Received the two coins I ordered. They arrived quickly and were packed well. They do both have small nicks in them, but they might have come that way from Casascius for all I know.

I checked the addresses - one of them has an extra .001BTC that was added July 1, sent from an address that also sent .001 to a whole bunch of other addresses, the other doesn't. What's with that? Not really a problem (hey, free .001BTC), just kinda strange.

Anyway thanks for the coins!

That's awesome and odd. I wonder who is sending out some free coinage? Haha.

As for the coins they come straight from Casascius in a paper roll of 50 coins and then vacumme sealed in a plastic bag. Once I receive them I use cloth gloves to place them in the plastic cases you received them in. I'm sorry they have nicks in them. I will check my other coins when I get home from vacation and will exchange them for you if you want.

That's generous of you to offer an exchange, but I think they're fine.

Here's the address of the coin with extra BTC on it: https://blockchain.info/address/13EboHof8EoyB3xW4tssrsufhQtaQmymhS - address 1FFirnLctcZxVx5otnLNZ4dDGUkMBM4vNr is being a Bitcoin fairy and sending Bitcoins to a bunch of addresses. That same address previously sent a whole bunch of 1BTC to many, many addresses and then 100BTC to two addresses and 25BTC to one address. My first thought was that was Casascius loading his coins and then doing... something sending a little extra. But spot-checking the 1BTC addresses doesn't show what I would expect in this case, which would be that all those addresses just had one (or two) transactions to them, and they all hold a nice round 1BTC (or 1.001BTC), but that's not really what I'm seeing. A mystery!
