc etc..just dont do it unless the buyer agrees to take on the risk 100%.  

Minerjones has escrowed millions of dollars worth of coins over a decades span here. If he was going to steal the escrowed funds, it wouldn't be for this sale lol.  

I’d try to find a buyer in the EU and take a quick flight/train ride to meet in the middle or perhaps have them come to you as part of the deal.  

These coins are very highly sought after. Make sure you look at past sales here and understand its current value. Also look at past sales at Stacks - https://stacksbowers.com/cryptocurrency/

As others have stated do not communicate off forum with anyone. There’s ALWAYS scammers watching these threads looking to sneak in and pretend to be forum members.

I’d personally ask for offers, take your time and settle on the best deal. You’ll get DMs like “I don’t like making offers, what do you want for this” tell them to eat a dick, you can do whatever you want.

Best of luck


Edit - get yourself a legitimate coin capsule , like yesterday.  Not all capsules are created equal either- these are legit https://air-tites.com/ . I would wipe out the capsule with 90% rubbing alcohol, and then place the capsule in an air tight tube/container that’s also been cleaned and stored in a climate controlled environment. Sound extreme? Silver can tone very easily and very quickly , I know from too many unfortunate experiences.

@Mikaca you have already been given a lot of good advice, so i don't want to repeat it here
i would just like to post the complete BTC-address of your 0.1 cas coin here: https://casascius.uberbills.com/?address=1Agy3ncm9DjKW1A3DC7QsfL9DR3BTA4kwQ

[minerjones]

If possible, I would recommend removing it from that cellophane wrapper and getting it into a capsule

[Humble Bitcoiners]

If possible use nitrile gloves & don't touch it with bare hands...good luck with sale🍀

Wow based on this description I am excited to see a picture as it sounds like the ideal candidate coin to be graded & get a high grade. Well done for keeping it in its same packaging how you got it all these years, I hope that the coin is in excellent condition in your case to yield top dollar on the sale. Good luck!

Auctioning this?

[asymmetric21]

Moi Mikaca!

Huomasin, että sulla myynnissä Casascius 0.1, ilmeisesti silver ja vuosimallia 2013?

Olen kokenut fyysisten bitcoinien keräilijä, viestihistoriasta näkee mitä olen ostanut ja myynyt foorumilla.

Asun PK-seudulla ja voin autoilla teoriassa minne päin tahansa Suomea.

Voidaan neuvotella hinnasta. Maksu vaikka käteisellä tai SEPA-tilisiirrolla. Toki bitcoin käy myös.

Hey. I have no memory of taking the coin out of the plastic.
This means I dont know if I have done it or not.

On the plastic it says "re-sealable". I dont how it re-seals but if its anything more complicated than a "zip it to close it" then I have not taken it out.

[Mikaca]

Auctioning this?

To be honest I have no idea what to do.
I need a simple solution:  "Here is the money, give me the coin" but it has not happened yet. I have had contacts and straight offers but an offer has no value when the buyer dont know how to make the transaction happen.

If I would to sell this through escrow and to research on how to open a bitcoin wallet with zero risk of fucking it up then why wouldnt I research some more, get the coin graded and aim for the high-end of the price range?

I have too much other stuff occupying my time. No, Im not a busy man, I am a man with a lot of stress and little money.

So I guess I am just hoping for the legimate buyer to come up.
