That's funny. I've had people tell me on IRC that it looks like I used a sharpie. But nope, it's the real deal. That's how it shipped from Mike. I don't think I have the guts to deface such a beautiful coin. You have so many 1btc coins if you ever feel like you don't want them I'm open to take them I have a couple listed. If interested, see: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=673819.0

I don't think I have the guts to deface such a beautiful coin. If you got a signed statement from Mike saying that was the case, I'm sure the coin would bring out more serious offers... Adding real gold like that to a coin is about as cheap and easy as using a sharpie if you have the proper tools at your disposal. That's why some coin collectors think of the gold added ones as being ruined silver coins.

I don't think I have the guts to deface such a beautiful coin. If you got a signed statement from Mike saying that was the case, I'm sure the coin would bring out more serious offers... I doubt Mike even noticed. This was in a roll of 20. If you held the coin and observed it first hand you'll see it's gold plated on there the exact way the B is gold plated. It's not something one can dissolve with 91% isopropyl. I posted this coin on the forum over half a year ago when Mike shipped his last batch of rolls. The notion of defacing a coin with a golden sharpie is absolute insanity. Edit: Assuming it does sell for the right price, I don't mind keeping the funds in escrow until you can sleep sound at night, resting assured your golden heart is the real deal.

Wow this is absolutely stunning!
Can you take a close up shot of the heart?
Can you tell us more about it, are you the first owner?
Are you sure the previous owner has not just drawn this on?
Happy to do escrow!

I doubt Mike even noticed.
As someone who regularly assembles coins with holograms, I can tell you that it would have been extremely hard to miss. He did make thousands of these very quickly though. I guess it's possible he was seeing golden spots everywhere on some late nights. I'd be interested in hearing Casascius' take on this.

I'm having a hard time getting my iPhone 5s camera to focus on that little speck. It keeps focusing on the mirror finish (the polished parts of the coin). And when I zoom in it just gets noisy. HOWEVER I have a Canon EOS camera heading my way and I'll be more than happy to take some macro shots and capture all the details. Yes, first owner, directly shipped from Mike. From a roll of 20. I even emailed Mike about it the day I received it and told him how awesome it was. No previous owner. Here is my post in december: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=315526.msg4162394#msg4162394It's satoshi's kiss!

confusing lol,
Yeah I agree! Yeah he offered LTC. Trolling around here. Thanks blazedout. I feel 2.2 is waaayyyyy too low. I gave it a realistic price of 10BTC starting. Not really sure how to price this thing as it's one-of-a-kind. It's a really cool coin though. When I first got this coin I was like WTF is this! Turned out when they gold plated the B they screwed something up and gold plated a speck that makes up a perfectly shaped heart. Has been my favorite coin ever since. The only other error coins out there are the S1 Brass coins, and that was a typo printed on the sticker. This is an error by the mint. On the face of the coin. Very distinguished. When it comes to paper money, any type of defect by the mint (like a folded bill or a miss print) significantly boosts the value. Example: http://0.tqn.com/w/experts/Coin-Collecting-2297/2009/02/Dollar-bill-images.jpgI ordered a Canon EOS camara. When it arrives I'll take a very high res macro shot so you can see all the details. Current photos were takes with an iPhone 5s. Not the best tool in the shed. The only way that coin would be worth 10 btc is if it's face value was 5 btc. I do agree that it's a cool error but its not worth anywhere near 10 btc. I'll up my bid to 2.5 btc and I'll keep checking back to see how things go here. Good luck. 10 BTC is lofty but can't say if it's reasonable or unreasonable. There are several factors to consider: coin rarity, variety rarity, and grade rarity. This coin definitely has two of the three attributes and if grades well would certainly be a "crown jewel".

I'll think about it. I value the coin more than that. If we do make the trade, I'll go ahead and send it to you first, and if you conclude it's legit, send me the BTC, if not, send it back.
