But it was a funded coin and the condition was also good, original owner was hephaist0s and stored in plastic.
The bit finally closed around the 0.019 BTC range.

Your DIY version with the official hologram seems even rarer to me.
So considering the historical and collection value of the coin, the starting bid of .0150 BTC seems quite reasonable.

Good luck with the auction! Smiley

The printing press heralded the end of the Dark Ages and made the Enlightenment possible, but it took another three centuries before any country managed to put freedom of the press beyond the reach of legislators.  So it may take a while before cryptocurrencies are free of the AML-NSA-KYC surveillance plague.

Appreciate the insight....   and yes, of the 3 different versions of this coins, this is the most rare.

500 coins produced: 350 non-serialized holograms / 100 serialized holograms / 50 DIY

What would happen if this coin was loaded, assembled and graded?

Would it increase or decrease the overall value? (I know its a hypothetical question and anything
is worth what others are willing to pay


Or another way is the value of the coin based on the year, this version of only 50 DIY, original holo
and unassembled?

From my experience, assembling and loading a coin like this would decrease it's numismatic value
Grading it may increase its value, but I would think that due to it's rarity this would add only a small premium
Yes, the value is derived from it being 12+ years old and the rarity of it.

EDIT:

Ideally, I think it would look best in a slab like this from PCGS:

Alternatively, ICG will slab both of these in 2 of the standard size slabs

Right, I understand that actually.
I love that "dual" slab, never knew they existed.
Thanks for the info.

The dual slab from PCGS was amazing, but short lived. Didn't they do away with this type after only producing a few?

Not sure if they did away with them, but might have modified the slab Huh
I have seen other dual slabs before for things like Panda sets!

No current bids
