Updated price.
I don't think a 5 BTC casascius is that valuable.
You can easily get 5 BTC blanks for like 0.04
BTCLoaded 5's are worth between 8-9
BTC. Blanks don't give a good indication of what they're worth.
Can anyone please explain to me why a physical coin of 5btc is worth 8-9btc? Thx.
Coins made my casasicus are among the first of all physical bitcoins, and he stopped producing them a few years ago due to legal reasons. The reason for the price is a combination of demand, rarity and history.
