[WARNING] 1oz Gold Bitcoin peeled last month? Don't destroy history.

Everyone knows Casascius, but few people talk about the "Solid Gold Physical Bitcoins".

Back in the early days, some fanatics were crazy enough to cast actual gold (1oz or more) and load them with 1 BTC. I built an archive to document this insane part of history:

👉 https://goldphysicalbitcoin.com

I need the community's help:

The Missing 20: Early intel suggests at least 20 of these gold coins are currently located in the US. Has anyone actually seen them in person?

Data Verification: If you spot any spec errors in the archive, or know any holders, please let me know.

Museums: Are there any crypto museums actively collecting these early artifacts? They belong in a display case, not a melting pot.

CRITICAL WARNING: Last month, on-chain data showed the 1 BTC from one of these coins being swept to an exchange.

If you are lucky enough to own one, please check the archive or contact me before peeling it. The historical premium far exceeds the BTC value inside. Don't make a mistake you'll regret.

Considering that these are collectible pieces, why don't you try asking the experts in the field? You can open a thread and consult collectible OGs in the Collectibles board. They've been in the game for many years, perhaps they've come across the piece you're talking about.

There's actually an "Encyclopedia of Physical Bitcoins and Crypto-currencies" written by Elias Ahonen. Unfortunately, I don't have a copy. So, I can't verify if "Solid Gold Physical Bitcoins" is included. You can try ping him. But I'm sure many members in the collectible community have a copy. They can verify it for you.

It has been confirmed that it is included in the "Encyclopedia of Physical Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency". Thank you for guiding this newbie. I will go to the Collectibles board to inquire now.

That is painful to read.

It is like melting down a rare historical coin just for the gold content.
The owner likely saw "1 BTC" and acted on the spot price, completely missing the numismatic value.

Ignorance destroys wealth faster than any market crash.

This address, "17Paj2YodiEzRxyNEAh2dc3GRBvGxV47v4", was the site of a heartbreaking transfer last month. It had been sitting idle for over 11 years, and its cost was 5 BTC. It was destroyed just like that.
