EDIT: SOLD

Hey all,

I was going to get this graded but I am willing to accept a reasonable offer. I'd like to send this in to ANACS by early next week so send me your offers quick!

For reference, my other 2011 error coin from the same batch got MS-66 rating, the highest rating known for this coin. I've been offered 4 BTC for the MS-66 coin, this is an opportunity for someone to buy this, get it graded and flip it for almost a 1 BTC profit.

-------

One of the original Series I Casascius coins, with the public key printed on the hologram.

The hologram in the background says ‘Casacius’ instead of ‘Casascius’ (missing ‘s’) so there is an error on these coins as well as them being very limited circulation from the first edition, hence making them rare and valuable.

These were rarely touched, as you see they are in the capsule. If you get them graded, you will get a high grading.

I will do free insured shipping with a tracking # worldwide

As requested, here are my two coins lined up.

Can you put this side-by-side to the graded MS66 one and take high res photos from various angles?  Just the front face.

It is really hard to tell from pictures on these guys.  The ungraded does look really clean for sure!

FYI one 2011 error did get a MS-67 and sold for 50BTC

Shit really? Damn...

Maybe I should just get this graded then, take my chances. I think I'd get an MS-66

Hard to say if the grader was in a good mood that day or what, but an MS-67 is really rare indeed!

Have you seen any Ms-66 error coins sell?

What do you think a fair price is for the MS66?  How much are MS65's going for?

Have you looked at the High Quality pics? http://imgur.com/dgWFoa8,99tRdpZ Click the pictures.

The smudge you see on the bottom on the picture is on the capsule itself, there was a sticker that I peeled off.

My last MS-65 only fetched 3.4BTC @ auction.  MS-66 are harder to find though so a decent markup is expected.

U sell that thing yet? Wait a minute. I need to analyze that coin. Can you be honest and tell me if there are significant differences between the graded ms66 coin and the ungraded one?

I have the opportunity to buy a ms66 brass s1 and a 10btc solid silver for a good deal. Which is enticing but I may pass on it if you can sell me yours for 3btc. Assuming it is in ms 66 condition.
