Once the 15 minutes is up and no bidding is done after the deadline specified ABOVE, the auction will end.

Should the winner not honor their bid and not provide payment in that 48 period the next highest bidder will be required to honor their bid. By bidding in this auction thread you agree to this stipulation. In other words, please make sure you are able to honor your bid(s) in a timely manner before you bid.

I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO INVALIDATE A BID FROM NEWBIE USERS. USUALLY THIS WILL BE THE CASE IF I HAVE NEVER DONE BUSINESS WITH YOU BEFORE.

For some reason in this auction, I'm feeling a sense of deja vu.  I can't quite put my finger on it.

The good news for you is that I have a few sets of these so happy to honour your bid price and let the existing auction roll.

1BTC silvers have a hologram that's too big for the coin, so Casascius used his laser to melt the outer edge of the holos. On early coins, these melt rings were generally symmetrical. On later coins -- silver+gold especially -- many of the melt rings are terribly uneven. Check the pictures in OP.

ANACS, the third-rate coin grading service that is also the only place willing to grade Casascius coins, does not factor the hologram into their grading system IN ANY FASHION, so it's possible to have two coins with equal grades where one is much more visually appealing than the other.

Most collectors (vs flippers) avoid the silver+golds for this reason. I've had a few but have not kept a single one because I've never had one with a hologram worth keeping.

THAT SAID, if you're buying these coins to grade and sell, go ahead. Just make sure you sell before the market smartens up and starts buying the coin instead of the grade Wink

No longer buying/selling Casascius coins. Beware scammers.

1BTC silvers have a hologram that's too big for the coin, so Casascius used his laser to melt the outer edge of the holos....

A footnote--perhaps the greatest benefit to the laser-melt ring is the additional, if not foolproof security it provides, in the aftermath of the DEFCON Casascius hack announcement last year.  Old news, but for reference:
http://codinginmysleep.com/casascius-physical-bitcoins-cracked-at-defcon/
and Mike's response:
