2014 Casascius St. Petersburg Bowl Bitcoin Coin

[Possum577]

More token coins like this are going to cause a run on the original Casascius coins...you're going to see people selling their stash and the perceived numismatic value will fall.

Awesome looking coin; I would take one or two if the coin was loadable...   But still, beautiful coin

[Blazed]

Honestly the coin being load able makes no difference to me. I think it is nice either way since it represents a specific Bitcoin event. That being said I hope he does not start making tons of them for all sorts of things..

I also think this coin marks and important milestone in bitcoin history, both in terms of Mike's first commemorative casascious coin but also that is the toss coin for a football event.

When that is said, I hope Mike will follow smoothies steps and make buyer funded coins one day.
I like the idea about the buyer send the bitcoins to directly to the coins addy, the "manufacture" then verify that the coin is loaded before it ships out, in this way is the manufacture never in direct contact with the buyers funds, thus FINCEN has nothing to complain about - and we still have the "magic" of buying funded coins.

What is the size of this coin? Or more specifically, what case/box/holder/protector would I need to keep it safe on display?

I disagree and last I read so does Mike. No one should have the private keys except the person who owns it. Why add that layer of risk for no benefit?

Hope to see a shipment notification any day now....Any ETA on this?

I will guess that is have the almost the same dimensions as the Casascius 1 BTC 1 Oz .999 Ag coin.

Elias Casascius Guide say that the dimensions for the 1 BTC silver are:
Diameter: 39mm
Thickness: 3mm
Weight: 1ozt

But you need ask Mike to get the exact measurements or wait until someone have the coin in hand.

Dammit, the coupon isn't valid anymore, but this coin is so beautiful. Is there any other coupon available or am I out of luck.

EDIT: I bought one and I can't wait to receive it. It looks so amazing!

I ordered on 12/23 and got a notice on 1/2 that it shipped.  No tracking info but I am guessing I will see it sometime this week.

Will post pics when it arrives.

I paid Bitpay, but never got any type of email confirmation. Hope my order does not get lost in the mix.

Don't think any of the Bitpay orders had a confirmation. Some orders were marked as not shipped while notices had said that the item had been shipped.
Guess you'll find out soon

Just posting so I remember m, may order some when BTC stabilizes and I have enough to order one.

[Mitchell]

I paid through Bitpay and got an email confirmation that the order has been received and is being processed.

Order #xxx was placed on December 23, 2014 and is currently processing.

This is coming to the EU, guessing your US based?

[jdebunt]

Order #919 was placed on December 23, 2014 and is currently processing.

(EU as well)

I guess these orders are being done in the order they were placed and paid in, so we'll get there soon enough I guess

[kimosan]

I received a shipped email on jan 2. (US) It's UPS so may take a while..

I still argue that without a way to load these coins, they aren't very great but hey a casascius coin is a casascius coin I guess.

This is why I didn't buy one.

Even being a loadable coin would work for me.

I guess personally I am not into commemorative coins.

Mike has done great work with this coin, it just isn't for me.

same here. i only believe in the coins prior to the shut down. i feel in the long term they will carry most value. the rest not so much. nor do i expect a strong demand.  i'm betting the most demand will be for the silver/gold 1btc and 10btc rounds. that's it. 25btc+ will be harder to move but those will be desired too, just by a narrow group.  that's what i think. we'll see. the bets have been placed. i'm not a collector, just a hustler.
