Is a loaded Lealana coin really worth less than an unloaded Casascius bearer bar?

Well, when I put up offers like these I usually push my luck a bit. But some of these go for 400$ on ebay, and around 1.8BTC here. And I'd say the price of a 25LTC would be 1.1 - 1.2BTC or so. I guess I could be wrong about the 25LTC price, but LTC itself has gone down significantly.

Just want to add, that the 25 LTC is relative rare (less than 500 I belive?) and in my opinion the most beautiful of all the Lealana coins, 1.1-1.2 is definitely realistic, would even consider buying it from you

Is there a thread where people can ask for price checks of physical crypto coins or a place that has the average prices listed? I'd like to see one as it'd make it easier for people to agree on a price. Most crypto coins don't have a large enough market to determine the exact value of them.

Agreed. There are so many times where someone has a coin on offer and I have no clue what to bid.

I've tried to get people to agree on a stable valuation for the different coins, but honestly it's not realistic. It's not right to control prices like that. It's all about what a buyer and a seller agree upon. Personally I believe a 2-3x valuation is appropriate for a loaded Casascius coin in mint condition. You're paying 1x for the face value of the coin and 1-2x for the numismatic value that is "Casascius".

There is some information you can use to help you understand what to bid, based on the size of the mintage (some coins have lower mint numbers and therefore are more rare). You also want to consider the condition of the coin.

This is the most concise source I've used: http://www.spotcoins.com/bitcoin/casascius

I think it's be appropriate so the seller isn't getting scammed out of their money and they have a ballpark estimate of what the coin is worth and they can use that base price as a guideline whether they want to pay higher or lower for it. It's really easy to just claim a price on a coin or collectible and someone will pay or sell at that price because they are misinformed of the actual item and the seller or buyer knows that and takes advantage of them.

Are you looking to sell for 2x face value or what

I see this often enough that I feel like I need to address it.

The value of a collectible coin doesn't have anything to do with its face value.

"2x face value", etc, is simply not how coins are priced, and it doesn't make sense to say things like this.

Here's how a coin is priced:

<intrinsic value> + <numismatic value> + <seller's premium> = <price of coin>

For bullion coins, like Krugerrands or silver Maple Leafs, the intrinsic value is the value of the metal. For a Casascius coin, the intrinsic value is the face value plus the value of any precious metals.

The numismatic value is the amount of additional money the coin would fetch, based on its rarity or desirability as a collectible.

The seller's premium is the profit margin of the seller.

Note how there are no multiplication (x) symbols in the above equation; only plus (+) symbols.

Using the "?x face value" system does nothing but help people with high-face value coins rip off the general coin-buying public. "Buy my 10btc coin for 30btc -- only 3x face value! It's just like getting an 0.5btc coin for 1.5btc!" -- this glosses over the fact that the seller is asking a TWENTY BTC PREMIUM for a coin that's not even one of the most rare Casascius coins. Think about that. Even at today's exchange rates, that's a TWELVE THOUSAND DOLLAR premium. For a privately-minted round issued in 2013.

Go into a coin store and tell them about this, watch their jaw hit the floor.

Something to think about

This "x face value" gibberish is one of the more enduring stupidities around this place (no offense, possum...)

Anyone who purchases a collectible item without knowing its value is a fool.

Price guides + becketts are the reason people are informed of the price of collectibles. They arent only used for trading guidance either but a number of other things. Without price guides the exact situation would happen as it is here where people are confused on the price of something and then they get ripped off. It's hard to put prices on crypto coins because of the limited market for them but there is a ball park estimate of what each coin is worth.

[snarlpill]

It's a free market, I don't think anybody is "scammed" or ripped off if they voluntarily buy something- no one forced them to buy it. A collectible item is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Obviously people are going to try and get the most money they can when selling their items- because life costs money and they're trying to make money. If I'm selling a Casascius coin and someone offers me 2BTC and another person offers me 3BTC, who do you think I would sell it to? The person paying 3BTC obviously. Now if someone said- "3BTC is too much for me to pay for a Casascius coin, I think I'm going to look other places for a better price," then good for them- that is their choice and their option to do so as a consumer in a free market. No one held a gun to their head and forced them to buy that coin for 3BTC.

Just my opinion.

Fair enough, you're right on both counts. These things are harder to price than bitcoins themselves
