A mint 2011 series 1 Casascius physical bitcoin sold for USD $7,100 on eBay yesterday.

First series Casascius coins are highly sought after by collectors.

During the last bitcoin price spike in 2013 (to $1250) many changed hands on eBay for about ~USD$3,000.

Yesterday's transaction represents a ~250% premium over current prices.

Good post, I like to learn about stuff like this. It shows the extra collector value of alternative mediums of storage for BTC. In this case most of the extra comes from both the artistic value of the design and the date of the coin. I wonder for how much will the original 1BTC Casascius edition will go in 2020. If there are $10,000 predictions for regular 1 BTC, these coins will go for huge values.

Well, imagine when the price of Bitcoin is $ 10,000 / BTC and compared to 2011,, 1 Casasius Bitcoin can up to 100.000$ in that time lol Roll Eyes
