Hideous Ebay find (fake Casascius bar)

[markinaz]

I was Christmas binge shopping online and stumbled on this hideous copy:

Clearly this won't fool anyone on this forum, but it is the first time I have seen this and wanted to share.

Thanks for sharing this. Maybe there is a place here to achieve these. It's so odd/off. Id consider it more of a replica of sorts. Not sure what other members consider this to be classified as. In the listing it doesn't mention Casascius (although the hologram does so technically it's a fake). It just says “crypto-collectable”. - I wonder how many they made.

Interesting, a few have sold as well.

1,000 BTC for $190. It’s probably worth it for the cool factor even knowing it is fake. I wouldn’t want one, but I could see how it could be a fun thing to whip out at a poker game.

I saw these a while back and messaged the guy to see if he’d try and tell me
It was a genuine piece. He never responded. So he either avoided it for plausible deniability or maybe just doesn’t answer…. Didn’t look good either way

Yes.. worth it.
I ended up with one for under $100....  good addition to my small collection of replica/fake Casascius items, all though this bar is no where close to a real one.
Oh, and PCGS will not grade these
