as you are an asbolute newbie here in the forum, I recommend to use one of the escrow/sale-legends for help (minerjones, MoparMiningLLC, anonymousminer or similar) otherwise it's hard to find accurate buyers or not being on risk for a scam transaction. always safety first, for both sides of a transaction.

[heng1332]

Thanks, I am learning about how to use escrow .
I would like to know if anyone can help identify these coins and their value.

@minerjones @krogothmanhattan might help you to identify these coins. This is my first time to see a prototype Casascius on this form but the design is a bit different to the Casascius coin that I knew and currently holding.

You can use this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2022902.0 by MJ as reference for your search. I’m interested to purchase some if this is a legit Casascius prototype.

Material: Aluminum
 Diameter: 32 mm
 Thickness: 1.3 mm
 Weight: 2.7 g
 Country: USA
These light and cheap coins are the only non denominated Casascius coins, and come with no  hologram stickers or private keys. There is a slight
indent on the back to make storing a private key under  a personal sticker easier.  One popular function of the coins is for use as personal
business cards; simply create a sticker of your contact  details and put it on the back. This has been utilized
by some Bitcoin companies. Perhaps unexpectedly, these coins have been used  as a medium by other coin producers to create prefunded or unfunded physical crypto-currency for commercial purposes. These include SerpCoin, Cryptofreeze, AussieBTC, and others. They are sold in packages of 500, and are the only item
available through Casascius after normal production and sale of coins ended. These coins come in different colors, though the majority are plain aluminum.

With a mintage of 80000 and different 8 colors (?) those coins have been sold trhough casascius website.
Definitely interesting as early coin and even without holo they have become something "desiderable" and iconic.
I have seen sales between 20USD up to 80USD per single based on color or offered in a lot (of course on ebay there are listing pretty higher).
Really interesting the full package of 500 coins. An auction (and an escrow) could be the best way for a sale.

[SurfinPanda]

Did these come in packages of 500? I thought they came in rolls of 50.

[bitbollo]

Each roll should be less than 500 for sure... this is the description from the website: https://casascius.com/
"bag of about 500"
even if these are still listed and available online directly from their website it seems they are not shipping anymore (also the price should be out of original range ... 0.39 BTC )

[heng1332]

Did these come in packages of 500? I thought they came in rolls of 50.

One roll contains 125 pieces, and one pack contains two rolls totaling 250 pieces.

Is one of these rolls what is owed to ChiBitCTy?

I wonder if there is any interest in crowdfunding a sale to make that right…

Thank you for your explanation. These coins should be correct 。

I want to know if this price is correct now?

May I ask how to buy? I can't find the way.

Go to “More”, its right by the logout button, press on it, then it will say “Buy Copper Membership”. Press it, Send BTC amount to the address provided. Boom you are a Copper Member. (It will give you an option to “wear” the badge, wear it to be granted privileges.)

typically the funds and the item both go to the escrow - once verified, item goes to buyer and funds go to seller.

How much for a roll?

How much for a roll?

Because no one has ever sold it like this before, and I don't know how much it should be.
