You would never get home alive - Pants torn, head shaved, hardware wallet compromised. I am fully qualified in debauchery - It would end in tears

Like I'm stupid enough to bring my wallets with me without any protection. I know my country and it's cities.

Ok. Ive been reunited with my treasured 25BTC Gold Casascius again, while i went gallivanting around Europe. Now i have it in my hands again, its again time to try and see what its worth to someone.

Just to piss on my own sale right from the start......i cant bring myself to post this coin. I want a face-to-face sale, somewhere in UK/Europe (currently in France, but will travel).
If someone wants this posted, thats doable, but you are trusting me to post it, and the postal service to safely deliver it, as full payment is needed beforehand.
Maybe an international buyer knows and trusts someone in UK/Europe that i could hand this over to. Whatever, i wont be posting it unless the buyer assumes all risk. Sorry.

I want 32BTC for this coin.

          This could possibly be the last 25BTC Casascius to be funded.

Cheers





^^That's a flash aberration on the holo. The coin is spotless, as its been in its original plastic pouch^^

I will offer you 27BTC for it. I have purchased 2 of these in the last few months at or below 27BTC.

27.5 if you have a custody chain

Why anyone would sell @27BTC or below, is utterly baffling to me.

Not many people are after 25BTC coins. Also they are by far the ugliest coins Mike made.

This may set a precedent that Casascius coins carry a flat BTCx premium over the face value. I.e., add BTC2 to the face of the coin being offered for sale and that's your starting point for a fair price.

In the end the fair price will always be what the seller and buyer agree upon as a price, but the premium theory could represent the starting point for that discussion.

Not interested in the 25btc but is that 10BTC up for sale?

Each coin is different.  This X face value needs to stop, it doesnt hold when talking about cas coins.  Either way if anyone wants to buy a .5 btc brass for +2BTC for a total of 2.5BTC Ive got some to sell

The 10BTC sold for 19BTC. So each coin mysteriously acquires its own premium value. Thats the magic of Casascius, i guess.  

The fact is, the 25BTC's dont publicly change hands often enough to really know what the premium is for it. It certainly aint a measly +2BTC/less than 10%. Blazed found 2 desperate, and lost souls there.

  The 10BTC cas coin is my mecca that Ive not got yet.  If you come across one please let me know.

Of the last 3 sales I know of publicly it went down like this...


Sale 1 - 2weix: could not find a buyer even at 26 so he peeled it
Sale 2 - I bought graded MS-65 for 27
Sale 3 - I bought non-graded for 26.5

The 10 will command nice premiums and sell fast. The only Cas coins that do not move fast are the 25s. Now if you had a series 1 I would offer a slightly higher premium, but not much. At the end of the day these coins are hard to sell.

Sale 1 - 2weix: could not find a buyer even at 26 so he peeled it

That would be my preferred option, if i couldnt find the right collector.

Peeling a holo feels great for about 5 seconds

If you value peeling a holo over 2BTC then sure

Well I guess it kinda depends. Sending a 25BTC coin in the mail is certainly going to be nerve racking, and even if you use escrow, there is the chance that you will get scammed. Also when you have a physical coin, you probably (at least I don't) take it's digital value into as much consideration as I would having the same amount of digital value in an address that I can sign a message from.
